Hello, I'm a female and not in nursing school yet, but just completed my pre-reqs. I'm a little curious about something, and I would like your opinion. In one of my pre-req classes, I overheard a guy tell another guy sitting next to him that he "is going to be tempted after becoming a nurse because of all the chicks." (He's married with a child.) Please don't think I see men getting into the nursing profession for the wrong reasons. I wouldn't mind working with men in nursing, but after hearing this comment, it made me wonder if there are others out there pursuing nursing just so they could have more opportunity for....hmmm...dates. (Sorry, I know that sounds bad, and don't mean to offend anyone!) The thought actually never came to mind until I overheard that, and I'm sure you're nurses because you want to care for people. Again, I'm trying not being judgemental because he's not here to defend himself, but that comment (along with others this person made througout the semester regarding women) really had me wondering if he was wanting to become a nurse for the right reasons. And please don't get me wrong, guys; I think it's great that more men are getting into nursing and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't!
What do you guys think of my classmate's comment?

I think most are in it to be able to help other and have a rewarding career. I can't imagine one spending over 40,000 just for some "dates". 
Then again, you can always take nursing school online (at last the coursework anyway and not the clinicals). I wouldn't worry though.
