Born in SC, currently in Northwest GA. About to eneter in my final semester of my school's RN program!

I'll echo that. When I went through my OB rotation, there was one male nurse on the entire floor and that was in NICU. NICU is a really awesome field!

Having worked through, peds, geriatrics, psych, and med surg, I can't say that I felt like I was treated differently. Yes, I realize I'm in the minority there are less than 10 guys in our class of 80, but I have never had my professors, classmates, or my patients comment on my gender. However, I have noticed more female conversations flying around in class, clinical, etc., but that's just due to majority of girls. I save the monster truck and football talk for after school lol.

My school required me to have a pair of all white shoes. I hated the way all typical all white nursing shoes looked and felt so I ordered a pair of Nike Free Runs 5.0 in all white. They were expensive but after logging many hours on my feet, I'd say it was money well invested.

I start nursing in two weeks and was an avid weight lifter, i finished the insanity program twice then got covered up in school. Getting into a lifting/ biking schedule as I go back into school this year.
