Choice of clinical site for PCT class

[frnzy]

Pre-Nursing student here. I have an opportunity to choose between three hospital wards to do my PCT clinicals. Does anyone have any insight or suggestions as to what I should consider in making my choice?

Choice 1:

Cardiac Step-down unit at Hospital 1 - the same floor I've volunteered at last semester and already know some people that I like. I still volunteer at this hospital, but in a different ward to get some different volunteer experience this semester.

Choice 2:

Surgical Step-down unit at more prestigious Hospital 2 that is hard to "get your foot in the door" at

Choice 3:

Medical unit at Hospital 2

I hear Hospital 2 is a better place to work. And I for sure want a job ~somewhere~ after I'm done with my class. My thoughts are do my clinicals at Hospital 2, since I've never volunteered there and don't have any contacts there. If I did clinicals at Hospital 2, I'd have contacts then at both local hospitals. But I already know and enjoy working with people at Hospital 1 unit.... then again, maybe if I want to eventually work in Hospital 1, I'd prefer the unit supervisor doesn't see me making all my first blunders in my clinicals? So choose Hospital 2?

What do you all think?

I would say hospital 2. There nothing like a good resume...
