Critical Care: be it NICU or PCIU or ICU is one of the most challenging and rewarding rotations. You have the sickest and can make a differance - but you also have the most deaths which may affect you.

It sounds like you like kids. Make sure you do a NICU rotation at some point. If you like physiology too, they are pure "black boxes" that don't have other things affecting what they are supposed to do. Plus in your "follow-up" comments, unlike the other icus, PICUs usually have alumni days where you can follow up on your kids many years later.
