Hello, I am a 25 year old male with a strong desire to enter the nursing field. My background is in the aerospace industry, but after 5 years in the business, I decided it wasn't my calling. Over the last year I have been fufilling prerequisites in hopes of entering a BSN program. To be sure that I am competitive not only with grades but also with hands on experience I am planning on working as a CNA for the next year while I finish my prerequisites. Any other males out there take this path? At 25 I don't want to be looked down upon by my higher ups wondering why the hell im just now working as a CNA. Also do men tend to have issues providing care as this is dominently a women's field? Thanks for reading, Regards, Colin
