Even before asking the name.
the first question that pops up is "WHY DID YOU JOIN NURSING'
share your experience too
The first thing that always comes up when i meet another male nurse is, "did you watch the game the other day?"
Only female nurses ask me "why did you become a nurse"
Not once ever did another make nurse ask me that lol.
Myself and other male nurses always find conversation about sports or cars or hunting.
The first male nurse I met that I talked to a length was a student family nurse practitioner. The first thing I ask him after general greetings was "how did OB go?" He told me only one woman ask him for not to be in there, and she was a foreigner with a different culture. I live in the south eastern United States, so any problems male nurse face are probably the most rampant here.

There should more concern in asking males "so why did you choose law enforcement" than asking males "so why did you choose to be a nurse?" This thought makes me flash back to the movie Boiler Room where Ben Affleck suggests one should "Act as if." The world would make a little more sense if people stopped "acting as if" and were themselves.
