A man in a seemingly female driven career

I'm currently in the nursing program and very excited about my new career choice. I've noticed that most of my classes is 1:10 male to female ratio. This doesn't bother me nor bog me down one bit. I was curious if there is still this stereotype that nursing is primarily a female career out there. I have heard this from various people. I was curious if anyone out there notices a frowning on men being in this career or not so much. Either way, let me know from your experience because I would like to know what to expect as well as what I'm in for. Btw, another things is, I have tattoos on my arm(which are not by any means offensive) and I'm wondering if that will hinder my chances of getting a decent job down the road or is the contemporary enviroment more excepting. They are covered up when I wear a short sleeve shirt mostly so it's not like they are on my hands or forearms. Any advice or "intel" would greatly appreciated!!
