Hello everone, my name is Ryan and I have been trying to decide between two programs my school offers. One is Nursing and the other is Radiologic Technology. I have the pre-reqs for both done, however my first choice is Nursing as I think I would like to pursue Nurse Practitioner someday. My problem is I have a problem with feeling faint(cold sweats, clammy etc) with certain things. I dont know how I would feel about catheters and really invasive procedures. I also cant say Id be thrilled about vomit and feces either. I used to work at a nursing home as a activities aide but didnt have to change them obviously. I think that if I could get over those things that my personality would make me a good male nurse. My other concerns are with me being a MALE. I have heard conflicting things as far as Males in nursing, also about males who attempt to become NP's. What is the outlook for male RN's/NP's? If anyone could give me some insight/advice about my weak stomach or support to help me in my decisions, I would greatly appreciate it. I just dont want to go into a career where all I do is clean up vomit/feces and be miserable as the people in the first year in nursing forums are. One more thing do new grads always have to do a year of med/surg? Thank you in advance to anyone ho can help out! -Ryan
