So..You're going to be a MALE nurse?

[mingez]

I was out having drinks with some friends, some new guy was sitting with us...kinda jerky.

With about 6 if us sitting at a table he asked me what I'm going to school for. I told him I'm in nursing school, and then plan to bridge over to a PA program or (If possible) go on to become a CRNA. To which he replied, "So, you're going to be a MALE nurse?" and then laughed about it.

I then asked him what he does, he's in auto sales. I quickly retorted, "So, you're a FEMALE car salesmen?" He didn't like that much. Just gave me a chuckle and proved a point.

I'm really getting tired of getting these types of comments.

I started crying I was laughing so hard!!! I know you men have to put up with alot and it made me think of my brother, who is in the Coast Guard.

Now people not involved in the C.G think they really don't do much, which is untrue, and that they don't leave the US coast more than 1/2 mile (again untrue) My brother's ship is a cutter so they jump on drug runner boats.. boats that drug runners will blow the bottoms out of and sink so they don't get busted.

Anyhoo.. I was with him when we went out for lunch and it was a mainly Navy town (visiting me) and the guys just started harassing him w/ being a coastie.. and asking what good a coastie was for.

my brother looked at them and said "Giving you Navy pretty babies to come home to."

Keep up the great work.. hopefully one day you will all be simply Nurse! Your care will speak for itself, instead of your sex.
