gender as a qualification

Hi , Thanks for all the support everyoneI recently signed a contract to work 3 days a week in L&D and postpartum at a local hospital, and now also work full time in L&D at another hospital. So I am working 6 days a week in an area I love. I was offered the contract by the manager there I did not have to ask! So many of my patients had such good things to say about me that she said she had to meet me in person and wanted me to work there more often. My patients still love me as much as ever, I am continuously told how good or nice I am, several a couple told me I was "awesome" others have told me I was the best nurse they ever had. you can see things are looking up for me. THANKS again for all the support. please keep writing.mark

Thanks renee and cathy for your support, It would be terrific if all nurses could feel the same way. I find most nurses accept me once they get to know me. I am sure enjoying my new jobs. it sure beats doing just agency work like i was. Now I get to work almost exclusively in the area I like.
Cathy you are right, I have seen some nurses treat patients like they just did not care or if it was a lot of trouble for them. I work with some that hate when a couple tries to do natural child birth, I actually prefer them. sure they are more work but it is a great experience.
I feel my patients can really telll That I am sincere, really do care and very compassionate about my work. I am very gentle, and will do anything I can for my patients. I love to spend time with them teaching and helping. Like to intereact with the families especially the SO. I find the SO is so grateful to be included.
I was so flattered yesterday, one of my patients told me I reminded her of Patch Adams. She said I am so caring and funny, that she could tell I really cared. It makes me feel very good when patients tell me such nice things.
thanks again,mark
