For those who are truly interested it is currently VERY difficult to get a nursing job in a hospital. There are plenty of jobs in the home care field but it doesn’t have the same salary or advancement as a hospital offers. Of course a home care job offers more flexible hours. Home care will not give you the work you need to continue on for your degrees. Nor will it help you get sponsored for scholarships or financial aid, which hospitals might help you with.
The only problem I can see with men getting involved with nursing is that the pay is capped. So once you hit that cap there is no where else to go to bring in more parnasah. If you are the one who is being depended on for parnasah that pay scale me seem very comfortable as a single person, but as a family man with many mouths to feed and many tuitions to pay, it might not work out down the road.
