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

Thought this would give us all a nice visual once folks place their vote.

Currently, I am in Ortho-Neuro Med Surg.

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

Good comparison threads when viewed together.

Interesting poll. It's going to be interesting to see if my stereotype of male nurses perferring places like ER and ICU is true.

I would eventually like to get into education

Critical Care: add me to the stereotype.

Peds BMT, I am one of 5 in our area, about 10% of the nurses on our floor. Every day I am pleasently surprised at how many of my peers are also men.

Critical Care

Havent we done this already?

Anyway.... five years ICU-SICU (transplant-cardiac etc etc).

I moonlight in a couple small ERs.

Currently deployed.

Would like to get into transport or flight. I dont think I could stomach the ICU anymore after this. Id like to go to EMT-P school for fun but I dont see how I could find the time-

Went into the ED right out of school, sort of goes with the Army side. Hoping to continue with Critical Care or Or. Really found Med/Surg dull during school.

Were you a Combat Medic in the AMEDD?

BTW, if you found Med/Surg boring most likely will find the OR boring, too. I'd bet you'd like working in the ICU, or CCU.
