you tell them you need/want med/surg experience, and if they express reluctance, you assure them that if the job goes well, there'd be no reason for you to leave...
followed with an irrestible smile.
you'll be fine, and shouldn't have any problem getting a job.
if any mgrs are like me (when i was doing this stuff), despite my doubts, i would sometimes hire nurses and deal with it 'tomorrow'...

What do you say to a potential employer when they ask you why did you leave your last position when the reason is because you need more med/surg experience? I worked in PICU and just felt like I needed med/surg experience first. I want to eventually go back cause I loved working that floor. The problem is it seems when I tell the managers that, they think I'm just going to stay with them for a year then leave. Yes that may be true but right now I just want to get a job and get that experience. Any suggestions?
