Murses

Excellent Fran, Excellent. You are the clever one!!! :chuckle :rotfl: :rotfl:

Here ya go Dan...now you can really practice being a male nurse...not a murse.

You might have to wait a bit cos I'm not sure if it is released yet but it's a

real bargain at $9.99. OK...go play.:chuckle

well, it's cheaper than school.

it's funny how you brought up this ken doll as i already likened this thread to playing barbie and ken.

great minds think alike...or is it sick minds?

Here are some more updates to the lateset in nursing technology. Just for you Danny boy.

This is our entertainment group, and our physical therapy section.

I have a huge crew of angels. As we all know, they serve all kinds of people of all ages, and we do need them. So this is the first bunch.

Is nurse even really a "female" term? Stewardess obviously is and therefore there is a steward. Why should nurse represent just females? dumb! This whole thread is one of the most ridiculous I have seen.......

i SO agree kimmy.

And this is the second part of our angel crew.

I hope you like our new makeover

Hey Granny,

I love your new collections and the captions:rotfl:

I have to go to the ER for a bit because I just had a busted diaphram from looking at all these pictures of yours :roll

The thing is, this whole issue is not logical. It is cultural because the term "nurse" is female for part of our cultural and for other part of our culture, it is not. We are probably in some sort of transistion in terms of its gender association.

Just look back at history in the US (not way too far back since nurses were men if you look too far) far enough and the word "nurse" is female because we have close to 100% females in this profession.

Now, as more males are entering the profession, it will probably eventually change to a more gender neutral connotation. That has happened within the profession for the most part in the US, but not too much yet in the general culture (we see some changes now however, slow though).

I am, however, a little bit surprise to see the emotion generated by this poll. After some thought, it seemed that this poll is not clear. Actually definitely not clear.

It seemed most people thought this poll is suggesting we have an official term "murse" for male-nurse. That is not the intent of this poll (although it could be a separate poll).

The intent of this poll is to see how people feel with the already in existing slang term "murse" being used. The poll is interested in the slang context, what are people reactions? I was hoping to see if there are differences in reaction through the discussion of this thread, if any, of the use of the term, depending on the context of how it is used.
