Thank you for the advice. Do you have a suggestion as far as which type of med surg to do? Does it matter if the floor is mostly all medical or all surgical?? Or a floor with telemetry?

Hello Everyone. I graduated in June and passed boards in October. (yay) I would eventually like to get into critical care or emergency nursing. Should I start of in med/surg or go ahead and jump into the critical care internship program? I hear so many different things that I am kind of confused on what to do. A lot of critical care internships only take new grads, so let's say I work med surg for a year then want to do critical care or ED, how does that work?? Will they just transfer me to the unit and train me there? If you think I should start with med/surg what kind? There are so many sub specialties of even med surg now days that I am not sure where to start. Cardiac, oncology, surgical, transplants, the list goes on. It is hard to find a general med/surg. So what do you all recommend???? Also is it true that if I am interested in Emergency nursing that I should do more of a medical floor?? So many rumors and opinions, please help! Angela
