Montana State University’s nursing program is helping men change the profession

Adam Geiser decided to switch careers the day he helped deliver his first-born son.

"I got to catch my first boy," the 26-year-old Montana State University student said. "That’ s when I decided on nursing. It just felt like it was right."

Geiser promptly abandoned the other jobs he had tried out over the years, including painting, delivering furniture and controlling pests, and took the steps to enroll in MSU’ s nursing school http://www.montana.edu/wwwnu/ .

Finances largely influenced Geiser’ s decision to become a nurse. With three sons all under the age of 5, he and his wife hope he will be able to make enough to allow her to stay at home with their boys.

But he also is looking forward to working in a field in which he can make a difference to others.

"I found something I really cared about," he said simply.
