My Specialty of Choice

Since January of this year, I have been researching the different specialties of the medical field.  What did I find?  There are SO many. HA!  Not only did I have to study the different areas of interest.  Yep, I checked everything out on Salary.com too, sure did! 

I think I did a pretty good job of at least narrowing the choices down.

Top Choices:
Nurse Practioner
Cardiology
Neonatal
Pediactrics
Oncology
Ob-Gyn
ER
Head Nurse

Low Choices:
ER
Geriacric
OR
Public Health
Psychiatric

I found this on Nurslink.  These salaries are likely give and take hundreds and thousands of dollars depending location and experience.

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist $135,000
Nurse Researcher $95,000
Psychiatric Nurse Practioner $95,000
Certified Nurse Midwife $84,000
Pediatrics Endocrinology Nurse $81,000
Orthopedic $81,000
Nurse Practioner $78,000

As I progress I know there will be areas I like more than others and parts that I'm good and and some I am not.
