Question re: gender

Just a simple question....

Is this a male dominated field???

After a few responses I have added this:

Since this is one of the highest paying specialties in nursing, I find it interesting that there is a higher concentration of men in this area of nursing vs. any other.

Does anyone have an opinion about why this is? Or if you are a male, can you tell me why you chose CRNA?

This is just an attempt to gain some insight into this topic so that I can get over any bias that I may have related to this issue.

Just fact finding.....not debating , not making anyone wrong.. :chair: .OK :)

Thanks for any comments. K

Thanks for your responses to my post...

When I was 5 I announced that I wanted to be a general surgeon...fastfoward 32 years and 3 kids later this is where I have arrived. Eyes toward achieving my CRNA. It seems to be the closest I can come to my original dream and still feel complete in my career path.

I love the OR and the people in it and to be able to stand "sentinel" for a person while they are under seems to me to be a great honor. Thanks for doing what you do and working so hard to get there....
