Mention to most guys that they could have a job where they could be surrounded by women, make relatively good money, have countless opportunities to make the world a better place, and most would ask “where do I sign up?” There’s just one catch. To get there, you must first go through at least two years of education about the entire process and your responsibilities in said field could mean life and death for others. Still, some of them would still say “okay.”
Now, mention that it’s nursing: “Whoa, man, not for me! Didn’t you see Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents?”
The trend is reversing, though. Many males are now realizing that there are countless benefits to having a job where you can set yourself apart from the rest simply by being a caring individual. Plus, the idea of gaining some insight into the female dynamics of the mindset can be applied to the rest of our relationships. However, many men wind up being left behind simply because of the massive mindset of (cue for Indiana Jones theme music) “Nursing School!”
So for those guys who think they could become nurses (and you ladies who are trying to convince your guy friends to be nurses), here are a few tips from a fellow male who made it through:
Tip #1: Don’t fall into the mindset of impressing everyone you meet
Unfortunately, there are plenty of guys who fall into this category. A professor of mine summed it up best with his opinion, “Women are about emotions and feelings. Men are about facts and the concrete.” Don’t be “The Man” who’s always putting his stories about life or family into the lecture. Ask questions when appropriate for understanding, but don’t try to ask a question to put your tidbit in there. Your fellow classmates will thank you for not taking the class on a 20-minute tangent about the time you started an IV after three cups of coffee, and your hands were shaking so bad …

I smoked tobacco cigarettes for more than 30 years–at least a pack a day. I haven’t smoked a tobacco cigarette since a week after purchasing an electronic cigarette almost three months ago. I not only have no desire for tobacco cigarettes; I’m repulsed by them. I am astonished. I also breathe easier, feel better, and no longer reek of smoke.
