During clinicals on a pediatric floor, I entered the room and introduced myself to the mother and her 3 children. The youngest asked me, "Are you a Doctor?" I smiled and said, "No sir, I am a Nursing student." He laughed hysterically. I smiled again, looked at the mother, then looked at the little boy and asked, "why is that funny?" He said, "You're not a nurse. Only girls are nurses." ... ...
It was at that moment, I realized my entire life was a lie.
Men who are empathetic, gentle, and kind in general are the strongest and toughest men I know. In fact, my favorite nurse practioner is a guy! He is such a good listener and good at what he does. We need more guys who are not afraid to be empathetic and we need more guys in nursing!
I’m a male nurse and have been for 19 years. I’ve worked in almost every aspect of nursing, hospitals from MedSurg to ER to ICU to peds to post partum to OR to PACU, Nursing home, home health. Cool calm, empathetic, team players, no drama, no backbiting, no rumors, no hospital politics, no once a month Bad moods etc. etc. etc. Only one time was I fortunate enough to work a 12 hour shift with an all male staff, smoothest shift and my 19 years of nursing. God bless male nurses! We rock!! Pack your
Loved this. This was motivational to me! I’ve been a nurse for a little over a year and sometimes I get really discouraged. This relit the fire within 🔥🔥!!!
I'm a girl aspiring to firefighting and can relate a lot. Couldn't agree more with what you've said regarding being a man in your profession. Well said!
