Is there a test to determine which area of nursing you are best for?

[Cola89]

Hi! I'm just wondering if anybody knows of a test that helps nurses ascertain which areas of nursing they are best suited for? I have a couple years of experience in Med Surg and LTC behind me. I don't know if either one is right for me in the long run, these are the areas where I have been able to obtain employment. Don't know what to plan toward/ where to go from here! I appreciate any help

Checked out the chart. I've never heard the term woo-woos. Wth?

I think most of us got CNM.

I would never want to do that.

I don't put any stock in that test.

I don't put any stock in that test.

Kind of reminded me of the 'tests' in COSMO. Hahahahahaha!

It told me Clinical Nurse Specialist or Critical Care nurse. I do love critical care, and I'm in NP school.

That's not for me at all.

Substance abuse / Psych nurse for me --- I really just said "I think I belong on psych" the other day! Thanks ICUMan... I might try psych next bc I have a feeling MedSurg won't last long with me:/

I'm a psych nurse and it told me CNM... it seems to really like telling people to become midwives. Did the ACNM make this test?

​I am in the same shoes as you. Don't have any experience in pediatrics. I took operating room and respiratory care along wIth nursing.
