Hieveryone. . . . I was wondering how many of you all are going straight to work in a hospital after you graduate or are some of you thinking about working for a doctor in private practice or a clinic instead?
I am torn between hospital and clinic for personal reasons and I could sure use some input from the rest of you. Thanks!!!!

Maybe doctor's office for me since that's what I'm used to. I like the fact that I get most holidays off and they're more flexible. But personally, I think you'll learn a lot more in a hospital IMHO.

I plan to work at a hospital after I finish nursing school. However, I do plan to work in an office in the future whenever I become a PA.

I'd love to work in the hospital, but then again i haven't even started a nursing program yet! I'm not to keen of the idea of working in a dr's office. From what i've observed, it seems to be a little boring here in my rural towns. Maybe experienced nurse's can give me pro's & cons about the clincs vs hospitals?

I'm going to work in a clinic, because I think it will be an easier environment for me personally to work in...not as dirty, easier on my body, holidays off, weekends off, more flexible.

My plan was to start in a hospital. I figured that it would be a good place to perfect my assessment and practice some of the basic skills. I figured I would give it at least a year, see how I like it and then possibly move on to another area of nursing.
