Though I have not yet decided on a specific field of nursing, I plan on starting off in a position that will help prepare me for any nursing position in the future.  Med-Surg nursing provides a foundation of knowledge and nursing skills that I will carry with me throughout my nursing career regardless of my speciality.  One of the reasons I chose nursing as my profession is because of the various feilds I could potentially go in to and the option of switching areas throughout my career.
