When should you choose your specialty?

[sunshineintheforest]

I have about a year and a half until I graduate. I am having a hard time deciding what to focus on. Eventually I would like to be some sort of NP but I can't decide what specialty. Is this something I need to know right now or is it something you wait to decide until you have been in the field a while. I am afraid if I start working without a goal I will get stuck in an area I'm not happy in or not get the right experience to get into a NP specialty program I decided I like, too late.

I am just full of questions today:)

Typically your specialty chooses you...

I can see that. So should I be most on the look out? lol

I am going to finish all my clinical rotations before I choose a specialty. That way you know what is going on and you will have a list of likes and dislikes.
