Anonymous asked: hey, this is the anon who messaged you about being in mental health nursing right now! i'm actually in the 2nd year of my 3-year program, so i still have a bit more than halfway to go. how about you? so far i've been on a medical and surgical unit, and i also had a bit of exposure to community nursing as part of my alternate experience this term. it was just a 1-day experience but i really enjoyed it. so far i'm interested in cardiology, peds, ER, or community. have you worked in cardiac before?

i’m at my third year of a four year program, so just about ¾ of the way there :D i’m doing my medicine rotation as of now and i really love it tbh! surgery was waaaay to intense for me, though in all fairness that was last term where i didn’t have any experience at the acute setting whatsoever. i’ve also done some community nursing for geriatrics and maternity for the most part of second year, and next year i go to palliative and mental health! peds is really good if you’re willing to tough it out emotionally. it’s always difficult caring for children who are sick; had to go through like an hour of that for restoration where my patient was a 12 year old kid who just had his third spinal surgery in the last five or so years–it was tough. good for you to want to be in ER! not everybody’s cut out for high stress situations (i know i’m not) so if you are awesome sauce! in the hospital i’m doing my medicine rotation on, we have some cardiac patients sprinkled here and there, and i haven’t taken care of them yet, so i’m hoping i get to soon enough. there’s a lot of telemetry for cardiac tho, so both of us have to polish our ecg reading skills for sure.
