One more year for graduation for me so I'm unsure of where to start but I've heard that a yr or two of med surg is usually good.

Do you have any interests in specialty? Like peds, surgery, cardiac... Go with whatever sparked your interest in school. If you are interested in some speciaty, I would start there. If not, do med surg. Good luck in your careers!!
