There would be thoughts on how innovative one could get
There would be zero tolerance for abusive patients
Maid service? What's that?!!
If Nursing were a male dominated field...
There would be respect for hierarchy
Being snarky? We would duke it out where it really counts...the bar!
There would be organization... there would be a constant think-outside-the-box
Just because it has always been done that way,
Does not mean it should stay that way!
Change is a constant in life...embrace it.
If nursing were a male-dominated field...
Martyrdom would die...a thousand deaths
They would be paid every cent of their worth
Press Garney be darned
Show me the darn money!
If nursing were a male-dominated field
There would be deals and a lot of networking
Hey, mi casa, su casa!
There would be more of open communication
Less of passive aggressive behavior
Trust me, you won't need a code to decipher what they meant
If nursing were a male-dominated field, there would be less of this
After a fight, misunderstanding...anything
(Female Version): "I am never going to speak to that female dog again"
And more of this:
(Male version): "Dude, still meeting up tonight right?"
If nursing were a male-dominated field
No work would get done...because the nurses would have been appropriated by the female patients who just want a listening ear and the males nurses who just.can't.say.no!
But nursing is not a male dominated field, so we live on...
Oh boy, you've never worked in a male dominated restaurant then. Those boys can be such drama llamas! I can only assume its similar in other fields. Doesn't matter which gender you're talking about, if you lack class, then it can't be helped. I don't think any field would be much different if it were dominated by the opposite gender.
You complain about catty, passive-aggressive nurses? I've read more than a few of your posts around the forum...it seems you may be the biggest cat of them all.
Anecdotes all as far as I am concerned. Yes, some women are catty at times, also some are fair, focused, smart hard working, etc, etc. some men also have some of these same qualities, both good and bad. I work in a small unit and the majority of the nurses are women ( I'm a man) and I N E V E R have seen anything even close to what is mentioned in some of these posts. I'm not saying it isn't out there but there's a lot of B.S. that gets put out by guys too.
From my experiences with males, less squabbling more work and productivity. With females, it feels like I'm in high school---thug mentality---some are great but some are just catty or backstabbers.??
In nursing it's not fun because it's destructive to the patient care. I can't handle nonsense.

Of course. Women don't have a sense of humor.
Kidding!
