Welcome to AN.com, Lorrie90!
Having been an LPN who transitioned to RN and experience in the same areas, also ER, med/surg and others, I find geriatric psych to be the best choice. There's just enough medical to keep my basic skills honed with psych being out front.
Good luck to you in your endeavor!
I was an LPN who transitioned to an RN. During school I found that I was drawn to critical care. However, when I graduated I was too intimidated by it to attempt to start out as a new RN in critical care so I applied to med surg jobs instead. What I really wanted was to get some hospital experience since this was never an option for me as an LPN. After 1 year on a neuro/ortho floor I transferred to critical care and now I can't picture myself doing anything else.
What were you most interested in during school?

I am currently a new grad RN who bridged from LPN. I have 6 years experience; the areas I worked are geriatrics, corrections and substance abuse/some psych. I am not sure what area of nursing I want to be in. Does anyone have any advice on how to find the area that best fits?
