[COLOR=#000000]This is what I feel as a male nurse[/COLOR]
As a male nurse
I feel exhausted like female nurses
I hold my pee for a long time like female nurses
I eat late or sometimes eat while charting like female nurses
I love my coffee just like some female nurses
I get late with charting and med pass just like female nurses
I got kicked,slapped and cursed by patients just like female nurses
I get yelled at by MD's just like female nurses
I clean poop and pee in bed or on the floor or phlegm on the wall like female nurses
I do not know everything (you know something I do not know and vice versa) like female nurses
I had a hard time at school just like what female nurses had
I care for my patients like female nurses
I am an advocate, a brother, a hero for patients like a female nurse (they are just called sister )
I feel SATISFIED after a 12 hour shift knowing that I am a Nurse and I made something different that day... just like female nurses.

What a wonderful outlook. I have always counted male nurses as part of the "tribe". Being a nurse, male or female, requires hard work and dedication.
