Welcome to the wide world of nursing NICU, ER and ICU offer the best pay and also have the most positions available, typically. I've noticed alot of L&D positions, too. My suggestion is to go with what fits you best, personally. If you love The Rush... ER If you like High Tech... ICU If very sick babies are your calling (God bless you!)... Go NICU Many jobs out there to be had. Best to do one that suits your nature.
