Nursing junior and PUSH founding president Yana Sigal said she was frustrated by the lack of a Nursing LGBT community. But more than that, she was "totally blown away" by a lack of awareness among her fellow students.

"If a patient is transgendered, how do you address that patient? What pronoun do you use?" she asked. "[Students] don't realize that there are more options for gender than just male and female."
