Nursing seems really interesting to me

I have a BA in history and have mostly worked a bunch of unfulfilling jobs since graduation. Nursing seems interesting, and I'm in the process of applying to several local schools. Pre-reqs aren't too bad for someone who already has a bachelors; I've just got to knock out 2 semesters of A&P and microbio and I'm good to go.

I'm curious what the work environment's like for guys, mainly. Especially more ah...traditionally male guys. I'm 6'1" 200 lbs and I have a shaved head and a bunch of tattoos , am I going to be judged negatively for this in interviews or have trouble fitting into a female dominated workplace?

I'm also interested in Neonatal nursing as a career goal, is this an uncommon specialty for men?

I'm a shaven headed white english working class male who aint much shorter than you. I have no tattoos. I work in theatres ( OR ) and enjoy working with neonates. As long as you care about your job, are willing to listen and learn- you will be golden.

Its not a bad job and as long as you are good at it, nobody gives a flying gently caress what sex you are.
