Males in Nursing: Improvement or Hindrance?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hey folks,

I am currently a part-time Firefighter/EMT and find myself attracted to the medical side of things. Where I live, I am surrounded by several hospitals, clinics, etc. providing ample opportunities in Nursing more so than EMS.

Is there a concensus in the Nursing world about males entering this predominantly female profession?

Just Curious and wanting to know what I'm getting myself into! :rolleyes:

Thankx.

It doesn't matter one way or the other to me. We need more nurses, period.

Nice to have some "muscles" around when the Meth OD/Psych patient comes up from ER.

...and the patient's ALWAYS think their male nurse is a doctor for some reason.

Nursing wants warm bodies. If you are a good guy, you'll be as welcome as a good gal would be. Some nurses think men in nursing will save the profession, others think they don't belong in certain areas (L&D, OB/GYN), but most could care less what you have between your legs, they care about what you have between your ears:)

I like that -- whats between your ears not between your legs. LOL

I totally agree pal. I'm a male Nurse and i love every minute of it, but i don't do O&G. That saying you have more male gynaecologists than female, so if o&G takes your fancy why not.

Make sure you keep your body warm, nursing and nurses need it warm. :rotfl:
