I have a co-trainee then at the Philippine Heart Center, he was hired for the training program. He started April 2009..he told me he's among the last batch who was luckily hired for the training

this doesn't make sense. they discriminate male nurses? at this time and age? and it's a premiere hospital in the philippines to boot! i hope it's not true otherwise it could get pretty ugly for them.

Re: Is it true that St. Lukes isn't hiring male applicants now?

so when is the next batch gonna start? what are the requirements and how much does the training cost?

Re: Is it true that St. Lukes isn't hiring male applicants now?

next batch? no idea... still waiting for their call.. there is no cost for training, they are the ones paying you (I just don't know with QC branch)

Re: Is it true that St. Lukes isn't hiring male applicants now?

I just submitted my resume this Monday. One of my insecurities is that I don't have any hospital experience yet.

As for freeze-hiring of male applicants, I'm not really sure, but my classmate in Masteral (who's a guy) is included in a new batch of trainees there. In fact, he was the one who informed me that St. Luke's is hiring now. I'll confirm it with him.

Re: Is it true that St. Lukes isn't hiring male applicants now?Male nurses are seen as more dominant and less submissive than female nurse. Read this as: Women are easier to control by management and less confrontational when there is a problem.

In addition to that, "Men tend to talk more, longer and faster, while women are more descriptive, attentive and perceptive. They tend to ask more questions, self-disclose and solicit more information than males. Females are attentive, friendly and open, which improves productivity and morale.

Males talk more during unpleasant situations. They tend to disagree and are also more responsive to their supervisors. They also tend to focus on content. Thus, they are oftentimes steorotyped as better speakers and researchers. "(Sullivan and Decker, 1997)
