I think that if people got over the phobia of being considered gay it would be more popular. How do you think you would like it?.

The $35/hour _starting_ salary? The bump to $41/hour after 6 months? The bump to $44/hour after a year? (My little sister graduates this spring as an RN, these numbers are from one of her offers, another place even offered her a signing bonus.)
I'd like that part of it.
I'd never want the stress though. And I don't like needles.

BSN is better because you could eventually work you way to being a Nurse Practitioner where the REAL money is. A BSN also allows one to teach nursing.

A male nurse is right up there with male flight attendants in jobs I would be embarrassed to admit I do.

I think the gay stigma of being a male nurse pretty has nearly disappeared compared to say.. 10-15 years ago when it started happening. Much more common... hell, I'd do it.. money would be great. But I'd rather not go through med school, too much math and science.... and I don't really wanna deal with the crap nurses have to put up with. I can deal with blood, death wouldn't be terribly challenging, cutting and surgeries and whatnot.. but the rest of the day in between those things, the less advertised and more common things... I don't want to deal with. Changing diapers, dealing with colostomy patients, treating the violently ill.... no thanks. Not my idea of a fun time.
