What area of nursing to go into

[Csunkis]

Hey guys

I'm still deciding what area of nursing I would like to go into and I thought the best way to help with the decision would be to ask you guys that have worked in the different areas. I was hoping that you guys could tell me about your experience in working in the different units...and which unit you liked best or worst and just tell me about the whole experience. Thanks so much!

Csunkis,

Welcome! I see from your profile that you are in high school and it is wonderful that you are considering nursing as a career goal. :balloons: The good news is that you don't really have to decide anything right now. In fact, I'd encourage you NOT to decide what area of nursing that you want to specialize in because it is hard to make those decisions until you have a chance to try them out.

You can find some nurses who absolutely love and some nurses who absolutely hate every nursing specialty. I remember HATING my ob/gyn rotation....couldn't get out of there fast enough, but guess where my RN daughter practices??? Yep...OB/GYN and she loves it! I've spent a big chunk of time in hospice and she can't image that. So try to go in with a open mind and see what moves you.

Good luck!
