just curious what field of nursing we all hope to work in one day? or what field we are interested to start out in?

for myself someday i think i would like to work in labor&delivery, but first i want to start out in med-surg. i want some experience and a chance to work on the skills i learn before thinking of l&d.

Specializes in Cardiology.

I'd like to work in cardiology. My son has two conditions, so cardiology just seems like the right fit.

I'm guessing I'll figure it out sometime along the way (don't want to close my mind to any options). :)

As an LPN, I realize that my choices are more limited than I'd like, but here are my areas of interest.

L&D

OR

ER

maybe even teaching

I don't think I could do PICU or NICU, but maybe ICU? I guess we'll see! :)

I hope to work in the NICU. There are several hospitals in my area that have NICU internships for new grads.

I currently work as a nurse extern in Postpartum. While I enjoy the new mothers and their babies, I want to work in a higher acuity setting.

Of course, I have only completed one semester of nursing school, so I may change my mind in the next year and a half.

I hope to work in the OR when I graduate. I kinda prefer the patients that are sleeping. EEK!!

CRNA all the way.... :)

That is my long term goal and I'm sticking to it!

ED or ICU to start. I work as a tech in an ICU now and love it.

Perhaps Burns, Oncology, or maybe a Level 1 Trauma center down the road.

It's early yet but I'd like to get into burn nursing. I'll be shadowing a nurse sometime this summer in the level 1 trauma unit--burn unit to see what it's like.
