Nurses and Dream Specialty?

Any nurses working in their dream specialty? I know lots of nurses want to work acute care, mainly OB, neonatal ICU, Peds, ICU, and ER. For the nurses that are in their dream specialty, is it how you envisioned it would be?
Exactly. I have the best job in the world!

Pediatric intensive care. Yes, I love it, just like I thought I would.

I wanted to work in the PICU when I went into nursing school. When the time rolled around to start applying for jobs (last semester of nursing school), it just was not an option. I was already working as a tech in the ER, and a lot of other people were having difficulty finding jobs so I applied for their intership and was hired. When I was offered a position in PICU at a children's hospital, I was sooo excited to be working my "dream job". The excitement was short lived though, because as it turned out, I pretty much hated it.A lot of my nurse friends found their "dream job" wasn't as dreamy as they thought it would be. Thankfully there are many different areas in nursing to persue!

I have absolutely no desire to work acute care---never have. I love my hospice job and I'm sometimes amazed that they actually pay me to do this. I'd say it's my dream job.

CCU. Love it. So happy.

Yes and no. I want to do home health or public health, but right now, I'm working in med/ surg. However, I applied to only med/ surg jobs because I felt it would give me a good foundation for what I want to do outside of the hospital. I can't really say that there is another in-hospital area that I would want to work in, except maybe ER, but I'm not that strongly drawn to it.

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]No, I am not working in my dream specialty yet. I hope to be someday. I have applied for the OR since 2009, to no avail. I currently work in LTC. I do have an interview Monday for med-surg. If I get this job, I am hoping that this is my chance to make it to the OR. Hopefully, someday !!

ER. Can't believe they actually pay me to do this stuff.

I am in the OR, love it and it is my dream specialty. Got in after I graduated nursing school and I have no regrets.

I am on my way to the dream job!Because I worked as a tech in a ED I always thought I would never be happy anywhere else in nursing, possibly peds, but even then I wanted peds ED.Applied to all the internship programs didn't get in, sadly the hospital I worked for decided NO NEW GRAD!So long term care was where I went, dreaming of some place better.So in desperation to get out of the LTC area I started applying to anything I could in a large health system, 220 applications for various positions before I heard back and got an interview for their LTC medically fragile childrens unit!!I was hired into an oncall position, so I am still at my SNF/LTC, but so far I love it, I could see myself easly putting in 30 years, you can see the staff is there for the kids, I call it "My happy job" becasue for the most part everyone is so happy to be there, they are there because they want to be.If I am unable to secure a full time position, I am hoping to take this expereince and transition into acute care peds position at my areas children hospital and keep my oncall status there. I could also see myself working in the NICU
