What are the most desirable nursing specialities, and why?

Just curious. Which departments seem to be the happiest? I gather med-surg would not be one of them.;)

Thanks,

The happiest department is the one that has you looking forward to the day's adventure, and gives you pride for a day's work well done at night. I always thought L & D was "happy" compared to ICU, but it left me miserable. I'm 10 times happier working with critically ill adults. Go figure. Some find med-surg a calling, some prefer peds, it's just a matter of finding the niche that suits your personality.

I agree. I love oncology and hospice. I feel this is my calling. This is where I am happiest.
