WAY too much estrogen in nursing....drives me NUTS, and I am a female....I love working with the guys....99% of the time the drama is limited, and if they don't like you, they're pretty upfront about it and not all stealthy and game playing....Keep plugging away, try not to make too many waves, and good luck to you!

I had a similar situation. Because I am one of the very few males in my program, I was watched more closely. The administration had many problems with my fascination with horror movies and action, and my involvement with a halloween event at a local theme park. I finally had to threaten a lawsuit for sexual discrimination if the harassment did not stop. Honestly, I think these good 'ol gals are not used to dealing with males. And they are shocked when they realize we are normal guys with normal guy interests. My advice is don't take any **** from them. If you can gather any evidence on their discrimination on you, do so. And consider approaching an ethics community in your school with your problem. It will embarass the school, and bring you some satisfaction. But only do this if you have a valid case and the evidence to do so. Good luck.
