Choosing first nursing post

Rating:
(votes: 4)


Ok so, I will be finishing nursing school this summer and have my final clinical placement coming up in a few weeks on a cardiac high dependency unit. I love cardiac and acute care, and I already know that this is the career path I would like to go down. I will be applying for jobs in the next couple of weeks and would love to get a job in this area (Ive have been especially looking for cardiac rotation programmes), however many people have said that as a newly qualified nurse the most important thing to look for in applying for 1st jobs is that you get the basic skills and experiences as a newly qualified regardless of the speciality.

I would definitely love to get my first post on a cardiac ward/unit; which is what i have been looking for, but i am wondering now whether i should apply for a job in any speciality (so i do not limit my opportunities) so that i can get my basic post registration skills and experiences.

what are your views? Should look for general nursing posts to gain experience as a qualified nurse or specifically look for cardiac units/wards?
All views welcomed =]

P.S. Did i already mention that I LOVVEEE cardiac nursing? looool
apply to any position that accepts new grads. obviously keep a close eye out for cardiac positions - but dont limit yourself.
