I believe we need a male nurses week

Published

Because we should simply be celebrated for having our very presence on the floor lol! Just playing :)

But for real I think we do deserve our own week, lets look at what we do above and beyond:

Heavy lifts and always being asked to "assist" with lifting patients.

Dealing with the combative patients and family members.

Being given the heaviest groups because "were the men".

And many more :D

So my fellow male cohorts, ARE YOU WITH ME!? :coollook:

Specializes in ICU.PACU.

sure....when metal bedpans come back,& we don't use gloves anymore.. nursing is not about gender, race,nationality, etc.
