What specialties have you worked in,What did you like/dislike about it?What area do you see yourself going into?

I  worked on a med surg/oncology/dialysis floor for 3 years. I liked working with the oncology patients, but it was often heart breaking watching them deteriorate and then eventually losing them. Med Surg is a very hard floor to work on and very stressful. I never really liked working on the floor.

I now work in the OR and I am really liking it. Only been there 6 weeks now and still lots to learn. It is stressful too, but in a different kind of way. Not much personal contact with the patient, b/c they are sleeping most of the time I spend with them. I have to watch out and make sure the patient is taken care of while they sleep and keep them safe.

Let's see.....LTC as a CNA for almost 2 years......Med/Surg as LPN for 6 months....Peds for 14 years give or take and LPN and RN with a 10 month "vacation" from peds in PACU for a plastic surgeon. I love the peds and hated the PACU.
