Hello all,

I am having trouble with my decision of where I should go after I graduate. I have received mixed advice over the last year. Some tell me to go into med-surg so I get my skills experience and some say to follow your heart and choose an area of interest. I know for certain that med-surg was NOT an area of interest but I have never truly loved any one rotation completely and so I am just trying to match my personality and strengths to an area.

I do know that I enjoy acute care, a variety of situations, I am a take it as it goes person who doesn't fair well with emense structure. I shadowed in emerg and enjoyed it, however the advice I was given is to get a few years on a floor first. I am not sure what other area are similar in care/structure as ER as my time as a student has been limited to general wards, so I aprecaite any input/advice. thx.
