Having experience in a variety of clinical settings makes it easier to determine which types of units one would find to be a good match for skills and personality traits. Nursing school does not encourage one to decide on a career area prior to graduation, nor does it allow for extra experiences. Community colleges and vocational/technical settings do not guarantee a job upon graduation. It is not necessarily true that because of rapid turnover of nurses in health care facilities, locating a choice of job is easy. There may be no openings on units the nurse would prefer.
