A quiz to help you choose your nursing specialty...

Published

Recently I posted wondering how everyone chose their "specialty" in nursing, because I have no clue what I want to do yet. Surfing the net I found this site that asks questions that may help narrow things down. I think it's intended for physicians, but it has the same results. Check it out!

Specializes in ER.

This is an awesome test! It worked for me, my #1 was Emergency Medicine - great, because that's where I work, and where I want to stay when I get done with nursing school! #2 Medical Genetics - no way would I do that - BORING! #3 Vascular and Interventional Radiology - also interesting, because I almost went into a radiology tech program but decided on nursing.

Specializes in ICU, psych, corrections.

Right on the money....Critical Care Medicine and ER were in my top 5 and that's where I plan to be. I began in the ICU on July 4th. OB/L&D were almost last on my list....right where they should be!!!!
