Specializes in 6 years of ER fun, med/surg, blah, blah.

WTF! Don't you have anything else better to discuss?!

I know male nurses are making a great ley way into nursing, which derives the name from wet nurses, but come on, get over it. Nursing is the equalizer. I see nurses as nurses first, not their gender, ethnic background or anything else. We are here to take care of patients not worry about labels.:chuckle
