Pick my "poison"

[ThePrincessBride]

So I will be interviewing for three adult, step-down units: Cardiac, Neuro and Medical. Granted, these are not my top choices and I doubt I will get offers for all three, but I am a new grad, so any offer would be fantastic.

I don't know how to do a poll, but which of the three would you prefer to work in? Which is most suitable for a new grad? Do you think a step-down unit is an inappropriate place for a new grad?

I am leaning towards cardiac because I find the heart to be fascinating, plus telemetry experience is a positive (though all step-down units would have them, right?) For those who have worked in any of these settings, what did you like/dislike about them?

I agree with Libby, while medical can make you more well rounded I think it would be better to pick a specialty because then you'll have your own "specialty" and then you'll learn the other medical stuff along the way. I personally would pick cardio, I love it! Then you'll get the tele experience which is awesome and then you'll most likely have other medical related problems that factor in so I think you'll get the most out of your first job. I'm fairly partial to cardio and I despise neuro , but it all depends on what you're interested in as well.

Good luck, keep us updated!
