Types of Nursing Career Specialties

I currently am on the waiting list for my local community college's ADN program. I am taking my pre-required classes in the meantime. Nursing is a second career for me, and I still don't know "exactly" what kind of nursing I want to do. I have been looking for a list like this for a long time. I hope it will help others out also.

This information is wonderful. I try to explain to my daughter and other young people that nursing is an awesome profession. However, they know that I work a medical/surgical unit and they respond that they don't think they could handle the "Blood & Guts" part of nursing. This list of the different types of nursing will be used by me to point out the many different types of nursing. Thank you for sharing your gathered information.

Take Care & God Bless, jkk

PS, Good luck with your schooling
