God I can't wait to become a nurse.

Re: Womens interest in male nurses

It's funny. I find that it's men who give me the "stereotypical" reaction when they find out I'm in Nursing school.

Conversely, women's eyes light up when they find out I'm going to be a Nurse and the usual comment is (something along the lines of), "I would love to have you as my Nurse!".

I should also say that I feel very masculine and confident in my nursing scrubs. Thankfully mine are a spiffy blue that match my eyes LOL.

I agree Divest. I can't wait to finish school and become an RN. For so many reasons.

cheers

Re: Womens interest in male nurses

One of the best ways I have found to perk a woman's interest in a male nurse is to lay off the break room doughnuts and curl alot of weight. Every now and then I would show up dressed to the nines and smelling nice to pick up a schedule just to remind the ladies that I indeed was a man ;-)


Seriously, everyone has covered the bases pretty well. One of the issues I have had to deal with is that the lovely female nurses around me would effectively trash every other female in the building if I feigned interest. They tend to get very protective of us.

What the thread needs to go onto is how to break out of the eunic (a.k.a. friend) zone with some of the lovely ladies.

Cheers!

Re: Womens interest in male nurses

Hey guys,
I'm a woman, a nurse and single. I love having men around and I don't care if they are nurses, doctors, resp.therapists, xray techs or anything else. I think we need more men in nursing too, as someone else said, to "balance out the estrogen and testosterone". I work with mostly women who get catty and back-stab the minute you leave the room. When men are around they tend to curtail that behavior probably because they are more aware it will make them look bad. As far as dating men in the workplace...I wish I could find one that's not already married. I think if I found a man who was a nurse and single I would be super lucky. They are real men who know the fragility of life and good health. The problem I have found is that they are really good people and have been grabbed up by someone already! I'm still looking though...
