Doctors disrespect Male nurses.

Nurses Men

Published

Hi,

I'm a male nursing student, and I was wondering whether this it true.

Do Doctors in hospitals, male or female disrespect male nurses because they look at these males as dumb and not smart enough to become a doctor ?

Do doctors disrespect male nurses in general?

I am not trying to come off as offensive since I am training to be a male nurse as well, it is just that this is an insecurity that has plagued me for a year now and i thought that it is just one of those things that just disappears, but it has not.

thank you and I look forward to being part of this site.

I find doctors are actually more willing to teach me stuff than female nurses.

I have always felt that I was given more respect than female colleagues while working as an RN by providers, management, and patients...and even other staff nurses.

As an NP I don't fight the same role resistance battle some of my female peers do, especially with staff RNs.
