OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

Do you think that because you're a male and less likely to go into OB that you shouldn't be required to learn OB/Maternal?

Are you saying that doctors who plan to specialize in peds shouldn't have to learn adult physiology?

Stop being a pompous ass and take the opportunity to learn the material relevant to your PROFESSION even if you don't see OB being your CAREER. Nursing is a profession that has set standards of knowledge that all people going into the profession need to learn regardless of their ******* gender or career aspirations.

You're the kind of person who probably thinks that they know better than everyone else. That kind of ego and thinking can lead to serious mistakes.

You're still a student. Do your damn part to learn the bare minimum to get into the profession, and get off your high horse. Stop being rude to these people who have already finished the training and have worked the damn job.

You seem like a complainer, suck it up. Maternity is not like any class you've taken, you've learned about a woman's body but forget what you think you know. Everything is changed in the body and a child and mother are at risk. You will get these patients even if you don't go into the field. Get over your attitude and learn something. Maybe you'll gain some perspective. You won't enjoy every class but I garuntee you'll need knowledge from every course you take. Nursing school gives everyone an equal opportunities to find there field that means psych, peds, med surge, and MATERNAL. Plus Nclex can be heavy in OB questions because it isn't just "basic" anatomy it's a specialty for a reason.

Yeah. I suck because I'm a dude who is spending about $1000 in tuition plus $350 on e-books and 100+ clinical/simulation hours + class time to take a semester long course in a specialty where men have a 1% job outlook.

You don't know me at all from an internet post. I promise.

I don't think it's the 1% job outlook you care about, I think you just don't want to take OB, amiright? Well, I didn't want to take psych either 30+ years ago, and I wasn't too crazy about med-surg . But my school required me to take them to get my degree, so I did. You can act like an infant and whine about it or you can just buck up. You're not going to change the curriculum of every nursing program in the world. AND perhaps you'll like it, some of the best NICU nurse I know are men. Good luck to you, but better luck to your patients, I really hope your attitude doesn't come across to them.
