If you could live in any other time period, which would you choose? Could you please proofread my note? I think my answer is pissing the point of the question. If you could live in any other time period, which would you choose? I would like to go back to the past when I worked as a new nurse in ICU; intensive care unit. I have regretted that I went out of ICU after just a month later and transferred a psychiatric unit. At that time, I thought I do not have an aptitude for dealing with emergency situations and take caring serious ill patients. Even if working in a mental hospital was rewarding, my lack of practical experience in ICU has been consistently acting as a block to progress in my nursing carrier. If I had a chance to go back to the past, I would have worked even harder with an expectation of better tomorrow at least for a year.
