So I have been looking at the various career options I have and Nursing is the one that interests me most. I am not interested in becoming a physician due to the amount of time it takes to get there and the amount of hours required. I am married and have 4 children. I want to see them grow up and I am not willing to part from that. PA seemed interesting and I may consider that one although I am guilty of not liking the title of Assistant. Nursing will give me a great level of patient interaction and care while only taking maybe 2 years to complete the program. ( I already have a B.S. in another field ) My concern is how are men perceived in the nursing field? Are men looked down upon? Do men face descrimination from staff and patients? Are men not allowed to work in certain areas such as Labor and Delivery? Thanks for the help in advance.🙂
