Being around alot of women....Pros and Cons

Published

Well, I won't be in nursing school for another few semesters, but at times I can't wait being a male being around alot of women, especially considering that i'm only 19...there are other times where I personally feel that it might be bad at times being the only male in the classes, especially with hearing women's issues most of the time..So I would like to get a perspective of working with females from well..., females. The Good and the Bad. But the fellas are welcome to reply back too. I just want to get an idea on what i'm gonna have to deal with in the classes once i'm officially in nursing school...:confused:

Also folks, would you recommend dating another nurse? And it's not necessarily someone in the same class, but maybe just in the same school that you are? The way this is, I might have to hold back on dating a nurse til I'm a CNA...

And, considering some of the comments read, would the females classmates that don't want to deal with the constant female drama that can happen would rather team up with a male? If so, I'll do just fine....;)

I can tell you are young. The idea that YOU are the one that would have to hold back. I suggest if you are going to be one of the few men amongst women you put a lid on this idea that this is your new dating pool. Real professional women do not like being objectified and are not some herd of lovelies for you strut in, survey and decide who is "hot".

Why are you going into nursing again?

There will be more dudes than you think. It isn't a complete calm fest. Its more like a jambalaya (heavy on the calms though).

Really? Clam fest?

If you actually know what clam is slang for (lady parts) then you need to check yourself. If you use slang without knowing the meaning, look it up.

Not OK.

As for the man who posted that he he even calls the women over 50 girls -- how sad for you.

its what we hipsters refer to it. google it. No better yet urban dictionary it. Your head might explode after you look at all the other crazy words people use today. It was an obvious play on the phrase "sausage fest" (which is my inside joke to the OP cuz hes a dude) but I guess some people can't take a joke.

Aaaand you self-identify as a hipster. Before telling someone to "google" so that we can "get" your humor. What the what is all I have to say to that.

Specializes in basics, I do NOT claim to know everythin.

Yeah I deal with waaaaaaaaaayyyy to much DRAMA from the Crazy DRAMA Queens who still think they are HIGHSCHOOL at the college its so annoying. We are all adults here and do not need this pettiness! We in the nursing for our clients or patients however they feel they should be addressed for appropriateness! It is not becoming to sit and batman catfight we are here to care for others NOT to condone bad behavior for our patients to see! As far as a lot of gals in your class avoid the drama. If you are like us women and you are a woman you know all to much about the DRAMA QUEENS in the restrooms! All they do is bicker about this that or the other and everything is revolving around the "money" or blah blah blah or she can do this that or the other rather than that cow over there.. wooptie do we arent in grade school let alone college we are becoming Nurses of our own specialty and in a job setting PROFESSIONALISM is what there should always be. Our patients come first. Our well being is an off site off work ordeal.

Simply put I do not get why the hell they all are thinking they are in high school all over again. Honestly I am married and I could care less... I am concerned for the well being of others not the petty DRAMA!

Whoa, I'm not going into nursing for the women, that is not my main priority. Trust me, I don't wanna

I did put in one of my earlier posts that I'd rather hang around the folks that are about business. I'm

Sorry if I implied that I'm going to be a player and score with the ladies, which I won't try to be. I would defenitely be in there for the wrong reasons if that were the case, but it's not. But, I'll take your advice. :)

The Reason I did go in:

I kinda felt like I was wanting to go into nursing, but didn't bother looking at it because I was a male at first. I had a few friends that were becoming EMTs and going to school to become Nurses as soon as they left high school. I thought about it, and really didn't give it much thought. I went in as a Pre-Business major, but not soon afterwards decided that wasn't for me. I switched to nursing, and I want to help others, and I definitely don't want to sit behind a desk all day. I was thinking I'd specialize in ER, or somewhere where I'd be in some action. I'm really not the horny youngster that ya'll thought I was...;)
