Hey folks,
I am currently a part-time Firefighter/EMT and find myself attracted to the medical side of things. Where I live, I am surrounded by several hospitals, clinics, etc. providing ample opportunities in Nursing more so than EMS.
Is there a concensus in the Nursing world about males entering this predominantly female profession?
Just Curious and wanting to know what I'm getting myself into!
Thankx.

Nursing wants warm bodies. If you are a good guy, you'll be as welcome as a good gal would be. Some nurses think men in nursing will save the profession, others think they don't belong in certain areas (L&D, OB/GYN), but most could care less what you have between your legs, they care about what you have between your ears:)
I like that -- whats between your ears not between your legs. LOL
I totally agree pal. I'm a male Nurse and i love every minute of it, but i don't do O&G. That saying you have more male gynaecologists than female, so if o&G takes your fancy why not.
Make sure you keep your body warm, nursing and nurses need it warm. :rotfl:

It doesn't matter one way or the other to me. We need more nurses, period.
Nice to have some "muscles" around when the Meth OD/Psych patient comes up from ER.
...and the patient's ALWAYS think their male nurse is a doctor for some reason.
