how many guys hear this?

Published

Just about every time I tell someone that I'm trying to get into nursing school they say something about chasing women at school or it's a good way to meet women or I wish I was around all those women, ect.... Don't get me wrong I'm a normal guy and I do like women, but geez. I usually just laugh it off but it kinda gets old. Kinda like they don't take me seriously.I can't tell you how many times I've heard " You're going from being a pilot to being a male nurse, I know what you're after, haha" I tell them it's something I always wanted to learn, because I think it's a very nobel profession. Are there any good replies to these comments?

Specializes in He who hesitates is probably right....

I've been a cop for a LONG time. Nothing can be said to me that I haven't already heard. If you think people insult male nurses, pin a badge on for a few days. I wouldn't worry about their comments. Let them eat their hearts out :D.

To tell you the truth, we have 19 people in our class...4 males and 15 females...I am not sexually attracted to any of them...But as friends, it is alright..

I think I'm a mellow and very laid back guy, but for some reason, people with malicious intent are scared to mess with me. Maybe it's because I'm 6'1" and 220lbs. Who knows.

No seriously, I haven't had to deal with it yet, but I'm sure at some point I will. I've had close friend joke a bit. They all know I'm ahappily married though.

What's even worse is when the first thing people ask you is "why don't you go to medical school?"
