Although there are more women than men in nursing, it's by no means a profession only for women. You might find a quick read through some threads here, including the Men in Nursing section, useful before deciding to go ahead and apply.

Johny 24, there is certainly a great need for male nurses out there, so don't let misconceptions that may lead you to believe otherwise..follow your heart/ dreams, and you'll never have regrets!:redpinkhe

Go to any hospital or medical facility in your area, find a male nurse, and ask him if you can spend some time shadowing him and talking. He can give you some good insight on becoming a nurse and doing the job of a nurse, from a male's perspective. By all means, if you think this is what you would like to do, go for it. It is a rewarding career for men as well as women.
