wasup everybody!? let me get strait to the point, i'm a fourth semester nursing student in an adn program and i'm having custom t-shirts made to promote male nursing at my school. what i need is help with a slogan to be included on the shirt's design. so let's hear what you guys can come up with. we are incorporating a real street image on the shirts so i'm looking for cocky/edgy slogans. here are a couple of what we've come up with:
now, if we all looked at that through your biased eyes, wouldn't you say that half the men there look like thugs and not nurses? it's this type of stereotypical imaging that keeps more men away from the profession.
I live in the cornbelt and the big hospital on the hill has HUGE billboards all around the area with four males dressed in various clothes: one is in motorcycle gear, one is playing golf, one is in a military uniform and one is playing with a child. The slogan says: what do all these men have in common?
Then a couple of weeks later, the slogan is changed to: They are all nurses at XYZ hospital!
It is really a cool ad campaign.
In the ER over the last 10 years, I have had the good fortune to work with some awesome male and female nurses.
Keep up the good work gentleman - we gotta all stick together!

i have to agree with dynasty on this one. it's not the scrub top, shot, or stethoscope that makes this guy look like a "thug." so, what is it? it's not the goatee. i know plenty of male nurses that have goatees. i keep looking at the picture, but i just don't see it.
ok, that's the stereotype that keeps men out of nursing. Why does a man who looks like a "thug" have to have 2 strikes against him about caring for another human? Some of those who you may call a "thug", care so deeply about other people that they cry in silence so their boys won't catch on. I worked for 2.5 years in a MI home with men who would sell their possessions and clothes for a drug, but cried like boys when the "oldest"(95yo) "Pappy" passed on from cancer. Don't lump us up, that thug may just be taking care of you someday!
Who is the thug by the way...the guy in the suit seems to be the odd man out in this picture....
put the Character DOT from the Warner Bro.s toon 'Anamaniac's' with the famous saying of her toon brother "Hellloooooo NURSE" on the front and put her and a bunch of female sillouets dreamy, lusting, or hearts throbbing on the back watching a muscle man walking past .......
there are some clever ideas in here......I wanted to comment about the "new playas" and some of the other references about men being "new" although they are creative ideas and I applaude them, I am trying to get the word out that men were the original nurses! isnt that great news! just research the history, way back and you will find that women are the newbies! but women have dominated the field for so long that everyone forgot where it all started!
so with that in mind.....how about...
Male nurses-- the foundation of nursing...
MEN-founding fathers of nursing.
Male nurse. reclaiming our nursing heritage.
(just a few off the top of my head--now somebody run with it)

Looks like a thug, not a nurse.
How about... "Are you man enough to be a Nurse?"
