I know many ICU and telemetry nurses who successfully transitioned to endoscopy and pacu. They love it. Much more laid back, reasonable hours, etc. I myself went from acute care 5 to 1 tele and IMC work to school nursing. Pay cut, yes. But insurance and retirement make that up in spades. I get 10 weeks off every summer. I travel, camp, etc and have the same schedule as the rest of my family. Be creative in your thoughts. There are many less glamorous jobs out there that pay well. Perhaps phone triage or telemedicine or home based case management. Perhaps step away then look. If it all goes to hell you can always travel work which will make up any deficit. Good luck.
