why?

I'm a male and I served in the military as a navy hospital corpsman. While serving there were many male nurses in the military and we saw nothing of it, in fact we wanted to apply for the program so we could become a RN. Now I'm out of the military and out here when you tell some people that you are considering being a RN..this puzzled look appears. Then I get questions like "Why not be a Doctor?" and comments like "You know what they associate male nurses with right?" or something else ignorant stating that all male nurses are feminine...I think its ridiculous. I know its common that nurses are female but times are changing right?..who cares about all that. I liked my job as a corpsman and I think I could be a great nurse and help educate others about nursing.

I can imagine the older generation being slightly uncomfortable with it, but I thought this was changing? When I see a nurse and he's a guy, I really don't look twice. I find it so common place. I know at least on the floor where I work, the men nurses are treated very well by the pts., pts' families and the staff!! (and the staff just loves and dotes over them!:heartbeat)
