I guess the only advantage is their ratio over male nurses.

Re: Male Nursing Student Forum Reminder

I think that male nurses make great Nurse because we have to work even harder during nursing school and even harder after graduation to be excepted my the female nurse.

why do you have to work harder?

Re: Male Nursing Student Forum Reminder

Poppycock I have never heard male students having to work harder than female students in nursing in my life nor have I seen it. What I have noticed however is many students dont like to work hard and it is not gender based.
Ok I will duck now

I think all nurses have to work hard to be accepted by their fellow nurses. A smart nurse with strong skills and a solid work-ethic is an asset to any unit. A nurse lacking in any of these is a burden, but many experienced nurses do realize that if the work ethic is there, the skills and knowledge will improve over time. Still, nurses have a lot to do, so there's pressure to learn to carry your share of the load as quickly as possible.

There are those who say men have it easier, that they get preferences over equally qualified women. I suppose that may be true in some settings, but I haven't found it to be the case. Others say men are discriminated against, and while that may also be true, I haven't seen that, either.

Do you mean accepted??? Come on ...nurses are nurses, we dont care what you have in your pants. Most female nurses LOVE male nurses they can help with the heavy patients, sometimes a males voice will settle down a confused/combatitive patient. Many of nights our ER is staffed entirely by male nurses and they need to call one of us "chick" nurses down if they get a female patient that needs an exam to witness.

In what way??? do we not do the same training? I thought we did..

ok so men are bigger and stronger.. that may give an advantage in some ways but not always. Men can more touchy feely than woman but it can also be true vice versa.

a nurse is a nurse is a nurse....

Re: Female nurses have more advantage over male nurses?

Male nurses, in my opinion, are sometimes treated a little better than their female counterparts. For example, the rude doctor who screams loudly at the female nurse in front of a group of people wouldn't even think of behaving in the same manner toward the male nurse.

I've known male nurse be skinned alive for doing something stupid.. and trust me, you work with me and do something that warrants you to be skinned alive- it will happen regardless of sex! (or the fact that you are a foot taller than me!)

I've know male nurses get away with holy murder... one such 'friend' had the hospital radio play 'paddy mcgintys goat' and dedicate it to the Irish ward sister we were working for at the time.. you have never seen so many nurses trying to hide.. but Mike (the culprit) got away scot free. on the other hand- I've had friends working for male charge nurses who get away with stuff.. one such charge nurse would forgive you anything if you remembered to bring him back a sausage buttie at breakfast!

cuts both ways...
