Hi everyone. I am currently a senior in high school graduating soon, and am thinking of becoming a RN and later on getting my masters in nursing and becoming an NP. I'm a male by the way.. Reason I say this is because I know this is a female dominated profession. I want to become a nurse because of the demand there is. I know there are a lot of shortages of nurses, and that there are nurses being imported from the Philippines to fill in positions. I also enjoy helping people and getting satisfaction from that. I also hear the salary is fairly decent for RN's as well. Nice to meet you all
