Aptitude test for branch of nursing?

[BonnieSc]

Does anyone know of any career aptitude tests that will help you figure out what type of nursing you're best suited for? I know other career fields have these, and I could use some advice.

This is for doctors (residents) but some of the stuff would still apply - it comes up with different areas of medicine that you'd be suited for:

I did my thesis on a similar question and the answer is: no. There are plenty of tests out there to tell you more about yourself. I like the Kiersey Temperament test (http://www.kiersey.com) because you can learn if you like to think concretely or abstractly and how you use tools (including words). Then you decide which jobs fit your strengths. You might have to order his book to really get in to it, but it does not cost much.
