well, i've finally decided that i must be involved in surgery in some capacity. i love everything about it. pre-op, intra-op (although i must admit that anesthesia is the big selling point here), and post-op.

just finished up this week's clinicals there and it's a no brainer. i want to go to a job that intrigues me, that i'm excited about getting out of bed for. i think that surgery is it for me.

so what about everyone else? has anything clicked for you so far?

anyone that wanted to do a speciality and then decided different after experiencing the clinical with school?

Specializes in tele, stepdown/PCU, med/surg.

Rena,

I also love OR!! We studied periop in depth in 2nd quarter and then I observed in 3rd quarter. I loved that you only have ONE patient at a time! hehe I also like the whole environment. I mean it is nothing like floor nursing, but it's still nursing and exciting!!

Zach (seriously considering OR upon graduation but we'll see)

I still dont know where I wanna go and it's scaring me!!! I havent really disliked any area except OB. I am leaning towards ER, ICU, tele, or dialysis....... can you tell I dont have a clue? :o

Well... I originally thought I wanted Labor and Delivery.. But as someone said everyone seems to want that.... As of now I am leading towards anything Pediatrics (Ortho, Oncology, ICU) as long as it is with children..

I am like everyone else, couldn't do LTC.... I would burn out soooooo quickly..

When I was in nursing school I wanted to work OB....until I went through that rotation. I absolutely hated it!! I now work in LTC. It is not the place I pictured myself in, but I love, yes love , it. Don't want to work anywhere else.:cool:

NICU or Peds are my top areas of interests.

Specializes in MS Home Health.

Rena I would like to teach when I am done with my masters degree. Only four classes left.....
