:nurse:Just curious as to see what are people favorite specailty area is on this board.I personally love geriatrics and correctional nursing. Geriatric is my number one because it seem that SOME people forget about them when it comes to nursing, as MOST-not all, are interested in acute care nursing. Also, I like correctional nursing becasue I have seen some health care professinals treat people in jail/prison wrong because they are in jail/prison, which is unfair in my eyes. Just looking to hear you guys favorite specialty and why?

Mrs. SnowStormRN, RN 557 Posts Specializes in Mental Health, Medical Research, Periop. Aug 24, 2011 Psych. SIKE!!! no jk, really- I love Psych. I think it's fascinating because the mind is so complex. It saddens me that mental disorders may not be easily recognized and often are dismissed because of it. I love to practice the medical and non-medical approaches taken in this field. I hope to see advancement in the future for mental diseases, especially schizophrenia.
