Just dont stop when you start, I started studying nautics in 2009, and I'm still the first year, just because I took some time off that is now well over 12 months

The class is *only* one and a half year long, with a 100% chance of job, because most of the ones working as Nurses are close too retirment, and that us Guys are well sought after :p

That's the important part, too many young people study something that they'll graduate with the least effort, and then we have 20 graduates from social or buerocratic courses per one workplace and one engineer per 20 workplaces

A buddy of mine worked for the natural history museum for years (after being in the Coast Guard) and decided to go to nursing school. He's now making good money, and is happier in his work (surrounded by women ).

Good luck!

You can move anyplace you like in the US as a nurse and get a good job since we are critically short of nurses. (actually, a few of my wife's favorite scrub nurses are actually MDs from the former Soviet Union who didn't feel like redoing a Residency to be MDs here in the US—one is a great nurse to have in her OR since the guy is actually also a urologist so he has the instrument ready for her before she even asks )

My friend started making $60,000/year straight out of nursing school (a "plain" RN). He runs a shift now I think, and is making more. Nurse anesthetists can make as much as many docs, too.

My mom earns around 33.000$ a year here in sweden, He earns almost 100% as much as her.

BUT, im not sure what benefits he gets, my mother gets Insurance, Pension and healthcare and the likes.

Good on you for choosing that career, it's not one I would've chosen but then I'm not currently surrounded by women

Hey, best of luck on your new journey, ReFaN.

I used to work with a former male RN. He said that school and the job was great socially. Once you let it out that you are heterosexual, you won't be lonely.

However, he did say that the actual job of being a male nurse was not great. Evidently there is, according to him, some discrimination about male nurses from the other female nurses on the job.

Of course he could have just been whining to.

No, there is a bit of that. My friend said that on the instruction end, many were sort of militantly anti-doc. He's very much NOT anti-doc, and in fact told my wife he acts just as he did in the CG. He treats docs like officers. They like that, which is probably why many docs really like male nurses (the exception being really hot female nurses, who are probably in nursing to land a doc (and they do, we know loads of docs with wives who are nurses (sometimes 2d or 3d wives ).
