   This is my advice, and take on your situation......you simply dont like med/surge or any other type of medical floor. And there is nothing wrong with that. I knew from my first yr at nsg school I needed to specialize, and those floors was no the righ...

    smurf, missjo, marie, thanks..... I am "kiind of" a new grad, as in I have not worked the whole 3 years I have been out of school (and when I did , it was in NICU), so I am kind of "accustomed" to feeling stupid most of the time!!!! I was just so wo...
