Since you have a Bachelor's degree (in a unrelated field) you could complete an accelerated BSN program in 12-18 months. Less time than it takes to earn an ADN. Yes, male nurses are respected.

You can get an Associate's Degree and become an RN. A lot of community colleges offer this, and since you already have a Bachelor's I'm sure they'll let you skip the basic pre-req's. Good Luck!

This isn't the 1950's anymore. To get a RN; you have 2 options: get an AA associates RN (2 years) or try & find an accelerated bridge BSRN that is for people with a bachelirs in something else (then it is just the 2 years core nursing program). HOWEVER< both will require you have certain pre-reqs which you may or may not have (such as anatomy & physiology) so that would need to be taken as well. As would any science cores more than about 5 years old.
