Hi everyone, I'm hoping for a little guidance.
I graduated in May and took the NCLEX yesterday. I haven't applied for a job anywhere yet but would really like to specialize in labor and delivery (the reason I went to nursing school). My problem is that I'm a little unsure if thats what I should be pursuing initially. I'm an EMT in NYC and I've been told by several instructors that I would do well in the ED and that is where I should begin my career. I do enjoy the trauma, but it's the everday sore throat, back ache, intox and abdominal pain that I'm sort of tired of. I really enjoyed my OR observation as well as my short time spent in the ICU. Not moved by pediatrics, orthopedics or psych. Med/Surg was ok but not crazy about it. I'll just get to the point. I want to make the most of my new grad orientation and get the experience that will help me the most. Sorry about the length of this post. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thnx.
