Are male nurses becoming more respected in American society? Should their be a new name for "male nurse"? |
I'm a male thinking of getting into the nursing profession and was wondering what the attitudes are by co-workers and patients about male nurses. My experience I find male nurses to be a lot more stable, less emotional and professional. Also should a new job title be created for a nurse who is a male?, since I realized that the word "nurse" seems to be thought of as totally female. It's the same thing that took place when females entered in "male" professions in the 70 and 80's They are definitely treated with respect, especially in the hospital environment. And nursing requires a lot of heavy lifting, especially depending on what area you plan on going into. A lot of male nurses I know also work in pretty high stress environments, like the ER or ICU, and I don't think they feel "girly" at all saving lives. My dad is a nurse, and no one gives him any trouble. its all good, just get use to being called Focker alot. I think they get more respect. All nurses that are competent get respect from the people they work for male or female. There is still a little lingering of the stigma. Guys know it and many joke about it but some older patients will also have prejudges. As for changing the name, I agress though the liberals will not. Females will scream if that occurs but males really accomodated to then back in the day for at the very least, changing ___-man into ____-person. I think that a registered medical provider or something to that effect may be a good change. I don't know. Be a nurse hook up with all the chicks in you classes and in you work place and make a ton of cash. Call them murses. or manurse. or nurster or nursor. trust me it works. I'm a nurse and I feel that we are treated the same with the same level of professionalism as the males. I think most male nurses (I work with) are great and I like having them around. Good luck on your career and I wish you all the best. |
