Every once in a while I get an email from a man asking for my thoughts on what sort of career nursing is for a man. It seems to me that in 2020 this kind of thinking is a bit arcane. On the other hand, who am I to judge?
If you are wondering what I think, well, men in nursing is a natural fit for almost all of the same reasons it is for a woman. But being real, there may be issues in the workplace when one sex is dominant in the employee mix.
This article talks about males in nursing. And for a true life story about a great guy who is an RN see the other link below.
This might be the best men in nursing article I have ever read. The New York Times has just published it.
If you have someone (a man LOL) who may want to consider nursing and might have reservations….well this is a very encouraging article.
From a personal perspective, I happen to think it is a great profession for anyone. This guy to the left is a pretty good example LOL He is known as The Singing Nurse.
This article addresses the “stigma” (we men are a real pain in the ass) of working in a female-dominated profession.
I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on this. HERE is a link to the article.
Lemmeno!
