- Best nursing specialty is the one you feel will help you the most. However, it's important to understand the different types of specialties that will reflect your goals and ambitions. In this video I try to break down the most common specialties and help you make a decision.

I started school this Fall and took a job as a PCT in float pool. This video couldn't have come at better timing. On one hand, I like seeing all of the different units among the three hospitals I'm at. The downside is I don't feel I can get into the swing of a unit until I'm there for 3 shifts or more, which affects my confidence and stress. Since I'm not working full-time, I wonder if I would be better off in a specialty. I feel a pull towards L&D (which we don't float to) but wondered if I would be missing out on the other 18 units by the time I graduate in 11 months. Most of the time I get put on a med-surg neuro floor which has helped me work on time management but when in the ICU and ED, got to see and learn so many things.
As you go through each specialty, pay attention to the vibe of the other nurses too. And understanding your own personality at the same time. It can kinda help make a better choice. The problem is you don’t get quite enough exposure to the specialties in nursing school.
I trust you
What about Cath Lab? Being in OR or Cath Lab could be great for someone who wants to go into medical device sales. Thoughts?
I am in my early 60's and am wanting to change careers. I have been working in finance/accounting since I returned to the workforce after my youngest child became schoolage. I returned to college in my 30's and already have a BA in Business Admin. I have one prerequiste class to take prior being able to apply for ASN nursing program in Mar 2024, so by the time I graduate, I would be in my mid 60's. (I can't enter an accelerated BSN because some of my prereq courses are outside the limit for acceptance and I would have to retake them.) I am in great health and physical shape (often mistaken for being in my 40s), single, and really looking for a career that provides me with a sense of purpose and is active and challenging intellectually. I would love to hear feedback from anyone with experience as to what may be a good fit for someone in my position.
Get ready to deal with tons of age discrimination in hiring. If you decide to work in a hospital get ready for a rude awakening in how horrible it will suck.
I start my new hemodialysis clinic job this week. I graduated 6 months ago. Med surge just wasn’t for me
I’m doing pre reqs and I’m almost done, entering the program this July. I have labor and delivery in mind but I’m not opposed to other things because i love dealing with empowering women and am a mom already. I also love putting puzzle pieces together and using skills to figure something out.
It wouldn’t be easier to spend time with your kids after school during weekdays and weekends in L&D for a long time until you switch to another specialty because you’ll have to work for night shifts as well as weekends often.

What about endoscopic nursing?
I’ve worked Med Surg/Tele, PCU, ICU for a short time and now I’m doing home health for about 4 months for family reasons. Nursing 11 years thinking about ER to get back my 3 12s minus the same old in patient stuff. Trying to pick a direction. I guess I don’t know what I wanna be when I grow up 🙃
So I am 50 y/o and just fulfilled my dream of graduating from nursing school and now pursuing this second career. ( been a Pharm Tech for 20 yrs)
Curious as to what you think might be a good fit for me….
Only you will know that.
Are there any nursing specialties that are less physically demanding? I'm thinking of becoming a nurse but I already have severe back problems.
Working in a clinic/doctors office would be ideal for you

I've wasted most of my nursing career in LTC. I wish I would have experienced other specialties.
