anyone dislike the icu?
Hi! I hope this is the right place to ask this question, but it’s been about 10 months of being in a surgical/ trauma/burn icu (new grad) and i dislike it. I dread going to work. CRNA has always been my dream I enjoy the pathology and disease processes, but the work environment, stress, and dealing with people in constant pain can be a lot. The crna I babysat for felt the same way, but I feel like i’ve only heard of people who love it or want that crashing patient. I know I need more experience, but I feel like i’m comprising my mental health in the process. I can’t tell if i’m having a transitional shock of working, or if this is not the right path/ icu for me. I recognize how important the icu is for crna school and know I can stick it out, but would like to hear others opinions.
