I'm doing a gender issues project on male nurses for my degree at Bolton Institute and was hoping people would answer some questions. The aim of the project is obtain information about how male nurses feel working in a female dominated environment, their motivation and whether they are treated equally. My research involves questioning 5 people, the answers to which will be partially quoted in the project. I am asking for your voluntary participation in the research, and you are free to discontinue your participation at any time. Please add your name to the following sentence: I, _____________ am participating in this interview of my own free will. 1) How long have you been in the nursing profession? 2) How long did you train for and where? 3) How many men were on your training course? 4) How many women were on your training course? 5) How many men were teaching on your training course? 6) How many women were teaching on your training course? 7) What position do you hold, where and how long? 8) Where and what positions have you previously held? 9) How many men are there on your department, how many are in positions of power? 10) How many women are there on your department, how many are in positions of power? 11) Why did you choose a career in nursing? 12) How did others react to your choice? 13) Have you ever been treated differently in work because you are male?
