I am a 22 yr old male who just graduated from college with a BS in Economics. I am considering going back to get a BSN and eventually a MSN in Nurse Anesthesia. I have always loved healthcare and have been great at science, specifically anatomy. I don’t know why I did not do this before. What do you think of the idea? What do you think of male nurses, nurse anesthetists?
I think it is totally fine, this is happening all the time. Remember half of the patients are men and many men feel more comfortable with a male nurse or an anesthetist.
The only problem with male nurses is the fact that most of the patients think they are their doctor. I am a resp therapist and they usually think I am their doctor too. Many patients still think only women are nurses and only men can be doctors. I have seen a female doctor see a patient and then they say she was sure dressed different and asked a lot of questions to be a nurse.
its great that you have a passion for it. you’ll do fine, it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you love doing it.
Go with your dreams and goals you will be fine.
Same as I think of women in the army.
go for it babby
