what nursing field should i go into?

im a new grad and recently just passed the nclex. and to all those who will be taking, good luck! i swear the PVT works.

anyways.. i will soon be looking for a nursing job but im still so confused as to what field i should go into. i definitely have no plans of going into OR, pediatrics, and labor&delivery. i want something that doesnt deal too much with patients and family members because i just cant stand angry parents/spouses etc demanding so much even after giving an explanation about a difficult situation. i heard many new grads try med surg but ive also heard its not the most appealing field for new grads since they end up hating nursing because of it.

i would be so grateful to anyone who can enlighten me with my current dilemma.
Have you thought about hospice? In hospice, I noticed the nurse gets appreciated a lot more. If you think about it, dying people dont complain, and as long as you are keeping them comfortable and keeping the family informed, you are so greatly appreciated! It may sound morbid, and you have to have a passion, but I loved the clinical experience, and you dont have to deal with all the extra drama. Just take care of the patient, and things go smoothly. I hope you think about it.

Sorry, I guess I did word that a little too easy, but I did feel when I was in hospice care for clinicals and also when my grandpa was in hospice I appreciated the nurses and felt the appreciation also.

Take the job that is offered to you and work hard at it. You will have a better time choosing a specialty in the future if you put good effort into the jobs you take.

Moved to the general nursing discussion forumI think in the current job situation it may be worth just getting a job and gaining experience. Once you have your foot in the door then you can decide where to go. Many move around to different jobs until they find their niche

i got a job in a nursing home and it's not really what im looking for but its so hard to find a job these days. im thinking ICU or ER but everyone keeps looking for experience. it can get really frustrating.

The current job hunting rules are apply to anything and everything, because the job market is terrible. Once you get a position you'll start getting a feel for what you are interested in. After 6 months of searching for a job as a new grad I got a job in TCU. My plan has been get my year of experience and go back to the cardiology floor that I worked as an aide. The TCU I'm working at does a lot of hospice... Which I am finding that I really like. So once my year is up I might end up in a place totally different than I planned.

You are a new grad, yet don't wan't to deal with patients and families?That is your job description. As far as hospice, I cannot think of another area that could require more expertise in dealing with people.Homecare perhaps, the interaction is fairly minimal, driving and paperwork would be the main focus.
