Lacey answers one of her most commonly asked questions from nursing students and new nurses - “What specialty should I go into?” Oftentimes, we want others to make this decision for us, or the best decision to fall into our lap but it’s so important to take time to consider your options and evaluate what you want your life to look like when deciding on a type of nursing career. The good news is you’re never stuck. 

Lacey tackles everything you need to know including: 

  • Evaluating your skills, strengths and weaknesses
  • The importance of having joy for your specialty
  • Thinking about the feeling you want to have when arrive and leave work
  • Determining your goals within the profession
  • Goals and visions within your personal life
  • Why many people think they want to go into a high acuity setting (and why it can be detrimental to the profession)
  • And more!

Doing the personal work and understanding your WHY is going to help you make the best decision for YOU when it comes to choosing a specialty which will ultimately make you better at what you do.
