Cool Re: Polling our male nurses: What area of nursing are you currently in right now?

ER is my area, however, the ER I started in we did everything including PEDS. Now I'm with the VA so it kind of limits the diversity I see. By the way greeting-just found this group.

You would be an "other". Sorry.

I haven't noticed any other school nurses in this thread. You're pretty unique!

Angry Re: Polling our male nurses: What area of nursing are you currently in right now?

I am currently in LTC. Thought I would like being an LPN. This truly sucks. Have been a nurse for 6 months, and I am back in school. I planned to go to work in a hospital, but they do not want us lowly LPN's anymore. When I do grow up and become a real nurse a.k.a. RN. I want to do ER or Surgery, maybe ICU. I was an auto mechanic for 20 years, got to stay mechanical, if that makes sense.

Thanks Tweety - I put my vote in as "other" - so far I really enjoy school nursing - standing up for the children that fall thru the cracks in the system seems to be my new "specialty". The pay is very low for an RN position - but the hope and joy that can be seen in the faces of the kids is simply priceless!

Is Telemetry really that rare, too? "Other", for me.

Re: Polling our male nurses: What area of nursing are you currently in right now?

Coronary Crital Care and cardiac transport on my days off for some extra OT. After my 2 12hr days and 2 12hr nights in a row, i can not find it in me anymore to do extra shifts on the unit when they are short staffed and.... they are always short. Has anyone watched the documentry on CNN news showing the wounded soldiers (American, Iraqi, and civilians) arriving at the frontline military hospitals? This is trauma team effort at its best. I watched it every Sunday 2 parts. The interventions where text book, professional and the ability to cope under that much stress will really inspire you. A must see for all you ER/ED junkies.
