Is Being a Male nurse hard?

Is getting ahead in management or moving up the ladder hard to do for a male nurse?

I was married to a male nurse. Between that experience and what I have seen in the field... men have a much easier time succeeding in nursing.

They are usually more assertive and more respected simply because they are male.

Please... no grief on this one... most male nurses are automatically called "doctor"!

Specializes in none.

Not if you have the right pieces of paper. BSN, MA, PHD. Have at least one in hospital administration or a MBA.

The hard thing is working while you're going to school.

Specializes in ICU.

Not from what I have seen either. My ex manager in ICU was a male. He moved on to be director of the stroke program. A coworker in the ICU moved on to be manager of a tele unit.

The executive director for the company I work for is a male RN.
