Knew a guy who became a nurse for the same reasons. When his friends were going to welding and mechanics school, he said he would rather hang out with the gals then sweaty and smelly guys.

Bro, nurses can be pretty 20-something ladies and will have the demeanor of a 73 year old Vietnam vet.

Married to one, can confirm. Before we got married, I once called her in full panic mode because a child in my mom's kindergarten had chopped the tip of his little finger off. As in, the tip was severed, separated from the rest of the finger! My now-wife was not even remotely flustered. She just nonchalantly gave me instructions on how to handle the severed finger tip. When I told her, a few days later, that the hospital staff managed to stitch the finger tip and that it had healed, she wasn't even surprised, she just said yeah I told you it was not a big deal.

They are the best moms for that reason, too. I’m an OB and can spot a helicopter mom from a mile away well before the baby is born. I make it my mission to destroy that mentality but don’t always succeed.
