Thanks for the advice everyone! It seems like nursing in general is so fluid and flexible that almost any path is viable.

Thanks for the advice! There are just so many avenues to get where you want to go, it's hard to know the best.

I have the opportunity to start in either an ER or a surgical/trauma floor. Ultimately I would like to be in an ICU, so I am curious what you all think is a better path? I can see the critical thinking and work under pressure being valuable, but the longer term care on a floor also has its benefits.

I'm a new grad and have the opportunity to train in either an ER or a surgical/trauma floor. Down the road I would like to transition to ICU. What are your thoughts? I see bonuses and drawbacks to both and would like some input from people who have made the change.
