Summary
I have been a nurse for 31 years. I did adult ICU and cardiothoracic ICU for 10 years. I transitioned to adult/pediatric ER. Some of that was travel and some of that was staff nurse. I moved to Virginia in 2006 and worked at an eye surgery center For a year as an OR nurse. I then took a job as an adult/pediatric nurse and then became pediatric only.
