I vote cardiac- you will gain a lot of valuable knowledge on how BP affects the regulatory systems like renal, etc. I know in nursing school a lot of my co-students struggled with those units, which are huge important units, but I didn't only because two of clinical semesters I lucked out and was on a renal/cardiac unit.
Also, EKG strips suck to read- I still struggle with them even after those experiences- so get a jump on it early!

HI everyone. I really would like your honest input in the matter. I have been accepted to several patient care tech positions in 2 hospitals and I was wondering which floor will give me the most exposure to the field (unfortunately, none in the med-surg area). My choices are ER, Ortho, L&D and Cardio. I am still hoping to get med-surg but I need to tell them by Tuesday, the latest. Thanks.
