I just make it a point never to say that I'm a male nurse. I am a nurse.

Well, I must disagree. I'm very proud to be a Male as well as an RN. Therefore, I choose to proudly say I'm a Male RN. IMHO, a vast majority of the public still sees nursing as females wearing the white hat & white uniform. Yes, I agree the role of a nurse should be the same, no matter if a nurse is male or female. Nevertheless, what better way to show patients & their family members the "white hat nurse" is in the distant past by proudly representing the male nurse.
