With ER experience, you can pretty much work anywhere: rehab, home health, gastro, ob/gyn, step-down, case management, or continue education and get your MSN, then maybe go into management

I agree with all the people saying PACU! I have been per diem in the PACU for about a year now, and still currently work full time in the ED. PACU is great because you still have that petient turn over, but you only get 2 at a time because PACU is held to ICU ratio standards, and they usually WAY more pleasant than the ED, lol.

I would say critical care units. There are specific units for critical care if you favor one patient population over others.
If you want something more slow pace then OR is a favorite of mine.
