I am just starting nursing school and was wondering what speciality is best for a guy? ER, Surgical, Critical Care, Flight, etc....any help or input from your knowledge would be great. I don't want this to turn into a competition between posts...just would like some personal insight.....thanks!

I guess that the answer to this question would vary from person to person. I would assume that the specialty that one chooses would depend on the interests of the person. And I find that this is one of the greatest things about nursing. There are many options to choose from. 


Bottom line, there is no one "correct" specialty for a male nurse (or any nurse for that matter). It is greatly a matter of opinion and personal interests. 


It sounds though that you are one who enjoys an adrenaline rush. So yeah, the ER and OR would be a great place for that. You will have the opportunity to see and explore many different specialties while doing your clinicals in nursing school. You may find your niche in a specialty that is very fast-paced or you may be surprised to find that something else interests you. Just remember to keep your eyes and ears wide open to the possibilities that are out there.

Emergency Room for the win.  There are days when we are hard pressed to find a girl to assist with out Foleys/pelvics.  It just seems to be a guy's sort of environment because it is fast paced work and room to advance into flight, etc.

If you have adrenaline it is ED. But of course you will need to keep a cool head. I would suggest you shadow someone. But of course you need med-surg work first.,
