I am a 45 year old man who has been in the legal field for 17 years. After experiencing the great number of individuals who have challenges in life, and how those challenges leave them stuck in hurt, pain and mental anguish, I realized that Mental Health Nursing could be the career for me. Thus, I'm embarking on a career as a Mental Health Psychiatric Nurse. I'm excited, looking forward to the process and I believe I will achieve my goal. I always research any interest that I have so during my research of careers in psychiatric nursing, I came upon this site. I would love to hear from other male nurses and/or male nurses who started the career late in life.
