I'm pretty much guranteed a spot in the ER, but I'm still waiting for a chance to check out ICU to see if I want to go there.

I am 58 and thinking that I would be a good fit for me might Hospice and less of an urgent care roll. Maybe some type of computer/RN combination. I always felt for like the young guns would be the hospital world more than someone at my age. I have a long time background in IT, Nursing is a midlife career change for me. We shall see what the play is when it comes.

Ill leave it for my bros to work the chaotic bloody trauma floors while i stay here and take care of the infants or kids haha who knows i havent even started ns yet so maybe ill find my niche. I do like babies and children. And i think those areas need more caring strong male figures to represent them. Ooh rah!

wow trauma internship right after graduating is not bad at all. I still have one year left in my program. I hope to get into ER...but eventually I thinking of working in OR where patients can't talk back:roflmao:

I'm early into my program so I'm not sure. A family friend thinks his wife can get me a job at some unionized place with a decent salary + benefits. Not holding my breathe but it would be nice if that works out. :lol2:

If not I'll just spam all these places with applications and hope for a job. I think I'd prefer working in a nursing home, but I'll come to a decision once I start clinicals.
