Cardiac Med-Surg or Oncology Med-Surg

[Victoria B, BSN]

I am graduating from nursing school in May! I am very conflicted about what avenue to take. I have been completing my senior-level preceptorship on an oncology unit. I love the patient population, but I lack confidence in my knowledge of all the different types of cancers and medications. I have worked as a CNA on a Cardiac step-down unit for two years now, and I love cardiac dearly. Cardiac is the body system that makes the most sense to me and I excel on this topic. I don't know which avenue to go down is best for growth as a new graduate nurse. I can see myself either going into an ICU or working in outpatient infusion for chemotherapy. Any insight would be helpful!
