    Yes, besides a male nurse can easily get a job, its all part of a balance of sexes in the field, u see more female nurses than male nurses. So if u can u should go for it man.

    Yes. The number of male nurses is increasing.

    And for some reason male nurses tend to make more than female nurses.

    Do you live in 1950?

    Males have been nurses for just about forever. In this day and age, I can't imagine that there would be any stigma remaining about a "male nurse" any more. Especially considering that most of the male nurses I know got their training in the military.

    Yes they can, and are usually very good.

    The hospitals all over the country are using male nurses, and their numbers are increasing every year.

    This is a very good profession, and the pay is great.
