It does matter!! And that isn't what I am saying. There are aspects of the job that a male nurse will find easier and patients will find more comfortable with male patients than female. I don't have a problem but I am guessing others do. All I am asking is for some diversity.

I haven't decided yet. Not sure if I want to get my HIM degree first or get my nursing degree first. I am leaning towards the HIM first because I think I would finish it faster since I a a huge computer geek. These are the programs I am interested in. http://www.llu.edu/explore/step2.html#07.005.1216.0000.5.000 http://www.llu.edu/explore/step2.html#07.005.1216.9284.8.001 Another reason is that it takes time to get accepted since everyone and their mom wants to get into nursing. I am at a community college right now, I need A&P, Micro and chemistry to be finished with the pre reqs. Then I don't know how long it will take.I want to get out there and workin then go to school on the side.

I think the field would get more men applying to be nurses if the advertisements would put a male face as a part of nursing more often. I am on the path to be either a CNA or a RN, and it is difficult because all the advertisements and magazines have women as the face of nursing. I know women are more attractive to look at but come on!

I believe she has her Masters. This is cubensis btw I don't know what happened to my account I can't log in and when I reset my password it keeps saying an error occurred and that it is wrong. Another option is to go straight to a health informatics degree instead of a BSN and work as a CNA on the side. I am trying to get through school asap. I am 36, got fired in December from a job I absolutely hated. I believe healthcare is in my future.
