Guys in Peds??

Nurses Men

Published

OK, so as you might have gathered I am almost done with school. I am in my last semester of my ADN program and I am feeling VERY relieved, but a little scared to actually get out there and work as an RN. Everyone asks me something like, "So, do you know what kind of nursing you want to do?" I usually just shrug and say something like, "Wherever I get a job". I don't know why I find it hard to really answer that question. I know it might be really early to think about about specialty, and a lot people say to do the year of Med-Surg first......

I have been toying with the idea of getting into Peds. I had an amazing experience in Peds and the nurses I was with kept telling me to apply because they want more male nurses in Peds.

Any advice?

Specializes in ICU, psych.

I agree that a new rn should do med surge. You get skills and experience. I missed that and went to the icu.

If you want peds, give it a try.
