Richard T.
Birmingham, AL
RN, Surgery
After a successful career in mechanical engineering, including
serving as a Director of Engineering in a hospital, I felt that I
could combine my technical background with patient care, and chose
to pursue nursing. I’m glad I did! Nursing school was an
interesting experience, and having the additional education and
cross-training makes me more valuable in the marketplace. Now,
through nursing, I feel that I am afforded new horizons and have
the credentials to support me. Nursing is a wonderful career for
males as well as females and I encourage any male to look past any
stereotypes and to pursue a career in nursing. P.S. I also found my
beautiful wife through nursing! Nursing… it works!
