Take the poll....then tell us why? :)

; CNAs hide and/or are used as sitters; .

I work on a CCU/telemetry as an aide and only wish I could hide..now if I had a dollar for every time a nurse sat chatting with friends while I was cleaning up one of her dirty patients and the callbells were going crazy, I would be rich:)

I'm not in nursing just yet (although I was a medical asst in a geriatric/adult internist's office for 5 yrs) but I had to choose peds. I don't think I could hack it sticking kids all the time, plus knowing that some are neglected, abused, etc. I have a very tender heart for kids and babies. Don't want to do L/D or OB either or oncology. Not sure where that will leave me, but in this economy, when I graduate I will take on what is out there.

I absolutely could not work in a burn unit.

Ok, so I voted OR. Admire you guys and gals that can do it. I passed out cold during my clinical rotation! I can't believe that psych ranked so high! I was born to be a psych nurse! It is so much fun, challenging, yet rewarding at the same time! Love it!

Psych is my least favorite. I found myself afraid.
