Currently I am working as a male BSN in India. Personally I feel that while working with the commuinity, clients usually prefer to communicate more with the male nurses. 20 years of nursing carrier in my life I never find any client or patient who dont prefer male nurses. In our state there is a male vs female nurses bias. Male nurses have least option for upgrading their education. ie male nurses are not allowed to join midwifery course !!!!! eventhough male gynecologist can practise and male nurses are not!!!!!! This type lack of training block the international carreer of male nurses. We 40 male nurses have cleared CGFNS Exam with/above 600 marks and we cannot go abroad because in our transcript shows lack of theoritical and clinical experience in Maternal, Child & obstratic nursing. Not single nursing shool is ready to provide experience in above mentioned subject only because we are not allowed to practise MCH.!!!!!!!!! I often see state nursing policy favours female nurses only in my state. To raise hour hand on policies or issues many times we have to go to the court. which is very expensive in India. Furthermore, overall 10 percent male nurses are serving in our community. usally they are excellent in their education carrier, they are hard working, good ablity to establish good contact with medical communities , other staffs, community and patients. Majority of them received awards from the community. While working with female nurses we never find any problem with each other. But I do not understand why regulatory bodies are making such policies.
