Funny you say that... I was just thinking about moving to Atlanta after nursing school. Maybe working for Emory HealthCare. Who knows...

you'll do great. dont even worry about it.

Hey LB, I live in Fayetteville and I know about 3 black male nurses. In the nursing program at the CC I attend theres about 2 black male student nurese. So yes there are black male nurses.

black male demographic...

Hey Y'all

Wondered for years about this demographic being underrepesented in our field. Thought it must be because of the association of male nurses and being gay. (From reading and talking to the black guys I've known over the years--being "punk" is more anathema in the black community than in the white-bread-suburbs where I grew up.)

Lately I've met several. A couple in Baltimore and now in TampaBayArea. All of them seem at ease and of high caliber. Maybe the 'pioneers' could be thought of as the 'cream of the crop'?
