I may be a naive New Grad, but I think that not all New Grads are built the same. Many have extensive Management and quality control experience. Some have hospital experience in another format that has showed them much of the continuum. I think with proper training and mentorship, many different areas of Nursing can be "starter" areas. Some Nurses probably need the research and knowledge that UR can bring before they could become good nurses on the floor. The Vice versa is true for many other Nurses. Advice is just that, and if you get the opportunity somewhere, embrace it and be the best you can be.
