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

As a sample of 1285 male nurses who have taken this poll thus far, not bad! It does provide a nice glance as to where our male nurses tend to work. It is not representative in that several categories of nursing may not be listed...and that doesn't even include sub-categories of nursing. PhillyNurseGuy is a nice example of this. But, all in all, not a bad sample of men in nursing who are members and who have taken the time to take the poll. Of course, it does not reflect any of the men who have NOT taken it or chose not to take it.

Good question, RNParamedicJohn.

And also....thank you for your service to our country, John.

Thunderwolf,
As your above post stated that 1285 men had participated in this poll.
As someone who is in the process of trying to get into Nursing School I do find the poll interesting.

Could you please post the results of this poll?? or did I miss the tally somewhere along the line??

Thank you,

As they say in Boston,

I think you forgot anesthesia as an option in your poll. We CRNAs are nurses also.

Wow, nobody has posted in here in over a year...it's been two years since I posted in this particular thread, and probably about that long since I posted on the site at all...

I have since moved out of the hospital where I worked in the neuroscience IMCU, turned out it was bad for my health (I did learn a lesson from it: Never accept a job offer made immediately during your interview). I have since returned to active status with the private duty home health agency that I have worked with off and on since 2001, before and between trouble ridden stints in hospitals) and waiting for the current hiring freeze situation to end, in hope to return to a hospital setting again (and hopefully the right one, if the third time is a charm). That or I'll go work at Walmart.

Med/Surg. 13 year absence from nursing after getting MBA and rising to President of HMO and then becoming private investor. Wiped out in recent real estate bust, back in nursing to rebuild my business. Was old ICU/CCU nurse. I took med/surg because they were the only ones to offer me a job, all about tasks and charting. Not very exciting.
