As an added bonus, I can answer your questions from the perspective of being a man in nursing who has a wife that is also a nurse. Men is nursing is more accepted today than it was when I began in 1993. Regardless of your gender, Nursing has so much to offer and is among the most respected professions of our time.

I am currently a full-time Critical Care Ground Transport Nurse/Mobile Intensive Care Nurse(MICN).
