<p>This is a nuts and bolts guide to a career in nursing--from its earliest consideration through education and clinical practice--designed specifically for men. The text describes the career paths available along with a consideration of their financial benefits, job security, personal fulfillment, and the need for nurses skilled at information management and technology. It discusses strategies for dealing with a rigorous nursing curriculum compounded by the challenges of potential anti-male sentiment. The guide takes the reader from day one of nursing school through the licensing exam and addresses the specific needs of second-degree and accelerated program students. The book also considers the obstacles that may result from cross-gender nursing communication and relationships with a focus on teamwork. </p>
