I am interested in a few different specialties of nursing. One specialty I am interested in is emergency medicine and the emergency room. I am interested in being a nurse n the emergency room because I love the idea of never knowing what is going to walk in the door. I am someone who gets bored easily so for me this seems like a good fit because I will always be kept on my toes. I also get very intrigued by blood and the gory wounds which is another reason I am interested in the emergency room. Another specialty of nursing I am interested in is mental health. I am interested in this specialty because mental health is something that affects many people and not everyone receives help and I want to help those who struggle. I am also interested in mental health because there is not a lot of information out there about mental illness and I am very intrigued by the subject and want to learn more. When I hear evidence based practice I think of it as a practice based on scientific evidence. I assume this by the name itself and also what I have learned about it in the past. I will apply what I learn in this course to my skills as a nurse because it will help me make choices that are appropriate for the situation at hand
Lindsay, it’s good that you are keeping your options open and considering different specialties. I would say emergency and mental health nursing are a good combination! The skills you gain in EBP will help you answer those “why” questions in clinicals as well as working those case studies in your other courses.
