Men Nursing students a ??

[jdomep]

We have a class of 18 students (we are an evening / weekend program) anyway...there is 1 man in our class whom is a great guy all the way around (probably 40 ish great married life with 4 kids)

All of us women in the class notice that 1 particular clinical instructor (who is only 38 herself) picks on him unmercifully. Do you guys find this common?? It really bothers me that he gets singled out

My class has 3 boys and 19 girls. Nice to have a couple of roosters in the crazy hen house!! They can break the cluckin every once in awhile. Nestled in a hen house can get to you after awhile with all the cluckin!

That one male student needs to get himself a slogan, like mine for example (and it is equally true for the female students):

Hey all,

I am in my last year of nursing school and after spending what seems like an eternity there, I do feel that the males in my class have had a hard time. There are three of us in a class of 33 students.

I didn't notice any certain treatment first quarter. I did notice it in third quarter and according the other guys, they have felt it too. I can't say with unequivocal certainty that we are treated unfairly because there are a variety of factors to consider.

One is that other female students are picked on too. In fact, the general consensus is that each quarter, a teacher picks two or three students to give a hard time. Secondly, we as males may have walked into the class being vigilant and on the lookout for unjust behavior, which makes us hardly objective.

Any other thoughts?
