Which Clinical Site?

[smoup]

I am still a nursing student and I have my psych clinical this coming semester. I already have a BA is psych and really feel like this is where I am meant to be. That said, should I do my psych clinical as a psych facility where each unit is specialized or at a hospital where it's a general psych unit?

I am torn between the two as the psych facility is VERY well known and I would LOVE to work there one day. The hospital is affiliated with my school and I may be able to get a scholarship my last semester and it would help, I'm assuming, to have worked in the unit I'm applying to for my practicum. The scholarship is $5K, you do your practicum there and if everything works out you owe them 2 years of employment or have to pay back the $5k on a pro-rated basis.

Which would you choose?

Thanks!
