Senior Practicum - Med-Surg or ICU?

Published

Specializes in Med-Surg.

Currently, my plan is to eventually become either an FNP or an Adult NP, though I'm open to changes if my interests change. In the short-term, I want to get out of my final clinical is that I simply want to become more confident in my technical skills (like starting IVs, foley catheters, etc) and becoming better at my assessment skills so I can actually know what the status of my patient is. Overall, I simply want to be a competent and confident nurse.

I am choosing between Med-Surg or ICU because it seems those are the best choices for my purposes, though I'm open to other suggestions. Which clinical rotation for my final semester would you guys recommend and why?
