I made a post awhile back about leaving my new grad ED residency program for med surg and how I regretted that decision. I did enjoy having ICU patients while in the ED and liked the critical aspect of care which I feel like I'm not getting in med surg. Is there any ways I can expedite my experience to getting an ICU offer? I started my ED program last September and my friend told me I need to wait 6 months before transferring in the hospital again. Or I can start looking for an ICU job in September once I hit a year. I just feel so lost and hopeless right now especially after this switch.

I was hired for an ER residency program in the same hospital I worked at as a float PCA. I was in the ED for a few weeks when I had constant anxiety, fear of the unknown, and nervousness with certain patient populations. I voiced my concerns to my educators and they offered me a switch.. me being naive and not realizing the result I took it. I'm now in a med surg/tele unit that specializes in strokes but I'm extremely saddened with my decision. The unit workload is very heavy and staff support is minimal with many already blackmailing or snaking me. Its only been 3 weeks since the switch but now my mental health is shot and I feel useless and not capable of holding this degree. I want to switch back but they already said bye. I feel like I'm at my lowest and idk what to do anymore.
