What field or specialty of nursing?

[nursecompassion]

just curious what field of nursing we all hope to work in one day? or what field we are interested to start out in?

for myself someday i think i would like to work in labor&delivery, but first i want to start out in med-surg. i want some experience and a chance to work on the skills i learn before thinking of l&d.

ok, i'm interested in all these:

labor and delivery

childbirth education

lactation cunsultant

ER

peds

nicu

picu

school nursing

icu

nurse educator (would need an advanced degree)

ummmmm, i really lean towards teaching...so that might be a direction I go in.

we'll see what happens!

I have always wanted to work in L&D

[All_Smiles_RN]

I'd like to work in cardiology. My son has two conditions, so cardiology just seems like the right fit.

[manna, BSN, RN]

I'm guessing I'll figure it out sometime along the way (don't want to close my mind to any options). :)

[lisamc1RN, LPN]

As an LPN, I realize that my choices are more limited than I'd like, but here are my areas of interest.

L&D

OR

ER

maybe even teaching

I don't think I could do PICU or NICU, but maybe ICU? I guess we'll see! :)

I'd like to get my foot in the door as a nurse on the med/surg floor (preferably a monitored telemetry unit) then move on to CCU/ICU or possibly ER but like everyone else says, ya have to keep your mind open:uhoh21: so many choices!!!

:p :p :p :p long term care/geriatrics or surgery:p :p :p

or labor delivery here

[LauraLou]

I hope to work in the NICU. There are several hospitals in my area that have NICU internships for new grads.

I currently work as a nurse extern in Postpartum. While I enjoy the new mothers and their babies, I want to work in a higher acuity setting.

Of course, I have only completed one semester of nursing school, so I may change my mind in the next year and a half.

I hope to work in the OR when I graduate. I kinda prefer the patients that are sleeping. EEK!!

[Alexandres]

CRNA all the way.... :)

That is my long term goal and I'm sticking to it!

ED or ICU to start. I work as a tech in an ICU now and love it.

Perhaps Burns, Oncology, or maybe a Level 1 Trauma center down the road.

[suzy253, RN]

It's early yet but I'd like to get into burn nursing. I'll be shadowing a nurse sometime this summer in the level 1 trauma unit--burn unit to see what it's like.
