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.

On my floor there are only 3 male nurses, in SICU, there are more male nurses then female nurses. Go figure..

Men in nursing have always gravitated to critical care so it's not unusual to see more men in SICU than women. It's rare to see men working in med-surg and they usually don't stay very long when they do.

If it was up to me, I wouldn't be on the Med/Surg floor, but AZ really restricts the LPN on thier SOP.

I'm a pediatric homecare nurse, and I love it :) I spend a lot of time in schools, and kids are very receptive to seeing a male as a nurse... its great!

In New Jersey, LPN's can be nurse managers in Nursing Homes. The RN would be clinically in charge but scheduling and overall running of the unit would be up to the LPN unit director.
