Go for the cardiac telemetry unit. I started out on a cardiac floor straight out of school and my friend started on a med-surg floor. I have been on the unit for 2 yrs now and my skill level, time management and total overall nursing skill and knowledge is greater than my friend because we get sicker patients than she does on a med-surg floor. My opinion on a med-surg floor is if you want to take care of sick, dying nursing home patients go to a med-surg floor. Cardiac is great though! Good luck in whatever you decide. :) :)

I have been on a cardiac telemetry unit for 2 yrs now, straight out of school and I bought a Lithman Cardiology III. I love it, I can hear so much better than when I had my lightweight one in school. Also you can hear better with soft earpeices and short tubing. Make sure you engrave your name in it b/c people will steal it!
