Hi nurses! Just curious. As new graduates, we are offered EITHER:- Two x six month rotations in different fields- One x twelve month rotation in one fieldI have heard a few students say that after 6 months, you start feeling confident and get the hang of it and then have to go to a new environment and start all over... but then Im thinking, experience in two areas is good?What do you guys think?

~Mi Vida Loca~RN, ASN, RN 5,259 Posts Specializes in Emergency Dept. Trauma. Pediatrics. Has 6 years experience. May 28, 2011 I would go with 2. I like change though. The position I am just interviewed for will be primarily in one area, but they do sometimes get floated to 5 other areas, not often, so you get cross trained. I would really like that rather then ONLY the one area forever. Some people hate change, I don't mind it at all. For my Sr. Practicum I did float and I actually enjoyed it. I enjoyed the change and if you didn't like where you were there was a good chance you would be somewhere else with different patients the next shift. It had it's downfalls too though.
