all nurses respond

[nsgst05]

Hi...I'm in nursing school and I was wondering if you ever really know where you want to work before you graduate. I was working in NICU the other day and I honestly felt that this is where I need to be. Is this feeling usually right?

Thanks for your response NurseMike. How about an uncritical department? Like the nursery?

In our state LPNs have quite a few restrictions in their practice. No IV pushes, no central lines, etc. So it does put them at a disadvantage with the higher acuity areas. The well baby nursery may be an option for you. Don't forget there are the children hospitals also, you can definitely get you fill of babies/children there.
