Prepare for PMS lol. My husband is a nurse (LPN), and the only issues he has with his job is dealing with feminine cattiness and attitude problems (but he is a supervisor so it's his job to keep the peace, he, as a man, cannot understand why some of them just refuse to get along with each other). He really enjoyed school and had no problems. I have not started clinicals yet (next month, yay!) but from my experience in pre-reqs and working as a CNA the males were always welcomed as a nice addition. The males I have come into contact with were refreshing and helped to break up some of that cattiness (no one wants to look bad in front of a member of the opposite sex lol). I think it is great to persue nursing even though nursing traditionally is not a male career (howver that is quickly changing). Good luck and you should def go for it. I wish I had more advice to give but in 2 months when Im getting into the nitty gritty and swamped in school work, I'll come back and let you know how everyone in doing. :)
