What do you think of this statement?

Can't say i completely agree that the male nurse on our floor gets more respect or is treated better.

I've overheard several patients ask if he got rejected from med school. He's been hit on by several homosexual patients (he's straight). This hasn't been a problem with the females. But it's just my observation that when people come in and learn that he is their RN for the night, they look at him completely differently, and not in a good way either. And it'll be hard enough with my own stereotypes and all, but i've seen it and even he has said it, that the women are taken more seriously than he is. But that's just one case in point.

Is this instructor male or female??

Its funny after all these years everyone is still afraid of the white man.

I guess its a good time for me as a white male to enter the nursing field

Kinda off the topic but kinda not...

I read in a magazine that male nurses are paid higher (on the average) than women nurses. I was in Information Technology before I went back to school and I have witnesses firsthand the pay uh.. 'differences.' But I was shocked to read it was the same way in nursing. In fact it was in a lot of women dominated career fields... (teaching etc etc..) Pathetic huh?
