I have been a nurse for about eight years. I have seen so many surprised faces when I walk into a room. Generally I am accepted almost immediately, but at times I am rejected. I do not take it personally, but I believe it is just a perception that all nurses should be female. I enjoy what I do very much and don’t allow negative comments to affect my work. I am glad you have started this blog to express the feelings of men in nursing.
