Where to start when you don't have experience.

Published

Hello, I was wondering if any of you can give me your honest opinion on where to start if you don't have experience as a nurse. I love ICU but some friends have told me to start like in telemetry or med surg to get some experience and some other friends have told me to follow my heart. There are a few spots at a med surg residency program and I want to apply but I want to hear some of your opinions first. Also I am interested in juvenile services and OB/GYN. Thank You very much for your answers.

I've been trying to get into med/surg but even getting to the floor is a major challenge for new grads in my area.

I started out in oncology. Very glad I did even though I've had a huge learning curve in many ways.
