Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

I would definetly prefer a female nurse or doctor for all forms of care. This is just a personal preference as having a male nurse would probably make me very uncomfortable. I dont think I would have enough nerve to ask for one though if I was given a male, I think i would just suck it up and be humiliated.

I am a bit confused by your post itsbuzzy. Why would you make a choice on the gender of a nurse/provider based on it would make that nurse/provider uncomfortable? I though the idea was to make a choice on your comfort, but not the providers discomfort. Was this a mistype?

It would kind be both. Just from my experience alot of our younger nursing female students are very embarrased performing certain care on males. They do it, but they are noticably uncomfortable. I actually had one female tell me the other day that she hadn't seen an uncircumsized penis before and was worried about having to do certain care if given a patient with one. As for me being uncomfortable, I think that knowing that the nurse is uncomforable would make me more uncomfortable.

I hope you can make sense out of that. LOL.

it was almost as though I was... well, you know... uh.... I was trying to pull back the foreskin to clean under it.

LOL. That is hilarious. It would of been very embarrassing at the time, but afterward I bet that was a good one for your fellow students/nurses to make fun of you about.
