A BIG concern

I will be attending Toledo School of Practical Nursing this coming Sept, however with everyone going into nursing in this geographic area will facilities still be hiring new grads after I graduate. My goal is, once I graduate, to take the LPN-RN bridge program offered at Monroe County Community College. However I planned to work while doing that program, and I am worried that I will not be able to find a job once I graduate (even if its part time).

I was attending KVCC during the fall before I moved back to Monroe and all the teachers were telling me not to worry because I was a male, and their always looking for male nurses. Can anyone else validate this. Any insight would be greatly apprecated. Chris

I know at our orientation, they told us that men had a better chance getting into the program than women, because of the demand for men in the field. We do have a few guys in the program with us, and their only frustration so far has been that sometimes (not always), pts. will want a female.

I do think it's great that more men are getting into the field.

If you are in good shape being a male can help you in interviews for units/facilities with a lot of obese patients. If you are obese yourself, being a male probably won't do anything for you. Just understand that if you are hired for being a male, you'll be expected to help everyone in the facility/unit with their heavy patients so be a male and don't complain about it when it happens.

Good luck.

Thank you for the encouragment. This has really been bugging me for the past few days. Yes, I expected that I would have to help with heavy lifting. No, I'm not obese and I lift weights and run regularly.lol
