I would like your opinions on what nursing specialties appears to be the most satisfying. I am a firefighter paramedic looking to work part time as a nurse. I want to be able to go to work as a nurse and be happy and satisfied with what I am doing as well as the benefits that come with the specialty.
I would also like to stay away from ER and ICU since they more closely relate to what I do in the EMS field. I don't want to get burned out. I may work the ER for a short while since I would be most qualified for that specialty.
And I also really really don't want to insert foleys. Anything else I'm fine with.
As far as work ethics. I like to be somewhat busy, I don't like sitting idle. I enjoy academics and research as well has higher stress/action. I like to be fully involved and not limited to only 1 aspect of a project or duty.
Currently I'm leading towards cardiology since I have a high interest in the cardiovascular system.
I am also considering be a school nurse at a University since I like school/academics.
Salary or hourly pay is a factor in me choosing but its not everything
Curious about general benefits, work hours, and other perks of different specialties.
Any thoughts?
