Thanks...the local market, the need is growing and the local hospitals are posting adds for positions. I found a hospital that is level 1 trauma so going to call them to schedule and interview. If they have a good ER they must have a better ICU. Win win I think.

If it's by how I think, it's in a way both. As the ones that are already rescued need the post care more, but also the ones that didn't get rescued will go to get emergency care. I see that post care can be more needed for when the disaster passes. Thanks "Been there, done that" and "triddin" and"newgradnurse17" I have not yet receive any offers yet. I'm in Florida so the hut for the specialty for me has just began.

Thanks I didn't thought of that part of the relief time response.

I just pass my NCLEX Rn and and recently started looking for specialty. I'm confuse between the icu, ed as both are great but which one is going to give me more experience for when I go do disaster relief. Any suggestions and comments much appreciated.

i liked the CNS and what they do but also i saw some of the restrictions they have in comparison with the NP. since there is a move to make the NP from a MSN to DNP. i thought it will better to get ahead of the new regulations. my goal is to be a nurse practitioner specialized in infectious diseases/tropical medicine and if possible some sort of public health degree.

if i get a CNS and then a DNP in nurse practitioner is that possible or am i thinking it wrong. any suggestions would be helpful.
