Experience before PICU

Hello!

I am going to be graduating in May with my BSN and my goal is to end up in PICU one day! I was wondering if anyone with experience had any advice. I would like to get some experience before moving to PICU, so would you recommend an adult med/surg or a general peds floor?

Any advice is much appreciated!!

    Huh? Why would you think adult med/surg will help you if you want to work with children? I don't understand your post. It is pretty clear what the answer is.

    I would look at pedi, preferably at a hospital that also has a PICU. I know that in some nursing programs you'll get a lot of encouragement from faculty to only start in adult M/S, but I don't think that's always the best route for a person interested in a specialty area, particularly with how common nurse residency programs are these days to support new grads or specialty-changing nurses.
