    I respect any man making good money legally. Smh, a dude having the option of making 35k or 70k as the sole provider of his family picking the 35k and doing a job makes one a man? Yall could keep that.

    It's funny. I did grunt work as a basic EMT; the male RNs made more money, had more schooling but still got teased for having a "? ' job". Meanwhile we got off scot free of ridicule.

    Nay: men and women are not equal; nurses should be women; men should aim for more "masculine" careers; women already have fewer career options; etc.
    Men lack the make you feel well taken care of vibe, they treat you like a number and don't for the most part make your in good hands. And most male nurses are suspect

    Yay: men and women are equal and thus should be able to pursue any career; the job market is tough, so men should be nurses too; etc.

    A lot of them do it for experience for their schooling. Some choose to stay at RN. If they're happy doing that, then there's nothing wrong with it.

    I have ulcerative colitis and have spent a lot of time in hospitals. I have never had a ? male nurse. I've had a lot of garbage female nurses, though.

    In my opinion the dudes who go into the field face more obstacles and ridicule, so they will naturally care more and be better at it than a lot of women

    i said yay, but not for that reason, but because nursing is a hard and respectable profession. nurses do most of the heavy lifting in the hospital, literally and figuratively, so they are very important. i have the utmost respect for anyone that wants to be a nurse

    If that's what's available, do it.

    Kind of how I feel. Just do what you want to do.

    However, I do think that a man probably shouldn't be a nurse if all he cares about is the money and chasing after his female coworkers (I'd like some confirmation on this, but I've heard that male nurses get a lot of "on-the job" ? ?). If you don't care about the actual job, then don't do it, unless you're really desperate? Ideally, you should do what you're passionate about but also consider financial support and competency.

    my friend was a nurse and he said he used to smash all them ? . ? taking him on cruises. mother nurses hooking him up with their daughters. im like damn....i picked the wrong profession.

    Personally, if given the option, I wouldn't do it, not because of stigma, but just because I don't like hospitals.

    I will add this. My uncle is an RN and he put both of his sons through college. Ivy League as a matter of fact. One through Columbia and the other through University of Pennsylvania.

    Get it how you live.

    I should add though, I think it'd be better for males to come into nursing with the mindset of not just "working" but moving up to management roles or into entrepreneurial roles i.e. running a nursing home, private consulting etc.

    It's 2017 but some certain workplace characteristics are still very prevalent. We still see males as more dominant and we are more inclined to listen to etc.
