What setting is best for a new nurse grad?

[vregino36]

Since I can remember I wanted to do peds. But the reason I'm asking is because my personality is very gentle and kind that's my best trait and I want to be in a setting where that would be used more often. Any thoughts?

Float nursing, if you can find a program that will hire new grads, is a great opportunity. Many of the Toronto area hospitals are putting their new grads through a float program. I declined a float position in the city and chose a rural hospital because it has many of the aspects of float (I do ER, peds, psyc, cardiac/tele, ortho, MS) without having to deal with the interpersonal issues involved with being thrown from unit to unit.
