Corvette Guy Specializes in Telemetry, OR, ICU. Jun 27, 2006 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. 0 Likes

While not a majority, still the largest two categories.Yep, most male RNs seem to lean towards the technical side of nursing, i.e. ER, ICU, , Stepdown/PCU, CRNA... however, nothing wrong with a male nurse in Med/Surg, or any of the other areas 0 Likes
