Any Men in Nursing Student Clubs Out There?

[Daithi]

I've taken up the call to start a Men in Nursing club at my school. Are there any others out there who have been through this? In addition to general advice, I'm looking for help with these specifics:

What is your club called? (I'm hoping to coin a catchy acronym and looking for inspiration).

Is your club affiliated with any other organizations (such as AAMN)?

What are some activities/events/discussions that have worked well for your club?

Thanks a million in advance!

There is a national league for male nurses - ALMNAA. You should get in touch with them. Someone was going to start a chapter where I live but they decided that there was enough of a gender division already. I have to agree.

A male nursing society doesn't have to be about gender division. An organization can be dedicated to supporting some nurses without undermining others, e.g. recruiting more men into nursing.

Yeah, I was in a Men in Nursing student club while I was in school, then graduated and co founded an AAMN chapter in the area... the two are affiliated now. I'll PM you some info.
