Male Nurses in NICU

Published

I'm about to start nursing school and would like to know if a male working in the NICU would feel comfortable? Do parents react differently towards a man than they would a female? Just a couple of questions running through my mind. I'm interested in working with babies because truthfully I don't want to work with adults. They are just a pain..lol

Specializes in NICU.

I have worked with about 6-8 male NICU nurses, and two male charge nurses in the NICU. I wouldn't trade any of them! The charge nurses are fantastic, very supportive and even tempered.

I say go for it! If you love your job, the families and your coworkers will know it.
