Martin’s Answer

Focus on the generalities of nursing first so you have a good foundation in which to explore other specialty areas. Usually working on a med/surg floor after graduation will help you focus on areas you enjoy, gain greater expertise in, and offer many variety.

Jo Ann’s Answer

Hi Jazmine,

I would suggest you start by working on a MedSurg unit for about 2 years. This will give you a great deal of clinical experience, and strengthen your theoretical and practical skills. You will also be exposed to a large variety of health conditions, and will give you a better idea of which areas you are drawn to.

Jo Ann recommends the following next steps:

Continue your education. Get as much time in the lab as you can, and practice your practical skills.
