1. Male Nurse will work for food

   Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired

   But not at all for the reasons implied. Men make more only when these other factors are taken into consideration. These articles are misleading in a number of ways. 1. They point to nursing as a high growth and high employability career, and yet so ...

2. Male Nurse will work for food

   Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired

   Here are a couple of articles from US sources telling men what lucrative profession nursing is and that male nurses will make more money than their female counterparts - ya right, discrimination lawsuits galore would be filed if that were true: Male ...

3. Male Nurse will work for food

   Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired

   Well, I'm not a new grad, I have over a decade of experience working the nursing field, but I have to say, I would not recommend men getting into this field - not at all. What irks me about all this though, is that the lies continue, and the media se...

4. Male Nurse will work for food

   Jasano posted a topic in Retired

   This is an ad I ran in Kijijii. I have been an unemployed nurse here in the province of Ontario now for going on 6 months. Prior to that I was employed at two seperate part-time, temporary jobs. I left one temporary job for another that promised I co...

5. When do you give up?

   Jasano replied to bravera's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would tell anyone thinking of getting into nursing, to pursue something else. I've been a nurse for over a decade and after 9 months of searching, all I was able to come up with was a part-time casual job in pharmacy - I'm not even working as a nur...

6. Male Registered Nurse will work for food

   Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired

   I likely won't get any response, but you're right, at this point, I've exhausted all other options - maybe I should try it.

7. Male Registered Nurse will work for food

   Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired

   I have applied to every area of nursing, from homecare, to retirement homes, to nursing homes, to telehealth, to mental health, to hospitals - acute and chronic. I have been extremely flexible - it is just impossible for me to find a job in nursing. ...

8. Male Registered Nurse will work for food

   Jasano replied to Jasano's topic in Retired

   Just as an update: Well, it is now February, 2013 and I have been unable to find work in my profession. I am now working outside of nursing, in a pharmacy related job, for casual-part-time hours. I have a degree in nursing, and over a decade of exper...

9. Changing Careers to Nursing as 35 year old man

   Jasano replied to DB7721's topic in Men

   I'm a male nurse who's actively been seeking employment for several months in my home province of Ontario, Canada. It's been extremely difficult and discouraging. I would not recommend the nursing field to other men, as I have always had a more diffi...

10. Male Registered Nurse will work for food

    Jasano posted a topic in Retired

    I'm thinking of running this as an ad in my local newspaper as I've been out of work for 2 months with only one phone call in all of that time. I have approximately 10-15 years of experience in various areas of nursing, but there is absolutely nothin...

11. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men

    Well, I disagree with you completely. There is no justification for discrimination against men or against women. You seem to be quite willing to overlook some rather blatant discrimination against men, because of some hardship that women have had to ...

12. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men

    These are actually falsehoods that you're spouting. Dollar for dollar, women and men make the SAME amount of money. Hour for Hour women CHOOSE to work more part-time and therefore lose out on some of the career advancement. In fact, studies have show...

13. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men

    IMHO you're one hundred percent right - we have become a gender fixated society, and we owe much of our plight, from broken families, to broken marriages, and yes even gender-fixation in areas like nursing to our rampant and (quite rabid), feminist u...

14. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men

    Ha! An excellent post! I too suffered discrimination while undergoing my nursing training and can empathize with you - I rarely suffer such discrimination from members of the public or from my female colleagues, but nursing school was hell - you coul...

15. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Jasano replied to ern91's topic in Men

    This is NOT a problem with male nurses most likely, but rather a problem with public perception of males in nursing. I doubt very much that it is the case that your male colleagues are 'trying' to offload their work onto you, as much as it is likely ...
