If you have the ability to think and reason, you can become a nurse.

you can do anything you put your mind to.
as for wondering if men can nurse that's like asking if women can fly airplanes or drive city buses. :stone :angryfire
Can a man be a nurse? I don't know - can a woman be a police officer, or a dentist, or a doctor, or perhaps a bricklayer? Can a man work as a typist, secretary, telephonist, or schoolteacher? The notion of "jobs for the boys" and "jobs for the girls" is an outdated and antiquated philosophy that kept women oppressed with low wages/conditions/status and rewarded men for no reason. It was the result of a set of social norms that promoted gender inequality by supposing that women are innately humble/meek/soft and unable to cope with "real work". As those of us who are nurses would know, work doesn't get much more real than nursing. Gender is an irrelevant factor in determining what kind of nurse you would make: if you are an intelligent, compassionate, and dedicated worker, then there is no reason you wouldn't succeed in this field (and you would be welcomed with open arms).
I had to take my pre-admission test in May to qualify to start in September, Yea! I got in. Anyway there were a few men. I also serve on an ambulance corp. in my town and when we bring patients to the hospital there are male nurses. They are very diligent and seem to enjoy their careers.
Go for it...

Is this a serious post? There are thousands of male nurses in the US. I work with many excellent, highly professional male nurses. Gender has NOTHING to do with how successful a person will be in this field, nor how they are treated by others. It is inconsequential.
This may be off the subject just a little bit, but I was thinking about all the men in my nursing class. All of them are now in management positions. Do we really all get treated the same and have the same opportunities? Or, is it just a male thing to "climb the ladder" so to speak. I know that not all people are interested in "moving up" - it just seems like men "move up faster"(in nursing). Personally, I have no desire to be in management. Just food for thought.
