    Thought this would give us all a nice visual once folks place their vote.


    Currently, I am in Ortho-Neuro Med Surg.

    Interesting poll. It's going to be interesting to see if my stereotype of male nurses perferring places like ER and ICU is true.

    I would eventually like to get into education

    Peds BMT, I am one of 5 in our area, about 10% of the nurses on our floor. Every day I am pleasently surprised at how many of my peers are also men.

    Havent we done this already?

    Anyway.... five years ICU-SICU (transplant-cardiac etc etc).

    I moonlight in a couple small ERs.

    Currently deployed.

    Would like to get into transport or flight. I dont think I could stomach the ICU anymore after this. Id like to go to EMT-P school for fun but I dont see how I could find the time-
