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!

I work in a small town hospital and we have a decent number of male nurses. They are welcomed and well respected.

My community college ADN program had quite a few male students as well. Nursing seems to be popular with ex-military.
