2nd Degree BSN for a guy?

[jst10]

Thinking about going back for a second degree BSN to become a male nurse. I have been accepted into an accelerated program and am knocking out the prerequisites now. I just have to be honest with myself and would like to get some honest opinions of others on this situation. It wasnt until about 2 years ago that I started thinking about nursing. I have hospital experience, medical/science background in school, I am familiar with all of the types of care facilities in a hospital and have always been interested in science/medicine. I graduated in 2008 with a Bachelors in Health Science. I have 5 years experience as a certified pharmacy technician with 3 different hospitals experience and some great references. Now I've read other posts about "hard to find jobs" and "nursing isnt just about making money" and I definitely agree to an extent. I am not only interested in making money, like I said I work well in a hospital setting but would like to expand my career/options a little more and I think nursing would be a great field. Problem is I'm trying to balance demand/interest/money and I wonder if nursing is right. Looking for some realistic opinions on the opportunities out there and whether nursing is for me. The thought of it makes me kind of nervous because it would be very different. I am actually interested in doing traveling so that would not be a problem. Are all these negative outlooks on nursing just from people burned out in the profession or negative in general? Are people not finding jobs because they have no medical/science background or experience? Whats the real deal? Sorry for the length.
