Reccomend a gender neutral title to replace "Nurse"!

Not trying to give you a hard time, but males have mammaries, too.

Sorry I like being called a Nurse. I do not believe in gender neutrality. I do not even see the purpose of it.

I guess that I fail to see how the title "nurse" is in any way "gender-specific", at least in regard to how it's used today... Yes, I'm aware of the origins of the word, and the history of nursing, and all of that. I think we've progressed quite a ways beyond that however. I'm a guy, studying to be a nurse, and I can't wait to proudly wear that title. Nothing wrong with it at all.

BTW - I'm not really a big fan of "gender neutral language" myself.... In many cases it sounds contrived, stilted, and a bit odd.

I have no problem with the title "nurse". It's no more gender specific than the title "doctor". I remember hearing the phrase "woman doctor" when I was a kid just as we might hear "male nurse" today. As more men enter the profession, the assumption of a certain gender will fade.

I think you are the one having a problem with the title Nurse..I would wonder why?
