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 voted "Other". :redbeathe Cardiology is my goal.

Having spent 15yrs practicing at 60mph and on the other side of the guardrail, it's time that I started doing my best work indoors, not having to carry my pt down 3 flights of narrow stairs! I'm halfway through LPN(June'09), so I'll be grabbing a 2nd or 3rd shift ER spot(hopefully) to get me through a BSN program. :clown:

I must be blind, but I didn't see Surgical/OR Nurse... or is it similar to one of the options?

thanks!

Psych for me! After 3 years in mental health case management, I've decided Psychiatric ARNP is the way to go.

On that note, anybody have any feelings about AACN's decision to send NP's back for their DNP by 2015? I was ready to go the distance in a master's program, but a doctorate? Not so sure now...

i love to work in emergency becoz males are more likely to do hard jobs.

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

As a male agency nurse, I find that I'm more than likely to be cancelled if the unit i'm to work on has ANYTHING to do with OB. its quite strange. If not cancelled, its a whole other situation, where other nurses are pulled to accommodate me. hmm.....:rolleyes:

Great idea for a thread! I was a fifth grade teacher prior to entering nursing school, and entered nursing school with the clear intention on becoming a pediatric nurse. I volunteered in the ER at our local children's hospital prior to starting school, which affirmed this for me. A new twist in this is that, after recently completing my L&D rotation, I'm now considering the possibility of working in the NICU. I loved it!

Nice to see so many men entering nursing, too.

I did my senior clinical rotations in L&D and loved it.
