I have to disagree...with the not as busy part. Yep you will get a whole load of experience with assessments, delegation, wound care, IVs, teaching etc, but where I work I never sit down. The stress is extremely high and rarely ends. I have people coming and going. We aren't a rehab facility, but just your average LTC center who are seeing more acute pts every day.
Like gerinurse said...good experience, but most places are high stress. Every job has stressors.
What about office or clinic nursing? Research? Phone triage?
