   obrnhunk, i am glad to hear that you found a home in l&d. you are right it is about professionalism. as far as the one request, our job is to provide an atmosphere of health, both physical and emotional, if that means finding a female then that i...

4. male nurse sexism? L&D in the ICU

   omeconium replied to alsmedic's topic in General Nursing

   to baydenoc, don't misunderstand my comment. experienced nurses are core to nursing. the key word here is "ignorant." as far as heat, i've taken more heat than most only because i was male. i disagree with any discrimination! if you agree that m...

5. male nurse sexism? L&D in the ICU

   omeconium replied to alsmedic's topic in General Nursing

   It is amazing if we were black, gay, or women the sky would be falling, but discrimination against straight, white, men is acceptable. Nothing against gay men but I keep hearing nurses tell me, "I worked with a guy in (name your city)," but continue,...

   As a nursing student, I never really gave much thought as to what area I wanted to work in. I worked in a nursing home for two years and then worked in the float pool in our local hospital. Because I was a nursing student (BSN), I was 'allowed' to fl...

    omeconium replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Students

    Thank you for your input. I actually spent 20 years as a truckdriver before going back to school. I was in a traffic accident that put me off an overpass in a truck with two trailers and I decided (in the air) that if I got out of that I needed to ma...

11. Being a man in the field

    omeconium replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Students

    I find it interesting that so many women see men as unfeeling, uncareing and devoid of empathy because we weren't "trained in childhood". It is sad that so many men give off that impression. When we do show any of these traits we are seen as weak or ...

    omeconium replied to hope3456's topic in Activism

    They risk life and limb to get here. That dosen't sound too much like slavery. How would you solve the problem of sucking our medical tax dollars? Some hard decisions are going to have to be made. I applaud your Gov.

    omeconium replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Students

    Presumable the majority of us are adults. However, some of the postings that I have seen make me wonder! "Cover up your goods???" Most of us have spent years studying the human body both male and female. Why is it no big deal for a female nurse to in...
