I thought a visual would be nice for us once folks have placed their preference vote.

Also, I have placed a similar poll in our Male Nursing Forum. That poll can be viewed here:

Good comparison threads when viewed together.

My dream is to be a full time surgical/trauma ICU and part time nursing clinical instructor. I would also eventually like to work in burn ICU, oncology (part time), cardiovascular ICU, and the ED (part time). My main interest is surgical/trauma ICU, and I really want to work in ICU the most out of all the things I listed.

I would love to be a Flight Nurse however it is a long road to get there. Even though I really enjoy he ED I will be trying for an ICU Job out of school. That experience is usually considered better for flight as well as leaves the opportunity open to go into a CRNA/ACNP program.

I work as a Monitor Tech on a cardiology floor right now and it really is an amazing field. There is so much to learn and everything is exciting. I have been doing it for 8 months now and still have at least one person a shift with a "huh?" Rhythm that I have search through books to figure out.

Yeah, where is anesthesia? A long term goal for me.
