Nurse1999

I just have to say thank you for this post I am a new grad and starting on a med surg unit...most ppl on here are bullies behind a screen and this thank you is for the new grads that are told they have to start med surg even tho it may not be where we initially want to be but if we hang in there everything works out!

@Emergent I replied to something I felt was unnecessary for someone to say. As for your comment you do not know anything about me or my attitude. I posted this wanting to receive advice from other nurses or students just as other ppl have in the past, your comment it was truly unnecessary thank you!

@WuzzieBefore you assume anything I actually am a business owner and will never be unemployed. I pursued nursing as a new career path. I was seeking advice as to whether I should continue looking or go for the med surg position and see what happen. @Coffee Nurse thank you!

I graduate December 6th and applied for several positions on many different units including telemetry, ER, LDRP, ortho unit, surgical unit etc I applied to so many thinking I would have options I’ve had many med surg rotations in clinical and I just feel med surg is not for me and even tho I didn’t apply for the med surg unit my nurse recruiter called me and low and behold I had an offer from the med surg manager I am grateful for the opportunity but I do not wanna be unhappy with my job and hate going to work but this is the only offer I have and I’m pretty upset about it I know everybody says new nurses should start only in med surg but I would like to start in a position that will give me optimal happiness but other new grads in my class have been offered ER LDRP and telemetry jobs as new nurses and I just feel so down about my job search ... please send me any advice you can of even some success med surg stories of nurses that hated med surg and ended up loving it.
