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

Start in the ER in 2 weeks. Been a ski patroller and EMT-B for over 10 years, think I'll be at home in emergency.

Interviewed on a cardiac floor, the NM looked at my resume and said, "Why are you here? This has emergency written all over it." Needless to say, I didn't get a job offer.

Starting in MICCU on Aug 4th. My hospital combines Medical and cadiac ICU together (MICCU). I am excited and I am eager to learn. I would have preferred to be in SICU, but for now I'll be in MICCU for 6-12 months and after I'll try to transfer to SICU! I think that SICU is more "exciting"...

Geez, Louise!

First job out the gate was in Trauma/Burn, and I've worked ICU, ED, MedSurg, Mgt, Admin & Travel... so where DO I work?

Still trying to figure that one out! *LOL*

I do desire to continue through with MSN, perhaps 2x in Admin & CRNA, maybe even a FNP cert.

Just thinking, you know.

Cardiac cath lab last 2 years. I returned to this lab were I worked 9 years ago. I worked almost exclusively ICU's of some type, CCU, SICU, CVICU. It's always been my observation that males are more tech comfortable and lean toward those areas.
