Ok I know everyone asks this periodically, but nobody has for awhile, and I know the student nurses in my group keep changing their minds! Its interesting how many people want to go into ER and trauma these days (I wonder if the media has anything to do with that?).
I'd like to see the responses to this!

Ok, I know there are more fields to nursing than this, but I could only choose 10.
Its multiple choice... if you need to choose more than one.

The choise was between ER and psych for me (!)! In the end psych won. I still love emergency care but can´t stand all the stress... Besides when I did my rotation at the ER I was pretty disappointed, felt that the RN´s competence was not fully used. So, I don´t know if I´m going to be at psych forever, but I will begin my career there...
I like the different activity that goes on in the ER. Our ER hosp does not have a trauma dept, so it does not receive critically injured or ill patients.
I worked as a phlebotomist in that hospital about 10 years ago and so far I haven't changed my mind.
