Re: Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

Re: Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

yeah, i read from a book that the first nurses were actually males. this was in India in the ancient times. and they were viewed as sacred and full of dedications and stuffs.

Re: Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

I placed a thread on this forum on exactly what you just mentioned. Done this some time back.

Re: Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

I have personally been discrininated against on the job; numerous times. I have been fired for no other reason but that I brought a copy of "Male Nurse" magazine to work and left it out conspicuously in the break room. (Where it suspisciously found it's way to the trash can...Hmm)Discrimination for males in nursing is a FACT.

It Happens.

It has just not happened to YOU yet

It seems kinda odd when I read posts like ...well i've never experienced it except for this one time...huh?

I think that it varies in severity geographically but it is still there; just under the surface. Whether intended as good natured bantor or blatantly as I have experienced it.

It started for me along with 3 other male nursing students in Nursing school; which in my opinion is where it is nurtured to a fine art. The clever female nurse with an axe to grind will pick up on these subtle cues and cultivate her own little garden of hostility toward the male species in this profession and alas: the torch has been successfully passed on to another generation....Ahhh



JMHO

Re: Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

Im 17 years old and in Health Occupations, its for my CNA, and I am in a class (very small by the way) of 3 girls and me , the only male student. Do I get **** for it? All the time, but I take it as a compliment for defeating a sterotype, plus look whose with the ladies? Anyways I will enter the world as a Murse like many of you, but I just wonder is the difference that drastic that it will effect the outlining of my future career?

Re: Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

I am, or was, a 33-year-old nursing student at Montgomery College, Maryland. I had a teacher who really had it in for me because I am guy with an education. When I complained to the director of nursing I got nothing but deceit and push back. It's a totally crazy story. I filed a complaint with the college about it last week. It should be posted on www.montgomerycollegenursing.com very soon.
