What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them? - page 14

Odd. I have never had this issue. I HAVE had a patient say that I was a jerk once, but of course I'm not (lol). You have to remember that perception of the patient is their TRUTH and reality, so if they perceive something, even if skewed, they will believe it. Keep the patient happy, swap them out, and move on. Comfort has an impact on recovery...
BTW- Im a gay male RN- there are quite a few of us, but that's just as any job. Most of my guy friends that are RN's are straight. Myth all the way..

Just one less pt I have to deal with-there will be more pts to come don't worry lol. While u are reading this there is a call light ringing.
