I picked LTC cuz it was the closest to geriatrics.

There's just something about taking care of the elderly on a constant basis tha kinda breaks me.

Hoping to get into NICU. I'm with prmenrs..."nothing over 15lbs".

I worked on the PWS unit for like 2 yrs. You get used to it. They are really manipulative though. But it is definitely a specialty and not for everyone!

Labor and Delivery. I cant deal with women and their babies. A baby in distress would just be too nerve racking!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention its a whole different language!

Prader-Willi Syndrome, I believe.

There are LTC facilities whose clientele is composed entirely of people with this disorder.

I picked OR because my back can't handle standing in one place for that long. I need to be moving around. The others, well, I'd rather not but I could deal with them. There really wasn't any rotation in school that I disliked, but I very much prefer teaching and illness prevention, so I'll stick to school nursing!

med surg! too many patients, too many *talking* patients, too many family members, they want out of bed, they all eat, they all use a call light --- no thank you! too much running! no breaks!

give me intubated, sedated, gtts, limited visiting and sick!!! just one or two pts to focus on and really know in and out!

I picked psych. I deal with mentally challenged people with psych issues on a daily basis, I don't want to do it as my job too. It was a toss up between this and LTC with Med/Surg coming 3rd.
