How do you contribute to the diversity of nursing?

This is one in a series of short questions I am to answer for an application. I am a bit unsure how someone going for a second degree in nursing can respond to that? Do they just want to hear about your qualities of being a leader, ability to think outside the box? Seems like those are qualities which nurses generally already have, so that wouldn't contribute to diversity.

This is the only question I am completely at a loss for, and all I have so far is that I'm male:idea:

Being male is enough. Nursing is still strongly women.

You are "defying gender-defined roles" and confident enough as a male to take on the traditionally feminine nurturing role.

Take it from there. And welcome.

The fact that you are a second-degree student is also something you could work into it. Also I notice on your info it says you're 24, that's considered relatively young for nursing, try using that too =)
