Poll: What area would you like to work in when you graduate?

Published

I'm sure I'll decide once I start clinicals, but I'm thinking either OR or oncology. Or possibly becoming a lactation nurse or a school nurse. One of the perks of nursing: SO many choices! What about you??

Definately L&D or post-partum.

I've always wanted to work in L&D. But I know that may change once I work through my other clinical rotations.

When I graduate I want to work in L & D/Postpartum or the NICU.

I plan on working in L&D/postpartum. I intend on sitting for the IBCLC exam (lactation consultant) the summer after graduation. I've been a breastfeeding counselor for five years so I already have a lot invested in the decision.

Same here! I plan to sit the IBCLC board exam summer 2005. I also hope to take Jan Riordan's Lactation class next year, I'm trying to get my school to accept it as my nursing elective class. I've also taken a Childbirth Educator course, although I decided to pursue nursing school before I ever taught any classes.

I'll probably graduate from my BSN program 2006 if I stay on the track I have going right now. I plan on going to grad school ASAP for CNM-MSN. I really don't think I'll go into anything else, but maybe I'd be interested in OR.

Ok - thats 1 maybe for neuro and 0 for burns. I guess neither are very "top of the pole" but they are both well worthwhile.

What I am saying is - don't focus on the most popular like SICU or L&D look at some of the out- of - the - limelight specialties they too have an awful lot to offer.

Well, I'll come out of lurking to say that I am interested in burn nursing!

Critical Care - Cardiac

Cardiology is what brought me to nursing. I kept my options open, and I thought my mind would be swayed as I went through the clinical rotations. Nope.... it only strengthened my desire to work with cardiac patients... (and really took care of the "what-ifs" about the other possibilities!!!)

I start my internship in Cardiac ICU in 2 months and 6 days! Ya think I'm excited?? ;) :chuckle

Well baby nursery, NICU, postpartum, L&D, or pediatrics. Also, I'm interested in home health care doing well baby visits.
