With all of the opportunity and diversity in the nursing profession today, it's important to get an early start on thinking about which path you want to chose when you reach that long-awaited title "Nurse". I know I have found my calling in Nursing, but I have to admit that I have not yet found discovered where I want to focus my attention and really begin to develop my skill.
I have been to countless job fairs, received all of the literature, and have poured over it for hours. Even though this hasn't yet given me that "AHA!" moment, I would strongly encourage everyone to take the chance to get out there and really see what is being offered by employers all over this country, as well as in the US.
Practicum experiences are so valuable in providing the exposure to the actual environment, but to me, it is like a process of elimination. With my current job, I receive diverse assignments, giving me exposure to areas in the community and in the hospital, yet I feel there is still so much out there to learn and to explore!
I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the choices and the decisions, but not for a second do I regret entering the wonderful field of nursing!
