Krissy, you said the magic words! - you'd "be very happy if you become a successful nurse." Go for it. I know one of your dreams is to work in the USA as a nurse. There will always be a need for nurses. Do what will make you happy. Good luck.
I am taking nursing here in Phoenix, AZ. Generally, after you have completed all your prereqs (Anatomy, Microbiology, etc), you apply for and wait to be placed into the nursing program (there is usually a six-month wait). The RN program is 4 semester...
Go for it. In our class this Fall, there are two of us male studes among 26 females. Last semester there were 5 among 40. The ratio is very small and may seem disheartening. But everybody will always find their niches as I'm sure you and I will.
I am a male nursing stude here in Phoenix. Generally, the patients don't mind a male nursing student helping a regular nurse take care of them. Of course, one would find exeptions. I had patient, once, who had a bias against male students (or asians...
