new grad advice
Hello everyone and happy nurses week! I am needing advice concerning picking a specialty. I applied to residencies and I got an offer from a Level 2 NICU and a Level 2 ED. Background: when I entered nursing school, ED was the dream but everyone said I would change my mind so I kept my mind open. I had some clinicals at a NICU which I loved, and I also loved my ED rotation so I applied for both at the same time once residencies opened. I got the NICU offer within a week and started to get excited for it as I know how special NICU nursing is and how important that work is. A month later I got the ED offer. I had put the ED in the back of my mind and really fell in love with the NICU. Now, I am torn as truly LOVE both specialties and don’t know what to pick. I am open to any opinions, recommendations, pros/cons that you all may have….THANK YOU!
