I would like to thank you all who responded..I believe I am going to pursue the RN degree..I was exploring all the other health careers here in college and none appeal to me..next semester I'm going to start pre-nursing curriculum..I think its the right choice for me..I've tackled challenges before and I can do this too

I'm a male and I served in the military as a navy hospital corpsman. While serving there were many male nurses in the military and we saw nothing of it, in fact we wanted to apply for the program so we could become a RN. Now I'm out of the military and out here when you tell some people that you are considering being a RN..this puzzled look appears. Then I get questions like "Why not be a Doctor?" and comments like "You know what they associate male nurses with right?" or something else ignorant stating that all male nurses are feminine...I think its ridiculous. I know its common that nurses are female but times are changing right?..who cares about all that. I liked my job as a corpsman and I think I could be a great nurse and help educate others about nursing.
