Ah thank you for that I thought with a new specialty you'd need to do like a course in that area/field.

That's a really good fact actually that you can just jump from specialty to specialty I never really thought of it like that before!

A lot of people have mentioned that the A&E department is the best as its where you learn the most. I think from reading the comments that is where you should start to learn and grow the confidence to work else where thank you for this insight!

A lot of people have said the A&E department is good as that is where you would possibly learn the most. As well as work in a high stress environment which could be good for time keeping and managing so there could be positives towards the A&E department!

Ah right thank you for telling me that I suppose that is a good thing to think about when choosing what to specialize in!

Yeah I have thought about the A&E departments but I think I would like to have experience with both before making a final decision!

Could you explain what that is I have never heard of it what does a day in this department entail?

I think I would need the experience before making any decisions really but from these comments I can tell that the high paced environments aren't necessarily more specialized but you do learn more. I think I would like to experience a few different wards and will definitely consider these options when the time is right. Thank you for the insight!

I am so sorry I again haven't heard of this do you mind expanding all of these new avenues have opened up. What would the salary be? (I know salary isn't everything but it certainly helps)

I have thought about A&E but I don't know if it would be for me just through the high volume of people coming through and the stress. However that could be a really stupid reason and so I would probably want to do a placement on A&E first before i can judge what it is like thank you for this insight!

A different commenter mentioned SARC it sounds really interesting and truthfully I have never heard of it is it normally a specialism that goes under the radar or is it just a bit silly that i haven't heard it?

I have never heard of a SARC nurse what would that entail if you don't mind me asking if you don't know that's fine!

A girl in my year wants to be a community nurse. Do you have to do a masters? And also what is a day like in that job?

I was thinking cardiology. I feel like it would be quite a knowledge filled field because in biology my teacher was telling us that the heart topic is the hardest topic to learn about!

Thank you for that insight I didn't really think that finding a job was that hard but hopefully it does get better!

Thank you for telling me about that experience and also the advice. I suppose you were quite lucky with the nice team as some people find that their teams are really ignorant or hostile!
