Do you like the MICU? I've been thinking about taking an EMT course and running ambulance. Perhaps once my son is in college next Fall... I've been trying to get in an ACLS course at our hospital. It is only offered twice a year and I have missed to last 2 due to prior commitments! Maybe it is not in my cards :)

MICU is good for someone like me to learn skills and get comfortable with the routine of taking care of very sick people and working with a team and such, but i don't find it very rewarding bc i don't really get to interact with my patients. most are unresponsive. it gets to the point where it seems like the patients aren't people anymore, just objects. so i make the best, and continue learning, and i still talk to all my patients. :)
keep trying to get into the course if you really think you'd enjoy it. things will probably be a little easier once your son is in college too. if it doesn't fall into place then find something new and just as exciting, i say. good luck with that!
