Wow, you are really gung ho with your career. My advise to you is to forget about the money and the pot of gold at the end of your rainbow. Nothing is more valuable than experience. Get a job at a teaching institution first. This way you will be trained in the latest technology and nursing interventions of today. The disease process will be repeated to you just about every day, making you aware of what interventions are required for each disease.Once you have gained at least 2 years of experience, go on to broader horizons. I have seen many senior student nurses fail because they are out for the money. As a matter of fact, some of my friends are still trying to find the right job. I speak from the experience I gained at a local teaching facility in Texas. 3 plus years of SICU, Dialysis, and floor nursing. I hope this helps.
