I'm graduating from nursing school in August. The two clinicals that really piqued my interest were psych and peds, and I feel I have a natural knack for psych, and have been told by many credible people I'd make a great psych nurse. Most nurses are telling me to do two years of MedSurge before going into psych; however, some nurses; more specifically, psych nurses are telling me it doesn't matter that much and that they have no regrets starting out in psych. That said, beyond psych and peds, I do have an interest in pretty much all fields (even OB and nursery), and am wondering how much I might be hindering my career as a nurse by going directly into psych. At the local hospital, I can apply to any unit and get a new grad job, so my opportunities are abundant. I think the one thing seemingly solidifying going into psych too is none of the psych places require a two year contract, whereas all the non-psych units usu. require two years. Thoughts? Thanks : )
