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 am leaning towards ED, ICU, Burn Unit and Flight Nursing.

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

I assisted in a delivery as a volunteer firefighter once. I would very much like to avoid doing that again...ever. But hey, if that's your calling have it OB-GY-nobi, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't.

I like flight nursing too. I just have to be on strict diet.

Specializes in med-surg.

I'd like to have some time in ER/trauma, but eventually I will probably move to peds. Flight nursing sounds cool too...but I here that is a tough job to get into.

Specializes in Acute Rehab.

The ED definitely.....hence the username....

Specializes in Med-Surg, Telemetry, Stepdown, ICU.

My current final goal is to go from LPN to RN BSN while working in a CCICU and then start working on my Masters in Nurse Anesthesia.

I have been a surgical tech for the last 6 or so years, so going into school, I knew I wanted to go into surgery. I just finished my first year, and no surgical rotation yet in clinicals. Big suprise, nursing schools make floor nurses, not surgical nurses... guess they figure I know what's going on in there, though nursing, versus teching is so very different.

I have not really found my niche yet and I have done clinicals in medsurg (tele and perioperative), psych, and maternity. So far, I have enjoyed maternity the most.
