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

[Thunderwolf]

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.

I want to work oncology but now I wonder if I made a right decision because so many of us work in critical care type of field.

BTY is it true that it takes 10+ year to really understand what's going on and get a big picture of things. I am afraid I started too late.

[SteveNNP, MSN, NP]

No. I think after a year you start to get the whole picture. Welcome!

Can you tell me where you are?

Squeeze my fingers...

Well it all depends on what you were doing before nursing school, for myself I was in the ER and ICU as a TECH, so I was able to put things together while in school, once I was out of school it all became very clear to me. But I'm also learning every day at work. It usally it take about 3-5 for things to Click for it all to make sense..

Hemodialysis baby!!!

Planning to become a Renal Nurse specialist in the future. Now trying to expand my experience and skill in acute renal failure (so see you guys in ICU!), peritoneal dialysis and maybe Renal Transplantation (OR then).

Now seeing all these ER, OR, Critical care people here... maybe what I am doing is not such a bad things. ER for two years, where the Matron tried to pull me into OR.

Stereotypes are the same everywhere.

:nuke: Honestly, I am suprised at 14 being in L/D and Maternity. Thought it might be the lowest, but more than transport?flight? I shouldn't be suprised. If I like it as much as I do, I guess its only logical there are many more. There should be more of us.......
