Specialties for Men

[PhilGN]

I'm taking the prereqs for the nursing program at my school, and I've been looking on here for information about the different kinds of specialties I could go into after school. I was wondering if there are any that men can't can't go into. When I started looking I thought that men would be discouraged from being midwifes or forensic nurses, but I've read in threads that there are men in those careers. I was especially surprised about forensic nursing because I was under the impression that even male rape victims prefer to have a woman exam them than a man.

In my hospital the highest concentration of men are in ICU, CCU, TICU, Cath Lab, IR, ER and anesthesia.

I don't think it matters where all the other guys are. Look around find an area that you feel comfortable in, that you like and will therefor probably put more effort into becoming very good at. staying in an area because there are other lads there probably isn't good for you in the long run.
