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:

https://allnurses.com/forums/f212/polling-our-male-nurses-what-area-nursing-you-currently-right-now-155142.html

Good comparison threads when viewed together.

Specializes in Med surg, cardiac, case management.

I'm presently aiming for hospice/pain management, although it might be nice to do some teaching and research too.

That's the problem when you work for universities; after a while, you just can't get away from them. :)

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

(shameless)

I was thinking either something Psychiatric or the E.R. ... HOWEVER... Im gonna see what CRNA is now because of your post... After all I do want a family of my own and its expensive in NYC. Nothing shameless about wanting a good way of life. ;)

I put ER because I am not sure but at this time that sounds the most interesting. I might like to be a surgical nurse though.

Specializes in Quality Management.

I want to do 2 years in hospice or elder care after school, heavy emphasis on End Of Life care. Then I want to return to CCU or PACU (my first job as a Navy corpsman many years ago), while taking my Masters. After a few years of that I plan to semi-retire and teach, hopefully in northwest Canada.

I voted for outpatient/MD's office because that's where I received decades of administrative experience, and because I couldn't choose both hospice and CCU/PACU.

My personality is such that I get as much out of a job/career area as I can, then I move on.

To get as much as I can as a BN, I want to get straight into a Critical Care course and do CVICU, telemetry, and possibly Radiology or Cath Lab nurse. I will decide if I want to stay in front line nursing about 4-5 years after graduation.

Specializes in ICU. Med/Surg: Ortho, Neuro, & Cardiac.

I'm gonna shoot for the cliche 3...

ER, ICU, and OR. Spend a length of time in each after I have relevant experience and decide which I like best.

ICU-step down

Put me down for the ICU==>CRNA route. Hopefully I can stay motivated to do the extra schooling beyond my RN licensure.

Although my career goals may change, right now I want to aim for being either a critical care transport nurse or an ACNP.
