Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

One year out, still no job
Why work towards your BSN? You still won't have work experience. Get a job first and have them pay for your BSN. The last thing you wan is to be 2years older with no nursing job and more debt. #realtalk

One year out, still no job
Btw. Work history is huge. I've been working since I was 16. I don't understand how people can't work. I played sports all year round and worked in the summer. In college I worked even on full time status. Working during school shows employers that you can actually hold a job.

One year out, still no job
If there are no new grad jobs in your area move to an area where there are new grad jobs. Get your experience and move back to your area you'll have experience and power to decide where and when you would like to work.

How important is your 'look' as a nurse
I'm skinny and my appearance to me matters greatly. However, I have hypertension and high cholesterol. So physical looks cannot accurately tell how healthy a person is.

Have Male Nursing Students felt bias during class/clinicals?
Bros I have never felt discriminated against in peds OB fundamentals in the cohort or in the library. I give respect and demand respect even as a student. In OB i had female nurses pushing me into the delivery room. They knew how much I wanted to be in the delivery process and made sure it happened. I continually thanked each nurse and patient for the opportunity to learn and they reciprocated by giving me harder assignments. As for the fellow female nursing students. When I hear them starting the hate game I take my pen and assessment papers and find a corner to actually focus on my patient. Don't look for trouble. Sincerely, Bro

Minority Nurses
I'm half Japanese and Hispanic. I don't get any special ins. I only think it's helpful if your are culturally and lingual lay connected. If you can do that you are valuable to a hospital.
