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

i work in dialysis. i did 9 months in CCU/CVSD and hated every minute. of course, my charge nurse in CCU was a giant *****. 33 years of nursing had put a dark cloud over her head.

I work in a Level III NICU in a large Children's Hospital. We have 135+ nurses in our unit and 2 guys. The parents seem to LOVE us because it's very clear that we both love what we do. Adults are just not for me, babies and kids only!

Men in nursing have always gravitated to critical care so it's not unusual to see more men in SICU than women. It's rare to see men working in med-surg and they usually don't stay very long when they do.

If it was up to me, I wouldn't be on the Med/Surg floor, but AZ really restricts the LPN on thier SOP.
