Male In Nursing

Being a male going into nursing is obviously something that must be addressed. In fact just today my brother in law who is a head vet technician was teaching in a children’s Sunday school class and he introduced himself as a head vet tech, the children of course had no idea what that was and he explained that it was like being a head nurse at that point the children laughed their heads off and called him a girl.

Making My Decision 2008 - 2010

The decision to go into nursing was a long one. I suppose that I was initially interested in it about three years ago when my wife and I were living in a small town in Oklahoma. At the time I needed a job and the town did not offer many opportunities other than a two year ADN nursing program at the local community college. I applied and was accepted. A good friend of mine that was in medical school suggested that I investigate CRNA or Nurse Anesthetist.
