title: Student life - What it's like to be a gay male nursing student.
abstract: I trained as a nurse in the 1980s, when societal attitudes towards gay people were less tolerant than they are today. I was open about being gay with colleagues and friends throughout my nurse training and subsequent career, and I never experienced homophobia - but I know that others have.
