!!!!!!!!
what specialty are you thinking? Gonna ride your experience back into OR or switch things up? I hear PACU is a super chill gig and they usually prefer an ICU background but you could probably squeeze yourself in!
I was the same way with psychiatry. I came into my license with 4 years as a psych tech 2 of them in men's forensics. People at my new grad job were shocked by how comfortable I was on an acute psych unit. Knowing what's supposed to happen at the bottom makes you a lot better at directing them from the top.
