Not a bad choice! I got a couple of friends who work as male nurses. It's a good job, granted the pay is not exorbitant and the hours can sometimes suck.
I can only recommend that you get some additional training later, many I know have some additional psychiatry certification, the money and the work conditions are better there. However in Sweden the overall work conditions in hospitals are way better than in Germany - I hope for you that it stays this way!

I worked as an assistant nurse for a short time and I can confirm this. This goes with regard to fellow female nurses as well as regasrding the patients.

This is also true and important: stay out of the inner-female henwar and you'll be fine!
