I'm beginning my education in nursing in the summer and I have a few questions. I have been reading the threads on here for a while and see that it doesn't really matter if I go the 2yr or 4yr route. Ever since my son was born, i've been wanting to be a NICU nurse (he was 36 wk) and hoping to go into a NICU unit after I get my RN. As you guessed from the title, i'm a male. How many male nurses do you guys have in your NICU units? Do they hire with a preference toward females for NICU? I'm just wondering because I know male nurses are a not as common and NICU male nurses are especially rare. Thanks for all the input!
