I can promise you that there are hospitals and colleges that will not even let the male nursing student go to clinicals in L&D. That is a FACT! It is 100% Gender discrimination!

I am pretty positive that the VAST majority of woman that walk into a L&D unit do not want a male nurse.
Well MALE Patients do not want to be ambushed when he has surgery with all female nurses too. Lets practice gender equity for all patien...

As a nurse, you should do whatever you can to protect patients' modesty and dignity. Many patients value modesty. Think about how you would feel if you had to strip naked in front of a bunch of people. Listen to patients' concerns about modesty caref...

@JadedCPN You will never understand just like your name says because your JADED to the facts. Women get the most respect as a patient. You should go to a hospital that has 30 male nurses with zero males. Stay a week and see if your views change. Ma...

Well said and it is because most female healthcare professionals are ran by feminism. Just once I wish they could change the genders with having 35 female nurses and 1 male nurse for a facility but have 100 patients with 60 of them being men. I pr...

"The gender of the patient and nurse are irrelevant.” False Maybe to healthcare personnel its that way by not to many patients. And if we have truly patient centered healthcare system. The needs of the patient trump the providers methods.

@mmc51264 I like you being honest that you prefer a male OB/GYN. Important that a patient has choices. The biggest issue is that patients chose the provider, but most patients have a chaperone without a choice of who or the gender. Would you be shoc...

@trytounderstand We are talking about HR, CNO, Charge Nurse, etc. at a hospital all being female supervisors that will hire 49 female nurses and 1 male nurse at a facility. Yes this happens often and males do apply but are not the first choice many t...

"The same as they cannot discriminate against a male just because he is a male." I can promise you that males who are RN have been discriminated from being hired in Labor & Delivery Units because of gender. That is a fact!
RNMikeMiller replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing
"So how do you suggest those accommodations be made if there just isn't staff of the same sex available?" That is the problem is that many facilities only have one gender of nurses to meet the needs of all patients. Some will hire one male nurse such...

You hit the head on the nail that females get treated with respect and men do not. Many times a female staff members make jokes and comments about male patients. I've seen more penis than a prostitute and balls than a cather. Imagine a male nurse mak...

@NightNerd You made the choice to see a male OBGYN, but you could of chose a female OBGYN if you wanted. I bet that you will never have a male doctor and male nurse/pa alone with you during an exam, but a male patient has a female doctor/np and fema...
