Hello Jared, I think male nurses are awesome. You are going a little against the grain here and you might get some flak from time to time but don't let that discourage you. I'm sure you're going to...
Well... How did that got personal so fast? There is little sense in insisting on providing care for someone who's not comfortable with the person offering it. It only erodes trust and makes it...
Hi pixirose, Very well. Let's scrap the idea. It was only a suggestion, nothing I had a vested interest in. I know it would work, but it also would be unfair for women. So not a good idea. Thank...
And that is truly wonderful. But have you considered that there might be other factors at play? Are you convinced that they accepted you because they felt you were the best nurse to care for them?...
Hello Purple_roses, It is outrageous and I never suggested it's the way things should be. Hey, for equal skills, I believe there should be equal pay. I do not believe men aught to be pay more than...
AlphaM, I'll be honest and admit that you lost me. I think I understand what you are trying to say but I really am not sure. I do not believe men in nursing have unicorn status but I do think there...
Any action geared toward increasing the number of men in nursing (and other related fields) is desirable. The reality is that nursing is predominantly staffed by women. You might be perfectly fine...
Uhm... Right. That's cute. Meanwhile, on planet Earth... A patient who's uncomfortable with the person providing the care isn't likely to accept it. Or, if they do accept it, it will be because...
Hi Farawyn, Yes, this would be one way. Others could include education grants geared towards encourage men to enter nursing education (of all levels and specialties), sign-on bonuses, or even pay...
Hi cayenne06, I agree with you. All things being equal, gender certainly has no impact on skill, knowledge or experience. I do disagree with you, however, when you say "a nurse is a nurse." Gender...
Hello bonta, Like you, I can see that nursing appears to be a profession predominantly occupied by women. I believe the culture is changing but it will be a while until employment equity reach...

I understand what you are saying SnowyJ, and rest assured I am not accusing you of anything. My point was only that in some circumstances , having CPS involved in a family can have far more reaching...

I agree with you that CPS may not be the big bad wolf, but there is another side to this which appears to have been ignored. For having experienced dealing with CPS as a youngster myself as well as...
There is something fundamentally ironic about this thread but I just can seems to be able to put my finger on it. I'll have to think on it. In the mean time, Praised, be a duck. Or learn to grow a...
Pixie.RN, I was getting the feeling that different standards were being applied in different areas so let me ask you the same question I ask Nonyvole: what happen when the person refuse to undress?...
I think you have already answered your own question, cphillipslpn. If it makes you uncomfortable has a patient to have someone standing that close, there's a pretty good chance that is also how...
