What specialty are you considering?

Published

I feel like I learn of a new specialty every day-- I know some who's personal experiences draw them to a particular area of focus, but my top choices, I think are more related to my personality: Radiology, ICU, Med/Surg, and Cardiac all make the top of my list for their technical and critical demands.

Specializes in Forensic Psych.
Yeah, I thought we were trained to be generalists so I didn't realize that you specialize by just choosing jobs in the field you want. That simple, huh? :w00t:

Thanks!

Yep! It's one of the beauties of nursing. If you don't like your speciality or you're feeling burnt out or bored,, move on to the next :)

Specializes in General Surgery.

I'll be happy to get A job after graduating this December but I would LOVE to work in the ED. Then I would love to become a flight nurse! That will be the pinnacle of my career :) Can you imagine the skill set/critical thinking skills of a flight nurse? Wowzers, I tip my hat to them. Definitely caught the EMS bug when I took an EMT class before nursing school.

Not surprised by the # of folks interested in L&D, pedi/NICU. However, happily surprised to see many others interested in working w/ the elderly!

Geriatrics calls to me, although I would also love to specialize in infectious disease. I would like to have an opportunity to work in the ER as an RN (just starting school) and we'll see if that changes my mind.

I want to work in labor and delivery or surgery. I have been fascinated with surgery every since I had my first c-section done. I know that may sound weird, but I want really get a good look at the real human anatomy. I wanted to work in labor and delivery since I was 15. I got to see my older sister give birth. I wanted to be part of bringing new life to the world.

Any floor that will hire me....lol. I'd like to work on a post-partum floor, ICU, or LTC/rehab/skilled nursing. Yes, I'm one of the few that wouldn't mind working ltc. I'd gladly take a job at one.

I aspire to work in emergency medicine and possibly become a flight nurse! Or at least that is what I think I want to do but I have not started nursing school so it is hard to say until I get my feet wet in various aspects of the field.

I would like to do bedside in med/surg for the first couple years for the experience and to hone my skills.

After that, I would love to go to ICU or OR

I will go wherever is hiring new grads when I get there. Ultimately, I want to end up in Developmental Disabilities. My heart is there and I believe a lot of things that have happened to lead me down this path are also leading my down the path to that specialty :)
