Final nursing placement!
I am happy because I found out today that my last placement will be at an all male inpatient unit! I have only had one other previous placement on a unit so I am looking forward to developing my knowledge over the next few months! Has anyone ever worked on an all male ward? I have worked on an all female ward and loved it, despite definitely being nervous beforehand!

I never have worked on a all same-sex unit, sorry. The only advice I can offer is, because you are working with all guys, for your protection to have a coworker with you if you're going to give meds, do procedures, to or be alone with a patient. Not only for the protection against assault/battery, but also to protect you from any false accusations from patients.
