Im currently a beginning nursing student part of a fast-tracked course.
one of the reasons, that i commenced this course, firstly is for patient care, secondly to be able to one-day provide for my family and kids....which i ain't having yet...still single.
this is my point.....
still searching for Miss Right....
the question is are females at all attracted to male nurses?
or seriously should i just hush it all up, enjoy the status in the community of being a healthcare professional,
enjoy the pay, and live well...........but direct myself to a more male dominated profession for females to respect me, such as do a specialisation as a paramedic?
i just don't know, but certainly want my future female partner not to take the mickey out of me.
is it just better to mebbe, focus on other healthcare professionals as potential partners, as they would be more understanding.
romantically challenged.........a tough question.......would respect anyone with some input....because this one
is a thorn in my side.....i sometimes feel that my masculinity is being threatened in the eyes of other females...
that need to compensate in other areas such as ....ambulance volunteering (which I love!)...or doing house renovations and DIY projects (which I also enjoy for the relaxation of it all).
Specializes in Emergency Dept. Trauma. Pediatrics.
To mi vida loca, sharing is caring ! jk . I am a nice confident guy who doesn't feel the need to display a fake jackass persona. Cmon now that is so bs. I laugh at guys like that. Im a people person, i make conversation with everybody . I volunteer for a hospice organization , and also help with kids who are less fortunate. What im saying is i'm definitely a nice guy who attracts women, anywhere and everywhere. No fake a hole persona needed. I am successful because I enjoy life, love to give and this makes me naturally confident. Feels good:)
I never commented on your character at all. I don't know you from Adam. I was just sharing lessons I learned and have seen a lot of woman do. Which BTW, all the jackass persona's I have seen, weren't fake. They really were jackasses I also never said that no woman are ever attracted to nice guys, was just saying for some, usually it takes time and learning to see that nice guys are the way to go.
I am a mixture, I want a nice guy, but I want a guy that has my back. I can take care of my own. But I want to know that if a guy is being inappropriate with me my man isn't going to just smile at him and say "lets go hon".
I am working as a tech and if I wanted I wouldn't have any problem finding someone at work. I imagine that will only intensify once I start my nursing program. I just don't think I will have time for it once I start school.
My experience is this: For girls in Nursing (I'm still in school) it offers little to no advantage being a male nurse, in fact it probably works against you. In my school, it's the same girls in the same classes every single day. You flirt with one girl in your class, they all know about it, so don't even bother.
Most of the Nurses I meet on the unit are way older, but the younger ones I would never flirt because it's a professional environment and there are far too many risks involved. I assume that they think the same thing.
However, like a previous poster, I have FOR SURE gotten attention from family members of patients before. However, just like in the previous examples, there is far too much on line to ever make it happen.
Now for women that I meet outside of the 3 domains, every educated intelligent woman that I have ever met has seen it as a very positive thing. Fortunately, this is the only avenue I would ever pursue anyway.
Personally, I couldn't care what women think of me as a Nurse, I'm doing the job because I love it and I love helping people.
I find most guys respect it too, there's only been a couple that had something negative to say about it. They were all rednecks with a grade 10 education. Need I say more?
Chicks dig dudes in scrubs...end of story lol. But nah really, I have a good number of female friends that think it's a bada$$ what I do. My girlfriend's a transplant nurse too. We're actually in grad school together(taking different classes though).
a few years ago my father had 3rd degree burns on his hands and was transferred to a burn unit. The majority of his nurses were male...they were polite, proficient and easy on the eyes..so yes women are attracted to male nurses...but I think it just depends on the individual woman and her own personal preference.
Funny, I think nursing has come so far that sometimes it catches me off guard that anyone would question a man being in the field. We have many men in our class...actually our OB clinical group is 50% male. It's quite nice and offsets the estrogen. :)
Personally I find male nurses sexy - as a matter of fact, my husband is an RN. We used to both be factory workers, and we both began pursuing this career path after a plantwide layoff. I saw huge changes in his confidence level and overall security with himself after becoming a nurse. Another funny thing...his department has a lot of men, and they're all pretty hot. I think his manager knows what she's doing when she hires the guys. (j/k!)
You will be able to attract women just fine. As a woman I look at how you treat others, if you have a good relationship with the female members of your family, and if your an honest person. What you do for a living makes no difference. You should look for a woman who wants to build a life with you.
i am a straight forward person and i know what im gonna say is wrong but its just the way i feel but male nurses is not for me. i wouldnt say men shouldnt be nurses but to date etc one no its for me. but thats not to say u shouldnt become one. i think u need to look at what u want to do as a number one priority not what your future wife will want. she will love you for you. if she doesnt than shes not the right person for you. follow your heart. thats my honest opinion not to offend but u wanted an honest answer. serious though do what makes u happy
. jk jk jk!
