Where Do I Want to Work?

I have always thought that I wanted to work CCU and go onto be a CRNA - I am in my 3rd semester of school and we just had out psych clinical. I really enjoyed them and was able to make a big impression in a patient's life, although I'm not sure that I am emotionally "tough" enough to handle that everyday it was a great feeling. When and how did you decide where you wanted to start as a new grad?

I just graduated in May. I wanted either burns or oncology. Truth is I was only able to find one part time job in what I thought I wanted. As I interviewed, I learned about other areas by applying to jobs that specified "New Grads Welcome." I found something I hadn't considered and actually really like.

Only two people in my class got their dream specialty. I wouldn't say to take the first job offer, but to be open to other opportunities.

Best of luck to you.

From reading these threads, it seems working at the state level is dangerous - little security compared to a jail. What is your personal experience about the different types of psych? I appreciate your input! :)
