This is a really good quiz that has a bunch of possible specialty results. My results were on point, psychiatric nurse practitioner first, developmental disabilities nurse second, nurse manager 3rd, and domestic violence nurse 4th :).

I got Plastic Surgery Nurse and then Domestic Violence Nurse. :eek:

Um what? :unsure:

I am currently a med-surg/tele PCU nurse and wanting to go into ICU. :cry:

Okay, I retook the quiz and changed two things (took off interest in travel - which I don't have, and changed working in small groups to working alone - which I prefer). I got:

1) School nurse - Definitely something I'm interested in!

2) Plastic Surgery nurse - Maybe?

3) Subacute nurse - Maybe?

4) Transplant nurse - Maybe?

Were there any questions where you were torn between two responses? try taking it again and changing those. Changing just one answer can change your results.

The big thing is to not try and "trick" the test by answering what you think will give you the results you want. Also, be sure to be representative of who you are in the answers and not answering with the traits you think people would want you to possess.

Specializes in Emergency Department.

It's not hella scientific, but I liked that the questions didn't totally give away which specialty they would be suited for.

Your'e telling me it's not scientific!!!!

Said I should be a Certified Nurse Midwife???????

I hate midwives and all things midwifery (UK).

Reproductive (awesome, I want to get into L&D, NICU)

Pulmonary (NEVER!)

Subacute (possibly, doing both long term and acute care, I think I'd like something in between)

transplant nurse (something I've thought about for a while)

LOL... it seems to have worked for most of the posters, but of course it isn't perfect.

Your telling me! I don't hate midwives, no matter their country of practice. As a matter of fact I have nothing but the greatest respect for those that specialize in mom & baby, but just the thought of delivering babies absolutely terrifies me! Why that popped up as my best fit I'll never understand.

Specializes in LTC, Med-surg.

Neuroscience nurse That sounds cool.

Otorhinolaryngiology nurse Sure.

Pediatric Endocrinology nurse No. I can not stand being around children and their families. Heck no but if there was any peds speciality I'd pick its that one.

Now, one thing that occurs to me here is that people need to look at this not as a mandate or a confirmation necessarily, but as a wake-up call to be open to change if it comes to you. There are far, far more options in nursing than most students, certainly, ever even know about, except perhaps by title; the qualities that you have might well open more doors for you than you considered.

Life has a way of dropping surprises in your lap. The work that I have been doing for the last 20+ years didn't even exist when I was in my first decade of practice, and isn't listed in this instrument.

And thank goodness....I"m getting too old to want to do a total 180-degree turn again. :)

(I answered this as if I were back in my first year of practice. I got #1 = pulmonary nursing, interesting because I love physiology and there was a lot of pulmonary in my first decade of critical care. Next choices were rheumatology, clinical nurse leader, and HIV. Mmm. IRL I did about 20 years of critical care, mostly open heart and trauma, and teaching, and then field case management for work comp and legal nursing.)

Specializes in Emergency.

Went back, changed a few and got military nursing.

So, got curious and checked to see what j&j had to say about emergency nursing. Here's their blurb - "Characteristics - Fast-paced | Multifaceted | Structured | Patient-facing"

Structured? Ummm, ok, let's agree to disagree.
