I have not been in this profession for long but then i can see that we have made it women's profession and then is not helping that much ,especially in my country and other few countries.
The male figure in this profession would be awesome because of their inherent natural ability in handling physical situation ranging from carrying of patients in the carriers, wheeling them into the hospitals and wards,helping in shifting them on bed when they are immobile and other activities that are tedious.
I appeal to our men to come join us and make the health sector and the nursing profession sweeter.lets make it a profession for all that is my take amongst other things they can do for us..
Yeah, & as an example of how times have ( hopefully) changed..
I recall that some 35 years ago.. as a kid psych nurse trainee..
..doing a month-long maternity hospital placement..
The regular staff nurses thought it was a great joke to send..
..'the boys'.. to remove ( self-dissolving) episiotomy sutures,
from the new mothers, ( who didn't know any better, either)..
& then race in at the last minute & demand "W-T-F!"
I sheet you not..
