male nurses

Published

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..

Well that's a special kind of mean and nasty.

Well, what do you expect from female nurses?

That's why I adore my ER job. Our ratio is like 3:1 female to male. We have a lot of male nurses and male techs in addition to the ER docs.

Soooo nice! Guys are so much more relaxed to work with and it cuts down on the female hostility. And they're smart.

And on the sexist side, I am very happy to have them when I get combative patients or need physical help. Ours are all big guys [emoji15]

One of my old ER buddies ended up working at Urgent Care with me. The girls often mention its a more relaxed shift (we'll see 100+kids in a 10 hour shift in the winter) when they are working our shift; when they're not complaining about going behind us to clean up the med room.

I worked with a guy who was my best friend and a guy who was a big good for nothing crybaby. That was the extreme.

Most guys have been great. The women, too.

I'm just kind of a nurse freak
