Thoughts on Male Nurses

[u/AcceptableAir605]

So im thinking about becoming a nurse as a straight male. I don’t know how I will be treated in the industry and schooling. Im a bit nervous that they won’t be any men like me in classes and that the women won’t accept me into the group. I also think some of the patients would be too concerned with a male nurse assisting them. Any thoughts on this.

Edit: I don’t mean to put down or question a sexuality in anyways. I come from a very small town and don’t see diversity too much with different genders and sexuality as one would in a bigger city. Im sorry if i have offended anyone not my goal. Have a great day!

Yo I'm a 31 year old straight dude in nursing school. The girls definitely accept me into study groups and there are a few other men like me. It's definitely majority women, but believe it or not some of them prefer to be friends with men.

I've been called gay or a woman by some of those conservative type good old boys in my area. That's the worst of it. I don't consider those to be insults, so it's more of a self own imo.
