Poll: As a male in Nursing school, my goal/desire is to work in this area....

[Thunderwolf]

I thought a visual would be nice for us once folks have placed their preference vote.

Also, I have placed a similar poll in our Male Nursing Forum. That poll can be viewed here:

Good comparison threads when viewed together.

I think I would like to learn more about being an OR nurse. The idea of seeing all sorts of operations and procedures fascinates me. I'm also very interested in working in a burn unit. I saw a program about some of the things they are doing to heal burned skin and it's really amazing.

What about Forensic Nursing? Can someone explain what is involved in Nursing Law?

[SAC101]

I enjoy teaching...if only I didn't have to do clinicals.

C.R.N.A. = M.O.N.E.Y.

CRNA would be nice. But I think I'll be happy with E.R or Forensic at first.

I'm thinking about working in a Med-Surg first then move on to ER.

OB-Labor and Delivery Especially! We as guys need to break into this specialty!

Working as a Remote Medic on an offshore oil rig right now. We do suturing, antibiotics, advanced airway, etc. I am very interested in doing Critical Care and then maybe CRNA. What can I say, I'm a sucker for anything with bells, beeps, and buzzers on it!!

I feel that Hospice is what nursing is all about. Money is not the primary focus for me, instead its actually helping people when they need it the most. What better way to do that than with Hospice.

Hello guys, I'm an EMT, worked in the ER for 5 yrs as a tech, graduated from LPN in December and starting the LPN to RN transition in June. Definitely must work to support my family of 3. The hospital I work for has a graduate nurse program where you get to rotate through different units before you decide where you want to work. I feel that the ER is my natural choice, but while I'm in school to complete RN I may work in the recovery unit of the outpatient surgery. Not sure yet, haven't rotated through the good old ER, the call maybe too strong. The unit educator coordinator told me that us guys are meant for the ER/ICU/critical care and of course flight nursing. But hey, whatever gives you the most gratification. I think 90% is to keep your fellow female nurses(and boss) happy! One of the ER nurses once told me that we are the buffers of the unit. Rock on guys!

ED for me to start but ultimately NP for me maybe even an infusionist. The world is my oyster.

Emergency nursing is somewhere I feel I do want to end up, but would like to get some Coronary Care experience under my belt. Planning to work in New Zealand for a bit then head over to more than likely Canada to continue my career. It seems New Zealand male nurses hover into ICU, ED, CCU and flight nursing, nursing education here has dropped the maternity module of our training, so we dont get the exposure there, which upsets me but ah well. only 5 more weeks of class left then final clinical placement then Registration exams
