Men In Nursing Project

[AOx4]

The Men in Nursing Project has a discussion forum on Facebook dedicated to the support and advancement of males entering into, and within the field of nursing. As a paradigm shift continues to occurr, what was once a field traditionally dominated by women, is now seeing increasing numbers of males choosing nursing as a career; with that comes issues specific to males as RNs. The Men in Nursing Project, the brainchild of Executive Director Deb Schulte Hacker of Maurine Church Coburn School of Nursing in Monterey CA, along with Wayne Lavengood LCSW; created the project in 2007 from an altruistic muse with a steadfast commitment to the success of male nursing program students statewide. The positive response from schools around the state has been resoundingly overwhelming. In 2008 the Men in Nursing Project made history with the first ever Men in Nursing Project Conference held in Monterey CA. A two day event, many prominent male RNs within the healthcare field graced the podium, along with the well venerated Executive Director of California's BRN, Ruth Ann Terry. The 2nd annual Men in Nursing Project Conference will be held once again in Monterey CA on April 23rd-24th. With the momentum the project is carrying, and interest growing exponentially, the Men in Nursing Project continues to be an incredibly fulfilling ride for the creators, as well as all involved.
