A nurse doubling as security?
I grew up in a logging town, lots of drunks, and I could not count the number of fights I have broken up over the years. I don't have any formal training, only the physical capacity. Are there any hospitals that train security specifically for the medical setting? Would I be recognized as both a nurse and security detail? And more importantly, can I recieve a raise/bonus for having that distinction? I may sound greedy, but that's life. And it seems to make sense to me. As a nurse I'd be in closer contact with the patients than the regular security, and would be able to work more quickly to prevent trouble.

Gay male nurse stereotype?
Think we need to remind them of that. Got calls in HS from recruiters from the Army and Marines. When I mentioned wanting to become a nurse, they both simply hung up on me. I for one am only really attracted to women, but I'm adventurous...

What made you pick nursing...
I was that kid who found the bird with the broken wing, and patched him up to fly. I have very blue-collar sensibilities, and to me Nurses are to Doctors what Carpenters are to Architects. And I just love people.
