Where is your heart at?

Published

I graduating in December (big smile as I type that:yeah:). I am told that I should work 2 years on the floor of the Med/Surg unit to get a varitey of experience before I move on to a specialty. I was wondering where did you find your passion...if you have found it yet...and how can I find mine? I have enjoyed nearly all of my clinical rotations, I really think I could be happy wherever I land. But I want to love what I do...any suggestions?

Specializes in Cardiac.

If you don't know what you would like, you'll come across what you DON'T like. Med/Surg is a great place to start. You'll see a little of everything and if you decide you don't like it then you can move on. If you know you like Peds, of course getting into some type of Peds will surely help.

There is also the issue of being too specialized, which is the problem I am running into. I do Cardiac stepdown and although its mostly Cardiac, I see alot of things too. But people pin you down into a "cardiac nurse."

So what I'm trying to say is if you start out doing Cardiac and hate it. It might be hard to find a job then in say OB.Hope this helps.
