Men or Women? who is a better nurse?

Published

im student nurse... and one topic that we came across today in class is " who is a better nurse? men or women?" ... is it really true when they say women are more caring than men? For nurses that have been in the profession in years, what do u think? ...

GENDER DOESN'T MATTER LIKE COLOR DOESN'T MATTER.SOME INDIVIDUALS MAKE BETTER NURSES THAN OTHERS.

Dont know if this helps but a patient I had when I was a student nurse asked me if I was going to be a male nurse when I was done my training. I told her I didn't know and would have to think about it. When I need a nurse I want someone who is competent and on the job. Gender, age, race is not and never should be an issue. And that's the truth....:D :D :D

Nurse well and prosper,

I agree with adriennurse and mark_LD_RN, It is a loaded question, And does promote closed mindedness and bias. It should not matter whether a nurse is male or female, a good nurse is just that, A GOOD NURSE. no matter the gender.

both make good nurses. Women have the natural sense of nurturing, but men have the emotional strength.
