I admire those who choose be nurses now as the career has changed so much since I started back in the late 60's. And I say hats off to all the male nurses. Some of the best nurses I ever worked with were males.
Like when we are discussing emesis, BM's or ghastly wounds during our meal time without thinking of those unlucky enough to over hear us while they are eating.
