Do you mean the field of nursing, or a specialty field within nursing?

I would do Home health again if they keep the working conditions acceptable.

Would I go into nursing knowing what I know now about myself and the field in general. No. I am at a point in my life where I realize other careers would have been a better match for me. And nursing today is NOT what it was 27 yrs ago when I started. As it is now, I don't care to start over in a career in my 6th decade of life so I hang in there. Work part time to maintain sanity.

Would I do critical care nursing again as my specialty? Absolutely...its been the sanest option for me. Night shift part time ICU has kept me in nursing.

Yes I would. If not for maternal child health, I would never have even gone into nursing.

Specializes in Med-Surg.

Yes. Started out in med-surg and am still there, although leaning towards more progressive and critical care now.

I had no experience in the medical field when I started nursing school, so going into med-surg was the best place for me to get my skills. Now I'm certified med-surg nurse and still learning everyday.

I would absoloutly go into level III NICU again. ... just wouldn't have started in Az. Instead gone straight to Sacramento where CNA union insures that Pt. ratio's are always safe.
