I'm curious, as I'm considering becoming an NP specializing in palliative care.
I initially planned to work in telemetry, then CCU, and then become a cardio ACNP. But my last clinical was on a tele floor, and it was pretty boring. I think that cardiology might be a little limiting for me.
Since I have an interest in the psychosocial as well as the medical side of things, I wonder if a field like hospice would be a better fit for me. When I was first looking into nursing programs I was focusing on the closely related fields of oncology, pain management, and palliative care. In fact, one of the main reasons I became a nurse was witnessing the great care and attitude of the hospice nurses who took care of my mom.
