Thx for your replies folks. Rednights I know what nursing is and that one cannot sit and stare at people......lol.....however it helps to know that one need not talk constantly with his colleagues.....which to me is boring at times. However I want to ask all experienced folks how is life in the ER or ICU ...two areas where I would like to work ...thx again for any or all input!

Hey folks, I am an Asian, 32 year old guy thinking of getting a bsn degree. I am tired of job insecurity in other areas. I want a career with many job opportunities in the long term (though the current economy is bad) and a career with many options. Nursing seems to the one - projected high demand in coming years and all that. Though being a guy I am kind of hesitant to enter this female dominated profession. I am kind of quite but can get the job done. Plus I am an Asian.....at times I think I do not talk that much as typical North American men. At times I can be reserved. Is this is a negative trait? Will I be accepted as a colleague at work? Or will I become the object of ridicule and hatred because of my skin color and quite nature? I am looking for honest replies.
