Male Nurse Midwife

Published

I think one of the amazing things about nursing is how it changes us. I am a gay male, who never had an interest in children or women. As this semester has progressed in OB nursing, I have come to realize what I think I want to do. I idea of being a male midwife just has such appeal to me... Thoughts? I really have fallen in love with L&D, PP, and Nursery... But I want to be more then a nursery nurse, I want to actively engaged in the pregnancy, and one of my professors is a CNM, and I am fairly certain this is what I want to be...

I'm a fairly conservative prude..... I think it's great :) One thing that will be able to get past anybody who does have an issue is a passion for what you do :up: Most of my GYNs have been male (aside from the nun NP). It was their job.

There are cultures that don't go for males seeing behind the undies- but they won't be calling you anyway- so I wouldn't think it would be that big of a problem.... congrats on finding something you are really interested in :)
