Thanks, very informative

Specializes in Med-Surg.

Thank you. :)

Very nice chart! Thank you for sharing.

Some of those don't seem popular at all. Where's Emergency Nursing?

This is very informative and eye catching guide. Anyone who would like to take nursing as a career should have this kind of guide.

Specializes in NICU.

No peds? or my love of NICU?

Specializes in Orthopedics.

What a great visual aid for those choosing a specialty. Still doesn't make it easier to choose which pathway though!

Specializes in kids.

Hmmm....would love to have seen School Nursing, but a great infographic that I wil share with my guidance department for our College/Career day next week.

Thx!

No OB, peds, case management, ortho, infection control, psych....?

I thought we weren't supposed to post advertising? CTU is a for-profit place.

Soo many specialties and sub specialties! Critical care in itself has so much more sub specialties. Can someone list off all the ICUs? :)
