Where do you want to work?

With all the hoopla of new nurses not getting hired for lack of experience. I'd be satisfied with wherever I can gain experience and a paycheck. Lol!

Lol good answer! I'll take whatever I can get, but my ultimate goal is to work at one of those hospitals at some point during my career :)

Rush Copley hospital - Always voted one of the best hospital groups in Chicago area and 3 minutes from my house!

Johns Hopkins (or any of the hospitals in their network) would be my first choice...followed by Hosp of the Univ of PA or Children's Hosp of Phila., then Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic I'm starting my ABSN at Johns Hopkins this Fall, so hopefully I can clinch a job upon graduation!..but as someone said above...any job would be great! Lol

I would love to work as a traveling nurse dealing with high risk pregnant patients on bed rest. Taking care of mothers who need one on one care is a BIG dream for me. :)

That's awesome! Hopefully that'll act as a foot in the door :)

You could totally do it :) Traveling nurse has always been intriguing to me. I'd love to travel internationally and work that way. A lot of countries need great medical care.

Score! You'd definitely have your hands full in Chicago.

I want to be a Diabetes Educator at the University of Oklahoma's Pediatric Diabetes and Endocrinology Clinic.

That sounds awesome! Good for you for wanting to teach :)

I don't know about the mass. hospitals you mentioned, but I know John's Hopkins pays nurses a lot less that other hospitals in the baltimore metro area. My aunt, whose a NICU nurse I believe said that, and I also feel like I've read it here recently.

In that same tune though, I'd be happy to work in any major research hospital just for the sake of seeing some really amazing procedures (after I put in my time in in whatever area I get hired in, I'd really love to be an scrub nurse.) in the OR. One can dream, right?

Certified Diabetes educator working in a public health clinic... Educating those who get the least education but are at the highest risk. As for right out of school? I'd like to hit the ground running and work at the tribal health center in my county because of the rising rates of Type 2 diabetes among Native Americans coupled with their barriers to care. I just want to save feet, kidneys, and eyes... That's my dream.
