Ok I post this periodically because its fun to see how people change their minds throughout school. I know I've changed my mind 3 or 4 times so far, and I have 2 semesters left to go.
So.... where do you plan to work after graduation? What is your dream?
I think last time I posted this as a poll, and I left out a bunch of specialties, so I won't try it again.
Any ideas, anyone?
Like everyone else, I keep changing my mind. I have a friend who went into NICU, and she loooooves it, and recommneded it for me. That's been my interest for a while, but...
Since my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer last year, I've gotten to see what a great team Oncology can be. Now, I'm leaning a bit that way.
It'd be heartbreaking, but... Pediatric oncology?

Hi, I am leaning towards the PEDS or OB side. I want to do Peds or OB in the hospital for a few years then I want to go out into public/community health and do peds or OB out in that area. Then I would like to go to graduate school to become either a Pediatric nurse practitioner, Family nurse practitioner or nurse mid-wife. I am leaning more towards the first 2 though because as a single mom it will be a little hard for me to be on-call during the night and just come at the spur of the moment. So I am definitely thinking more of the pediatric nurse practitioner of family nurse practitioner.
I am keeping my options though. I have my last 3 rotations coming up this semester 1)Med-surg, 2)ICU, 3)Pysch. So you never know what may happen. Make sure you keep all your options open and don't enter a rotation totally close minded.
Don't you sometimes feel like you're back in high school and wondering what you're going to do when you grow up? lol I wish I had some REAL idea what I wanted to go into..... I can't wait until clinical rotation. I bet it is so awesome! It's so neat to see the enthusiam everyone has for different fields and their reasoning. Wow, ya'll are wonderful!!!

Still ER for me! I've been thinking that I might want to get telemetry experience first. My heart wants the ER but my mind says get the experience first........so I am not sure exactly what I will do but eventually I will be in the ER either way!!
