Psych nursing for me; I love listening to people and helping them deal with their problems. A lot of them are so grateful! It makes me feel really good to feel like I've made a difference in someone's life. I worked as a psych tech for four years in a busy emergency department, and also as a counselor in a non-acute unit, so I doubt I'll change my mind. I know I love it.

I haven't started school yet but I would like to go into either L&D or Geriatrics. I had a friend who graduated a couple years ago and her mind changed several times in school before she finally decided what area she wanted to be in. I've always wanted to work with babies.

I intend to be in the NICU. My daughter was a NICU baby, and I want to help the families who are there. I don't know if my mind will change or not, but if it does it will only be to Ped's, probably ICU.

Hello

I wanted to reply and say that I haven't yet started school due to me having a baby. I have four children so I've spent most of my time in the Labor and Delivery Room.or in some type of OB_GYN setting I ultimatelywant to go into the LaborandDelivery Floor in the Hospital.:imbar . The nurses were very very nice to me and were there to comfort me during delivery. I also thought about being a midwife because the one I had was the best:kiss. I whined and complained with the two that I had naturally and my midwife never complained not one time. Who knows I may change my mind over again before it's over

When I first started, I thought I'd like emergency medicine. Since that time (and a quite a few clinicals), I think I'm going to go to med/surg. You get a little of everything and I'm working there as an assistant (worked ER for a little over a year) and really enjoy it.

I have been nursing for 10 years this past June and I still don't know where I want to be "fulltime". I like the variety of working part time and casual on other departments. I guess I haven't planted my feet yet in one post.

Variety works for me.

I want to try to get into emergency medicine or intensive care, just because to advance in other areas of nursing or to obtain CRNA you need this experience. I am very interested in flight nursing, or forensics nursing, but you have to have 3-5 years experience in one of these areas first. My mind may change, but I work as a phlebotomist in a hospital know, and we geet to go to all the floor and ER codes. Nothing beats that adreneline rush.

I haven't officially started nursing school yet (still waiting for that letter) but I do know that without a doubt I want to work in L & D or Pediatrics.:roll . I don't know if I'll change my mind...I hope I won't.

I know I want to be in NICU. Like Holli, my son was in the NICU. He only lived 5 weeks and died there this June. He had Osteogenesis Imperfecta, and was born with 8 fractures. He should have lived, but started bleeding internally soon after birth and it ultimately damaged his organs.

I know I could relate to the parents well, and I want to do it to honor him, and hopefully help prevent this tragedy from happening to other parents and babies. I am sure I won't change my mind.
