Funny!! I have been an RN since '96 and have truly come to appreciate males in our profession. Personally, I think the term "nurse" is outdated, yet all the other professional titles have been taken. The word Nurse insinuates a female and somewhat physical and intimate connection. How about "DA"/ doctor's assistant? DIAP? (Do It All Person). ...LOLP (License on line personnel?)....
This is so true. Society views male nurses as less of a man sometimes it seems. But in progressive states a male nurse is seen as the alpha and bread winner it’s so weird. So many male nurses would sleep around and impregnate the staff from techs to nurses it’s crazy. Worked with a guy who had 3 women pregnant around the same time at our job. Very odd nursing culture. But from my experience has been like yours, many women would hit on me at work too, and or flirt. Always ask you to help with the heavy lifting or psych patients. It’s weird but many patients behave like kids, they see a female and act up, but see a male walk in and start behaving. Lol
So do most women co workers- view male nurses as lesser men. The older and sometimes younger female ones look for reasons to get you dismissed from your position ASAP. They’ll lie and scheme to no end. Do not underestimate
@@michaelkitchen6000 the female nurses look at you as being less than a physician or even a PA so they do look at you as a lesser man. i worked as a guard in a prison hospital (yes it was a 4 floor prison/hospital and i grew to look down on the ALL the LPNs (every last one of them) and 75% of the RNs as absolute jumped up trash (and i view females as trash to begin with).
I've been a male RN for fifteen years now. Did the travel nursing for seven years. I've dealt with all the same things. Some of the places I've been are 100% female dominated, and they absolutely hate male nurses. They try to get them fired right away. I've been other places where they absolutely love me.
I'm in lpn school and worked last a cna for a while. I quickly realized they'll lie, spread rumors to make you the bad guy. Especially if you don't talk much. Already wondering if I should have done accounting instead.
@@wayne9585How it going so far bro? I’m a 21 yr old guy and starting to go to college soon (fall 2024) to start my prep for nursing program. Any tips you can give me?
Sorry but like any job you need to prove yourself worthy. If a female goes to become a mechanic, all eyes will be on her until she can demonstrate competency in that field.. You walk in all cocky , you can count on being in the spotlight. Remember nurses eat their young is what my instructors have taught us and it is so true. Stand your ground and don't go in with a know if all attitude. Help your co-workers is a big plus ! They will accept you.
My father was an ED charge nurse. He garnered a lot of respect from his fellow nursing staff, doctors & the administrators. His patients loved him dearly. His bedside manner was impeccable & his fight against the reaper’s CONSTANT gaze-heroic. I used to sit in the EMS waiting lounge and watch him work. He was amazing. It was a blessing to see him control the emergency room in the most chaotic situations. His calm demeanor in the heat of the moment seemed unreal. I watched him usher lives back to health, and escort souls to what comes next with compassion. Don’t discount male nurses at all. At 40, I myself am pursuing a career in nursing. It’s never too late to help others heal! ✌️
Before becoming an RN, I started as a CNA in long-term care. The residents (patients) are more picky about things because that is their home and their life. A few female residents would refuse to let me do certain care tasks with them. So I would go work with another resident while a female CNA did that task. I was expecting that to happen. But the thing that surprised me both in long-term care and acute care was that there were female patients who preferred to have a male nurse. There were patients who told me that male nurses take the time to listen to patient concerns and then take positive actions. Or some patients simply stated "Male nurses are more caring."
I love my male nurses! I’m fortunate to work on a unit that has a very good female to make nurse ratio. We also take turns with unpleasant patients. I am so sorry you had some of these experiences just because you’re a man. I hope to see this change in the future. Thank you for everything you do!
People saying "I'm not doing it for the money", that's a lie! Of course there are other reasons why someone becomes or wants to become a nurse, but the money aspect would be in the mix too. You want to be a nurse because you want to help and care for people, but you also want a job that will support yourself and your family financially. I don't care what anyone tells me because 99% of the people wouldn't become a nurse or any of these health professions if it didn't pay well to the point where it didn't financially support them. Come on now, let's not act like money isn't a factor in one's career.
I have been a male nurse for almost 2 years now but it’s crazy how we all live the same life lol, but being a male nurse has it’s good days and bad days. Yes a lot of single women in this profession lol but I’m married and I have to make sure my co workers know that all the time. I don’t want nothing to do with them outside of work and i don’t want to be a work husband.
I’m a girl and I am just a nursing student right now, but if someone gets offended at anything you’ve mentioned, then they’re delusional for thinking most male nurses don’t experience those things. When I was working as a tech in ms/tele/covid, I would witness many of those things happen to the male nurses. I have met so many girls while in school who chose nursing because of the salary (I’m from California btw) and while yes, I think that is very important to consider in a career field, it’s like you said, they get burnt out so quick and end up being so miserable that it starts to reflect on their patient care.
Yep Cali nurses make a lot of money but the stuff you have to do in that field is not easy money. There are other fields outside of healthcare that make way more money with less stress.
My husband just went through valve replacement/CABG surgery at the VA and I was so pleasantly surprised to see that the majority of his nurses were male...literally about 60 even 70%. I thought it was awesome, most of the vets are male and do better with male caregivers.
I'm a male nurse of 4 years now. I can definitely relate to everything in the video. The worst part for me though, as a man, is listening to the intrigues and drama in the unit, about who said and did what to whom and stuff like that, when you are really just trying to do your job well. Fortunately I'm starting in CRNA school in a couple of months, to get a more interesting job with higher autonomy and more dedicated colleagues (i work in a PCU at the moment). Any tips for me on the journey ahead?
I've had some female nurses tell me some wild things about PACU and the recovery rooms. You mentioned you work in PACU. Female nurses have told me of a cute guy comes through post surgery, and is still unconscious under anesthesia that a bunch of female nurses will come through and lift up his gown and laugh gawk or mock him. How often does this occur? And is there an atmosphere if you do report them are you gonna be Black balled by female nurses? It does occur frequently and its sexual assault in my opinion to expose unconscious male patients like that just for laughs or just to sexually degrade them. It's sad cuz guys find out about what happens to them under anesthesia and they will just avoid or push off necessary medical treatment because they dont want to endure that embarrassment and will likely die earlier in life because of it. All because female nurses think its funny to degrade unconscious Male patients and nobody reports them. It's sad! REALLY sad!
This is not true for all nurses. And let me share something with you ......if you had an equal ratio of male nurses and female nurses working with you, then I'm sure you men would be talking about guy drama crap. Because you are a minority it is easier to talk about the woman chatting about drama stuff. Add in a few more men which I have observed and that conversation turns to male drama.
Being a guy in nursing school I can relate to all of these to a T. I also deal with a lot of hate as well, since quite a few are womanist and despise me for just being a guy thinking I’m going to infringe on their career opportunities. I shrug them out and crush them in my clinicals and kindness 🤫
Roger I’m going through the same thing you wouldn’t even believe it. When your the alpha male in a room full of females there are bound to be some that are after you, and not in the way you want. Keep radiating confidence and continue focusing on nursing.
As a male nurse I agree with your 5 things. The only patients that have a hard time with a male nurse tend to be a lot older. And back in the day it was mostly women in the nursing field. And I'm talking about the 1950's And I usually get the heavier/ violent/ inappropriate patients as well.
Wow, so sorry to here this experience for male nurses. You would think in this day/age gender should not matter. Please keep up the great work of patient care!
As an Australian male nursing student currently on placement, I can strongly attest that a lot of what was said in the video is correct. Unfortunately, I have encountered several female nurses who are openly sexist toward men and can be very critical of men being in the profession. I've discovered there are several reasons for this, based on my experiences. One is that some female nurses have gone through a messy divorce and have come out the other side with a bitter and hostile attitude toward their ex, which they then extend toward men in general and male patients and male nurses in particular. Another is some female nurses are completely unprepared for what nursing care really involves, i.e., 16-hour double shifts, working weekends, graveyard shifts, etc. But above all else, there does seem to be a prevailing feminist attitude entrenched within the profession - particularly among generation-Z and the Millennials - that implies women are better nurses than men, which is clearly nonsense. I was once warned about this by a retired female nurse, who told me the biggest problem I would face while working in a hospital is not the patients or the health authority I would be working for, but the nurses themselves, who can be blatantly sexist. She also said there is a lot of back-stabbing, gossiping, and behind-the-scenes workplace bullying going on in nursing today, and I need to be prepared for it. Unfortunately, she was right. However, as harrowing as all that sounds, I must emphasise the fact that the majority of female nurses are great; in fact, some of them I would walk on hot coals if they asked me to do it, such is the respect I have for them. Just be mindful of the realities in the nursing workforce today.
Another excellent and informative video. I appreciate the energy you bring with your videos and the overall setup! It's motivating to watch you speak on the topic of males in nursing as I'm applying to nursing school this month (deadline is March 5th) and will become an RN with interests in working ICU, ER, and maybe psych. Travel nursing seems like it could be a great avenue to go down for a few years as well. The ultimate goal is NP or CRNA; I will make that decision after a few years of experience as an RN, though. I'm making the switch to healthcare at age 34 after spending almost a decade in law enforcement (USAF, Sheriff's Department, and State Penitentiary). Keep the videos rolling in; I've subscribed!
I've had male nurses before, and I've had no problem with them. It's an old fashioned idea to think there's anything unusual about a male nurse. Sometimes I see male receptionists which didn't used to be the case, but the roles are pretty well interchangeable now.
….been an RN for almost a year now and as a female RN I absolutely love my male RNs!!!! I love working with the guys and being able to cut loose and be myself! I tend to trust a lot more of my male RNs than female RNs, that’s for sure!!! Thank you to all the awesome men who decided to step up and become a nurse, because we need even more awesome guys to join the world of nursing! I definitely felt like my male RNs had my back way more often than not, and that is an absolute blessing in the nursing shark tank. 💕❤️❤️🙏🏻☕️🎉❤️❤️💕
I never understood what the big deal was. A nurse is a nurse whether male or female. I never cared if my nurse was a man or woman as long as they were nice and on point.
Might I add my one thing about being a female nurse sometimes male faculty think I like them or am flirting when I’m actually just existing, smiling at them and being cordial. So sometimes I have to scale back on smiling too much and engage less just so I wouldn’t be taken the wrong way cause I’m very serious about my career and being categorized based on how some female nurses may present themselves is annoying. I’ve never utilized anyone as a work husband or tried to tell a male nurse my business in hopes that he could solve my problems. But you wouldn’t believe the males who swear up and down that I like them when all I’m doing is smiling and being cordial. Smh
It's damn hard work for very little reward. My wife was a nurse. and my brother-in-law is a sister. It's horrible on the body (backbreaking) and soul destroying (dying children and babies were the worse).
It takes a real man to do bedside nursing. I would rather work with a whole unit of men Who are nurses than work with women who are nurses. A group of women under stress create a whole scenario of stress, anxiety, and female nurses are bullies. Not all nurses are bullies. I think the women who have been on the inpatient unit for many years, for whatever reason, Are mean and angry and they take it out on the younger staff members. One night I arrived at work and I realized I was the only female on the floor. I was absolutely delighted.They did not want to claw my eyes out. Women can be so petty. Give me a unit full of men, as they do not bring drama with them. To all of the women who are seasoned nurses, I know everybody isn’t a bully, the unit only needs one bully who is in charge and the night is miserable.
I can only imagine how it'll be when men start making up a significant portion of nurses. I've overheard some pretty nasty comments about male nurses from some female nurses. One being "men are only good to have in this field because they drive up wages due to being paid more" lol what? Am I missing out fellas? I make the same as my female colleagues. 🤔 That said, Ive seen all the things you mentioned. Most of my female coworkers are awesome and id take a drunken punch for them, I just have to remind them that, most of the time, I'm completely oblivious to the subtle drama they try to drop on me. 🤓
How do you feel about nurses who don't chose to get vaccinated (any kind) but still have a desire to serve and help others? Are there certain departments or clinics they'd be better suited for? More of a naturopath / holistic office?
NC boards nursing publication told DONs NOT to hire make nurses because they were high risk. I called the board to complain and they blew me off. When I said I wanted to contact my representative who we vote for they said no. I asked if I could write a letter to the editor they said no, so there was no recourse. Until Men demand equal treatment we will continue to be treated like dogs
This is all so true. I'm an RN too and all of this is annoying. I've been out of the game for a while but about to go back. Sounds like nothings changed.
this is something that I needed to see because I will be a nurse one day but if I ever cross paths with someone who believes that a man can't be a nurse I would educate them on that topic because it's the 21st-century people you can be anything you want to be.
the last time I was in the hospital the ER nurse, bedside nurse, discharging nurse, was all men. Male nurses are nurses. I was appreciative and received the best nursing care. A nurse is a nurse, no matter the gender, color, creed. For goodness sakes.
Im an occupational therapist which is field much more female dominated than nursing. All what you mentioned is true for males in a female dominated profession.
Women dont want a male nurse and you have to trade for a more acute patient. Then you get a patient that doesnt care. The lady needs a bath, the healthy husband stands there and watches but doesnt help. During preceptorship, the female nurse would rip the patients clothes off and say bath time not even considering if the patient did not want to be exposed to a male. People got really upset.
What makes you think an acute female patient wants a male nurse??? I seethed after a car accident, the only male nurse in the whole floor was assigned to me!!! 4'8' (short, really, my husband is 8'2' and willing to help. I din´t need a male nurse at all but they insisted. I had to threaten to press charges
Going into nursing now. Its sounds like you gotta have tough skin. Trying to remind myself to not be a smart ass with people but if these are questions i’ll get 🤣🤣🤣
In North America, most physicians under the age of 40 are female, so a person would have to be quite unaccustomed to the healthcare system to make that assumption.
While I'm inclined to agree that I'd pick nursing over warehouse any day, I do feel the need to point out that shipments of goods can be packed, and subsequently broken down, in ergonomical ways. You can put things together in the most user friendly way, and the person who came before you probably did exactly that. Patients can't really be broken down into easy to handle units. The weight distribution isn't ideal. They're awkward, and they have limbs that flop all over the place. Unlike boxes, they can get violent and kick, punch, and bite in the middle of transit, causing you to move in awkward ways to try to balance between moving the patient and protecting yourself. I'd wager that you've never had a 300lb box whose knees buckled on the way to the bathroom, leaving you to singlehandedly catch it and try to haul its ass back to bed. Or the dead weight 400lb stroke patient who you are trying to hold up with one hand because you need the other hand free to wipe their ass and place fresh linens. It's plenty physical, it's 12 hours long, and because of many factors (including the fact that it deals with life and death; hospital admins are bastards who will staff short in the name of profit; and nursing as a profession hasn't really embraced the union), those 12+ hours may be spent on your feet the entire time, without a single break. We try to make things easier on ourselves with adjustable beds, slide boards and mechanical lifts, but at a certain point it comes down to the fact that humans aren't ideal objects to manhandle, and that's just the way it is. Contrast with working in a warehouse where your duty is always to move heavy objects... but you have a lot more control over it. Things are packed into pallets that can be moved with forklifts and pallet jacks. You can practice good mechanics because the goods you are moving were packed into boxes that were designed to be carried by a person. Anecdotally I've know quite a few people who switched from stereotypically physical careers (welding, construction) into nursing who say that they severely underestimated how much it would make their backs hurt.
Ive experienced people assuming you are a sexual predator. and to the point of "work husband" i really dont need to know everyones cycle. had a heavy day? thats awesome. pls keep it too yourself
Great video man! I agree with you, I love that their are a lot of male nurses, I wish I could have went to college to be a Anesthesiologist because I really care about helping people, I would not be in Anesthesiologist for the money, I really care about helping people! Since It was hard for me go to college to be a Anesthesiologist after I graduated high school in 08 because of my cerebral palsy, I’m gonna start Donating to the Anesthesiologist Foundation in June, you’re a awesome CRNA! You rock! Have you seen the all electric Chevy Silverado? It’s very nice! I love all electric cars! They are better for your health Especially me with my cerebral palsy! I think you’re cute, just saying lol
Wait until you start working in a jail/prison and you are a male nurse. Since the typical stereotypes are men are doctors and females are nurses, here you are a male nurse (murse). This really screws some inmates up. They think you're weak, a pussy and they can walk all over you. Others don't know what to think. I've been a murse for 31 years so far and back in the day when I worked in facilities it was amazing how, all of a sudden, when I first start on a unit or floor, the female nurses/cna's/pct cannot lift or turn some patients. Every single time. Then you have some female patients don't want a male nurse. In homecare I've had families who didn't want male nurse taking care of their kid. It's amazing how much crap we have to deal with on top of that a typical nurse has to deal with.
I always get the bariatric patients and get switched because a patient makes a sexual advance towards a female nurse. You gotta love the double standards
I would go in with my student nurse badge when I was in school with my training nurse and they would ignore here and constantly ask me what was going on and call me Dr…. Happens all the time but awkward…
A article in the north Carolina nursing magazine told of nursing management NOT to hire Male nurses who had over 10 years experience, were over age 40 and had attended school in NC.
I'm a man and I have been working in the medical field as a CNA for eight years. I keep thinking about nursing school, but I see all the BS that goes into the job and the drama, and I can say that it almost doesn't seem like it would be for me. As you mentioned, working in an environment with mostly women can just be draining with the excessive gossip, drama and cattiness. Honestly, there are times I really want to get out of the medical field in general and try something different. But, I have tried retail and food but neither of those are for me, either. Honestly, it's just easiest to stick with what I know for the time being.
does it at least pay well? Im considering the medical industry bc I really like the idea of 3 12 hour shifts plus the good health insurance. I don't have any schooling unfortunately, so Im looking into CNA(which seems like its called patient care tech now) or a cardiac arrhythmia tech or ekg tech.
@@Katie-vy5rd yea I’ve been a cna now at a hospital for two months. Hardest job I ever had. Overworked underpaid under appreciated. Abused from some nurses. A lot of these nurses are overworked themselves and stressed out. Leaning towards respiratory therapist school. Those people seem much happier. If I do that and work and extra shift every other week I’m making just as much as the nurses
@@Njliving22 great plan! I'll have to say though , when I do work with males, mostly , it's a breath of fresh air and since I was raised with two brothers I get along better with most, not all, but mostly. I should've listened to myself a long time ago telling me that I would be working with mostly other females.. oh well.. I can always look into engineering or something maybe somewhere out in nature, just me and the bears..... no charting, that too, for me,has made nursing or patient care such a turn off. I have nonidea what interests you but there's one thing I look back and wonder if pathology assistant p (there's a program at Duke) was something I would have done well at , too late now but ypu might explore if science is your thing.
I’m nervous about the patients being inappropriate with me 😫😂. I have to remember that some do have psychological problems. Also, yes! Families always think the male nurses are doctors and females are all nurses🤣😅. We definitely need more male nurses.
Male in nursing school right now. Just started, so I don't have a lot of experience yet but I feel very valued, like to the extent that I am assumed to know more than my female counterparts, just because I'm a man. I'm not going to complain, because I enjoy feeling appreciated, but it's kinda unfair to my really talented and driven female classmates. I just want to give a shoutout to all my female nurse colleagues doing an amazing job every day out there. You guys rock, and I'm proud to share a profession with you. EDIT: Back after first year. Finished second semester exam today. Had the highest grade in class first semester, plan on crushing it again this time. Still love the work, but I have really grown to dislike a certain kind of bidchy female nurse. You know the kind, f*ck*ng bitter, cold-hearted, mean people who have no business working with people.
I like the video but I got to disagree with the whole money thing I am almost 40. I’ve had a lot of different jobs over 70 and I wish I had my nursing degree. I might go back for it if I can but I have an associates degree I can’t do anything with, I’ve got nothing to rely on. I just do gig work like DoorDash. My life sucks so if I had something like that, I would be so much better. Yes it’s worth the sacrifice. I would do it for the money in a heartbeat.
If men made the comments the female nurses make, they'd be standing in front of the board in half a jiff. I was at the nurses station and listened to two women talk about the new boyfriends sexual performance. When they saw that I was listening and not happy about it, one says to me, "Get used to it. That's what happens when you work with women." Management did nothing.
i was a guard in a prison hospital for 6 years. I had to deal with the same thing, up to and including discovering how many females genuinely enjoy anal sex (my favorite was once a nurse emailed another nurse... an email that included her glowing love of anal sex.....and accidentally had all selected as recipient) why did you let it bother you instead of block it out? i hope you didn't go to management as a man.
@@runfayalife get this dude, your "fellow" man WILL hold you to standards of behavior this is commonly referred to as *Honor* i WILL tell you not to be a F*cking sniveling informant. going to management and complaining about something trivial is WOMEN'S work.
i unfortunately did not have that issue as acute hemodialysis nurse its more with technical issues related to iv insertion, breakdown of machines and schedule overtime almost a lot of issues work related
@@ciaran1659 Yes, male doctors are fine. They don’t get as up close and personal as nurses do. For example, when I was a little girl, I had to have my appendix out. A nurse would have to take me to the bathroom, and nurses cared for me at my bedside with bed baths and things like that. That’s embarrassing enough, but for a man to do all that, I would have been so embarrassed!
The supreme court ordered nursing schools to allow men into nursing schools but the fight against female discrimination against men is still socially acceptable
As a charge nurse I’m guilty for assigning male nurses with heavy or rude male patients. I’m also guilty for thinking of number 5. But typically one can tell the male nurses who are in it for the money vs those who love nursing.
Honestly im going to cna school. next month. tbh i am doing it just for the money. It was to help people at first but i realized people are freaking scumbags. so 🤷♂️
I think the name nurse has become anachronistic. It should be changed to fit in with the times and be more inclusive. Perhaps they could use the title Infirmary medic. Just a thought. I liked your video. I could easily imagine you doing a great job.
I married a beautiful classmate several years after graduation, but dated other classmates and coworkers as well before getting married…. I found it to be nothing but trouble, gossiping, backstabbing, 😂 , etc. best rule…keep it away from school and work unless it is the ONE!
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Nursing is for females. Hear me out though. I have been a male nurse for 15 years. Male physicians are the most arrogant and laugh when they work with male nurses. Male physicians prefer the surrounding of female nurses. But when they work with male nurses side by side with a patient, the flavor changes vs male physicians working with female nurses. This happens all the time. Went to become a PA and the male physicians still treat you like you are some joke. This is the gruesome side of being a male nurse. On the upside, female nurses love working with single, fit and attractive male nurses to lighten up the mood in the workplace. Downside, male physicians despise you for that. Nothing wrong being a male nurse. Just prepare for a different flavor of discrimination.
Solution: Work nights. No physician rounding, no working side by side with docs. Most of your correspondence will be over phone or through secure chat, if it happens at all. Still get the dynamic of being a rare male in an overwhelmingly female nursing unit. I think this applies moreso at a small hospital but still. After going nights and seeing the utter lack of admin, physicians, interdisciplinary staff (read: PT/OT), and just coming into work and doing your job, relatively few strings attached... I'll never go back to days
Well... I am very sorry to hear that and I know it's true, but I prefer female nurses as well a female doctors unless there is some serious, God forbid, operation. In this case I prefer a man
The third one has happened to me a few times I’m like no I’m not going to school to be a doctor. I’m a nurse it’s like people can’t comprehend that or don’t want to.
I don't hate you buddy. I mean you are hated by every female nurse in the facility so you already have plenty. Tell the girls to leave your burrito alone
If anyone asks, “Why did you become a male nurse?”
Reply, “It was too complicated to become a female nurse.”
Or tell them the operation to become a female nurse was too expensive
👀
Funny!! I have been an RN since '96 and have truly come to appreciate males in our profession. Personally, I think the term "nurse" is outdated, yet all the other professional titles have been taken.

LOL soo funny :)
Why did you go to nursing school? Answer: That’s where the girls are!
This is so true. Society views male nurses as less of a man sometimes it seems. But in progressive states a male nurse is seen as the alpha and bread winner it’s so weird. So many male nurses would sleep around and impregnate the staff from techs to nurses it’s crazy. Worked with a guy who had 3 women pregnant around the same time at our job. Very odd nursing culture. But from my experience has been like yours, many women would hit on me at work too, and or flirt. Always ask you to help with the heavy lifting or psych patients. It’s weird but many patients behave like kids, they see a female and act up, but see a male walk in and start behaving. Lol
In progressive states. Oh piss off son.
PS, there is nothing "alpha" about knocking up several women at the same time.
Alpha is knocking up your wife.
So do most women co workers- view male nurses as lesser men. The older and sometimes younger female ones look for reasons to get you dismissed from your position ASAP. They’ll lie and scheme to no end. Do not underestimate
@@michaelkitchen6000 the female nurses look at you as being less than a physician or even a PA so they do look at you as a lesser man.
i worked as a guard in a prison hospital (yes it was a 4 floor prison/hospital and i grew to look down on the ALL the LPNs (every last one of them) and 75% of the RNs as absolute jumped up trash (and i view females as trash to begin with).
@Joe Mama R U A Simp?
This is facts
I've been a male RN for fifteen years now. Did the travel nursing for seven years. I've dealt with all the same things. Some of the places I've been are 100% female dominated, and they absolutely hate male nurses. They try to get them fired right away. I've been other places where they absolutely love me.

Sorry but like any job you need to prove yourself worthy. If a female goes to become a mechanic, all eyes will be on her until she can demonstrate competency in that field.. You walk in all cocky , you can count on being in the spotlight. Remember nurses eat their young is what my instructors have taught us and it is so true. Stand your ground and don't go in with a know if all attitude. Help your co-workers is a big plus ! They will accept you.

My father was an ED charge nurse. He garnered a lot of respect from his fellow nursing staff, doctors & the administrators. His patients loved him dearly. His bedside manner was impeccable & his fight against the reaper’s CONSTANT gaze-heroic.
I used to sit in the EMS waiting lounge and watch him work. He was amazing. It was a blessing to see him control the emergency room in the most chaotic situations. His calm demeanor in the heat of the moment seemed unreal. I watched him usher lives back to health, and escort souls to what comes next with compassion.
Don’t discount male nurses at all.
At 40, I myself am pursuing a career in nursing. It’s never too late to help others heal! ✌️
This generation is so lucky, because you can easily access inside information like this before selecting a lifetime career.
It's a great asset!
If you decide on a career based on what others might think of you, you’re childish.
Yes but the confusion in the world right now is exponential. But videos like these of course makes things at least leadable.
@@BoltCRNA we thought the hospitals give you mobile mechanical tools to move patients
Before becoming an RN, I started as a CNA in long-term care. The residents (patients) are more picky about things because that is their home and their life. A few female residents would refuse to let me do certain care tasks with them. So I would go work with another resident while a female CNA did that task. I was expecting that to happen. But the thing that surprised me both in long-term care and acute care was that there were female patients who preferred to have a male nurse. There were patients who told me that male nurses take the time to listen to patient concerns and then take positive actions. Or some patients simply stated "Male nurses are more caring."

Interesting...
Thanks for sharing :)
I love my male nurses! I’m fortunate to work on a unit that has a very good female to make nurse ratio. We also take turns with unpleasant patients. I am so sorry you had some of these experiences just because you’re a man. I hope to see this change in the future. Thank you for everything you do!
Thanks Cara.
And I would love your instagram
People saying "I'm not doing it for the money", that's a lie! Of course there are other reasons why someone becomes or wants to become a nurse, but the money aspect would be in the mix too. You want to be a nurse because you want to help and care for people, but you also want a job that will support yourself and your family financially. I don't care what anyone tells me because 99% of the people wouldn't become a nurse or any of these health professions if it didn't pay well to the point where it didn't financially support them. Come on now, let's not act like money isn't a factor in one's career.
💯 agree
This is how I started watching videos about nursing…. The money. That’s it I want six figs somehow
Well duh, you probably wouldn’t do your favorite thing ever as a career for 30k a year
In my country, nurses receive a really lousy pay and they quit in drones (even more than in the US and the UK)
I have been a male nurse for almost 2 years now but it’s crazy how we all live the same life lol, but being a male nurse has it’s good days and bad days. Yes a lot of single women in this profession lol but I’m married and I have to make sure my co workers know that all the time. I don’t want nothing to do with them outside of work and i don’t want to be a work husband.
That part
Wow do that many women throw themselves?
@@ms.mtruth6169 i wanna know this too, i hope the answer is yes lol
I’m a girl and I am just a nursing student right now, but if someone gets offended at anything you’ve mentioned, then they’re delusional for thinking most male nurses don’t experience those things. When I was working as a tech in ms/tele/covid, I would witness many of those things happen to the male nurses. I have met so many girls while in school who chose nursing because of the salary (I’m from California btw) and while yes, I think that is very important to consider in a career field, it’s like you said, they get burnt out so quick and end up being so miserable that it starts to reflect on their patient care.
Yep Cali nurses make a lot of money but the stuff you have to do in that field is not easy money. There are other fields outside of healthcare that make way more money with less stress.
Yea the “this is suited for woman” is bull.
I don’t trust these damn TikTok nurses
@@rjsmusicstudio4716like?
My husband just went through valve replacement/CABG surgery at the VA and I was so pleasantly surprised to see that the majority of his nurses were male...literally about 60 even 70%. I thought it was awesome, most of the vets are male and do better with male caregivers.
I'm a male nurse of 4 years now. I can definitely relate to everything in the video. The worst part for me though, as a man, is listening to the intrigues and drama in the unit, about who said and did what to whom and stuff like that, when you are really just trying to do your job well. Fortunately I'm starting in CRNA school in a couple of months, to get a more interesting job with higher autonomy and more dedicated colleagues (i work in a PCU at the moment). Any tips for me on the journey ahead?
Good luck on your journey.
I've had some female nurses tell me some wild things about PACU and the recovery rooms. You mentioned you work in PACU. Female nurses have told me of a cute guy comes through post surgery, and is still unconscious under anesthesia that a bunch of female nurses will come through and lift up his gown and laugh gawk or mock him. How often does this occur? And is there an atmosphere if you do report them are you gonna be Black balled by female nurses? It does occur frequently and its sexual assault in my opinion to expose unconscious male patients like that just for laughs or just to sexually degrade them. It's sad cuz guys find out about what happens to them under anesthesia and they will just avoid or push off necessary medical treatment because they dont want to endure that embarrassment and will likely die earlier in life because of it. All because female nurses think its funny to degrade unconscious Male patients and nobody reports them. It's sad! REALLY sad!
lol in my experience at my job the males are some of the biggest gossipers
How’s school going ?
This is not true for all nurses. And let me share something with you ......if you had an equal ratio of male nurses and female nurses working with you, then I'm sure you men would be talking about guy drama crap. Because you are a minority it is easier to talk about the woman chatting about drama stuff. Add in a few more men which I have observed and that conversation turns to male drama.
Being a guy in nursing school I can relate to all of these to a T. I also deal with a lot of hate as well, since quite a few are womanist and despise me for just being a guy thinking I’m going to infringe on their career opportunities. I shrug them out and crush them in my clinicals and kindness 🤫
Focusing on improving your knowledge and skills instead of responding to those who work against you is key.
Roger I’m going through the same thing you wouldn’t even believe it. When your the alpha male in a room full of females there are bound to be some that are after you, and not in the way you want. Keep radiating confidence and continue focusing on nursing.
! I have been a male nurse for about 25 years and am 100% in agreement with you!!
I’ve been picking up this vibe a lot during nursing school. Good video!
Awesome! Thank you!
As a male nurse I agree with your 5 things. The only patients that have a hard time with a male nurse tend to be a lot older. And back in the day it was mostly women in the nursing field. And I'm talking about the 1950's
And I usually get the heavier/ violent/ inappropriate patients as well.
Good to hear it wasn't just me.
Wow, so sorry to here this experience for male nurses. You would think in this day/age gender should not matter. Please keep up the great work of patient care!
As an Australian male nursing student currently on placement, I can strongly attest that a lot of what was said in the video is correct. Unfortunately, I have encountered several female nurses who are openly sexist toward men and can be very critical of men being in the profession. I've discovered there are several reasons for this, based on my experiences. One is that some female nurses have gone through a messy divorce and have come out the other side with a bitter and hostile attitude toward their ex, which they then extend toward men in general and male patients and male nurses in particular. Another is some female nurses are completely unprepared for what nursing care really involves, i.e., 16-hour double shifts, working weekends, graveyard shifts, etc. But above all else, there does seem to be a prevailing feminist attitude entrenched within the profession - particularly among generation-Z and the Millennials - that implies women are better nurses than men, which is clearly nonsense. I was once warned about this by a retired female nurse, who told me the biggest problem I would face while working in a hospital is not the patients or the health authority I would be working for, but the nurses themselves, who can be blatantly sexist. She also said there is a lot of back-stabbing, gossiping, and behind-the-scenes workplace bullying going on in nursing today, and I need to be prepared for it. Unfortunately, she was right.
However, as harrowing as all that sounds, I must emphasise the fact that the majority of female nurses are great; in fact, some of them I would walk on hot coals if they asked me to do it, such is the respect I have for them. Just be mindful of the realities in the nursing workforce today.
This is why i switched to imaging they can stay understaffed with their high-school Demeanor.
Another excellent and informative video. I appreciate the energy you bring with your videos and the overall setup! It's motivating to watch you speak on the topic of males in nursing as I'm applying to nursing school this month (deadline is March 5th) and will become an RN with interests in working ICU, ER, and maybe psych. Travel nursing seems like it could be a great avenue to go down for a few years as well. The ultimate goal is NP or CRNA; I will make that decision after a few years of experience as an RN, though. I'm making the switch to healthcare at age 34 after spending almost a decade in law enforcement (USAF, Sheriff's Department, and State Penitentiary). Keep the videos rolling in; I've subscribed!
Am 31 and thought am old to change to a new career but seeing your comment has pushed me to pursue, am interested with nursing too.
I've had male nurses before, and I've had no problem with them. It's an old fashioned idea to think there's anything unusual about a male nurse. Sometimes I see male receptionists which didn't used to be the case, but the roles are pretty well interchangeable now.
….been an RN for almost a year now and as a female RN I absolutely love my male RNs!!!! I love working with the guys and being able to cut loose and be myself! I tend to trust a lot more of my male RNs than female RNs, that’s for sure!!! Thank you to all the awesome men who decided to step up and become a nurse, because we need even more awesome guys to join the world of nursing! I definitely felt like my male RNs had my back way more often than not, and that is an absolute blessing in the nursing shark tank.
💕❤️❤️🙏🏻☕️🎉❤️❤️💕
I never understood what the big deal was. A nurse is a nurse whether male or female. I never cared if my nurse was a man or woman as long as they were nice and on point.
Might I add my one thing about being a female nurse sometimes male faculty think I like them or am flirting when I’m actually just existing, smiling at them and being cordial. So sometimes I have to scale back on smiling too much and engage less just so I wouldn’t be taken the wrong way cause I’m very serious about my career and being categorized based on how some female nurses may present themselves is annoying. I’ve never utilized anyone as a work husband or tried to tell a male nurse my business in hopes that he could solve my problems. But you wouldn’t believe the males who swear up and down that I like them when all I’m doing is smiling and being cordial. Smh
This is exactly why I avoid men in female dominated professions! It makes my skin crawl!
It's damn hard work for very little reward. My wife was a nurse. and my brother-in-law is a sister. It's horrible on the body (backbreaking) and soul destroying (dying children and babies were the worse).
I have to ask. Did you write that your brother in law is a sister?
You did write that...what does that mean?
It takes a real man to do bedside nursing. I would rather work with a whole unit of men Who are nurses than work with women who are nurses. A group of women under stress create a whole scenario of stress, anxiety, and female nurses are bullies. Not all nurses are bullies. I think the women who have been on the inpatient unit for many years, for whatever reason, Are mean and angry and they take it out on the younger staff members. One night I arrived at work and I realized I was the only female on the floor. I was absolutely delighted.They did not want to claw my eyes out. Women can be so petty. Give me a unit full of men, as they do not bring drama with them. To all of the women who are seasoned nurses, I know everybody isn’t a bully, the unit only needs one bully who is in charge and the night is miserable.
I can only imagine how it'll be when men start making up a significant portion of nurses. I've overheard some pretty nasty comments about male nurses from some female nurses.
One being "men are only good to have in this field because they drive up wages due to being paid more" lol what? Am I missing out fellas? I make the same as my female colleagues. 🤔
That said, Ive seen all the things you mentioned. Most of my female coworkers are awesome and id take a drunken punch for them, I just have to remind them that, most of the time, I'm completely oblivious to the subtle drama they try to drop on me. 🤓
How do you feel about nurses who don't chose to get vaccinated (any kind) but still have a desire to serve and help others? Are there certain departments or clinics they'd be better suited for? More of a naturopath / holistic office?
NC boards nursing publication told DONs NOT to hire make nurses because they were high risk. I called the board to complain and they blew me off. When I said I wanted to contact my representative who we vote for they said no. I asked if I could write a letter to the editor they said no, so there was no recourse. Until Men demand equal treatment we will continue to be treated like dogs
Sounds like a perfect lawsuit to me.
NC huh? Might want to consider getting out of “The South”!
This is all so true. I'm an RN too and all of this is annoying. I've been out of the game for a while but about to go back. Sounds like nothings changed.
Part of this problem is families often do not see enough of the doctors. The docs do their rounds early in the morning and then vanish.
this is something that I needed to see because I will be a nurse one day but if I ever cross paths with someone who believes that a man can't be a nurse I would educate them on that topic because it's the 21st-century people you can be anything you want to be.
the last time I was in the hospital the ER nurse, bedside nurse, discharging nurse, was all men. Male nurses are nurses. I was appreciative and received the best nursing care. A nurse is a nurse, no matter the gender, color, creed. For goodness sakes.
Im an occupational therapist which is field much more female dominated than nursing. All what you mentioned is true for males in a female dominated profession.
Women dont want a male nurse and you have to trade for a more acute patient. Then you get a patient that doesnt care. The lady needs a bath, the healthy husband stands there and watches but doesnt help. During preceptorship, the female nurse would rip the patients clothes off and say bath time not even considering if the patient did not want to be exposed to a male. People got really upset.
What makes you think an acute female
patient wants a male nurse??? I seethed
after a car accident, the only male nurse
in the whole floor was assigned to me!!!
4'8' (short, really, my husband is 8'2' and
willing to help. I din´t need a male nurse
at all but they insisted. I had to threaten
to press charges
I’ve told some several times I’m not a doctor, and they never figure it out.
I feel just as comfortable, sometimes more, when I get a male nurse (RN)
Going into nursing now. Its sounds like you gotta have tough skin. Trying to remind myself to not be a smart ass with people but if these are questions i’ll get 🤣🤣🤣
This is a interesting perspective I never knew all this went on. Thanks for sharing
Facts
Imagine being a female physician, and even after you describe who you are, everyone assumes you’re a nurse.
In North America, most physicians under the age of 40 are female, so a person would have to be quite unaccustomed to the healthcare system to make that assumption.
Go work in a warehouse for 10 years lol you’ll never complain about nursing again
While I'm inclined to agree that I'd pick nursing over warehouse any day, I do feel the need to point out that shipments of goods can be packed, and subsequently broken down, in ergonomical ways. You can put things together in the most user friendly way, and the person who came before you probably did exactly that.
Patients can't really be broken down into easy to handle units. The weight distribution isn't ideal. They're awkward, and they have limbs that flop all over the place. Unlike boxes, they can get violent and kick, punch, and bite in the middle of transit, causing you to move in awkward ways to try to balance between moving the patient and protecting yourself. I'd wager that you've never had a 300lb box whose knees buckled on the way to the bathroom, leaving you to singlehandedly catch it and try to haul its ass back to bed. Or the dead weight 400lb stroke patient who you are trying to hold up with one hand because you need the other hand free to wipe their ass and place fresh linens. It's plenty physical, it's 12 hours long, and because of many factors (including the fact that it deals with life and death; hospital admins are bastards who will staff short in the name of profit; and nursing as a profession hasn't really embraced the union), those 12+ hours may be spent on your feet the entire time, without a single break.
We try to make things easier on ourselves with adjustable beds, slide boards and mechanical lifts, but at a certain point it comes down to the fact that humans aren't ideal objects to manhandle, and that's just the way it is.
Contrast with working in a warehouse where your duty is always to move heavy objects... but you have a lot more control over it. Things are packed into pallets that can be moved with forklifts and pallet jacks. You can practice good mechanics because the goods you are moving were packed into boxes that were designed to be carried by a person.
Anecdotally I've know quite a few people who switched from stereotypically physical careers (welding, construction) into nursing who say that they severely underestimated how much it would make their backs hurt.
Ive experienced people assuming you are a sexual predator. and to the point of "work husband" i really dont need to know everyones cycle. had a heavy day? thats awesome. pls keep it too yourself
this profession is more heroic than being a fire fighter or police, you probably save more lives
Honestly I thinks if they change the word nurse to something else it might help.
It's amazing how some people get college degrees and careers but their brain apparently never left high school.
Great video man! I agree with you, I love that their are a lot of male nurses, I wish I could have went to college to be a Anesthesiologist because I really care about helping people, I would not be in Anesthesiologist for the money, I really care about helping people! Since It was hard for me go to college to be a Anesthesiologist after I graduated high school in 08 because of my cerebral palsy, I’m gonna start Donating to the Anesthesiologist Foundation in June, you’re a awesome CRNA! You rock! Have you seen the all electric Chevy Silverado? It’s very nice! I love all electric cars! They are better for your health Especially me with my cerebral palsy! I think you’re cute, just saying lol
Wait until you start working in a jail/prison and you are a male nurse. Since the typical stereotypes are men are doctors and females are nurses, here you are a male nurse (murse). This really screws some inmates up. They think you're weak, a pussy and they can walk all over you. Others don't know what to think. I've been a murse for 31 years so far and back in the day when I worked in facilities it was amazing how, all of a sudden, when I first start on a unit or floor, the female nurses/cna's/pct cannot lift or turn some patients. Every single time. Then you have some female patients don't want a male nurse. In homecare I've had families who didn't want male nurse taking care of their kid. It's amazing how much crap we have to deal with on top of that a typical nurse has to deal with.
With your blue eyes and attractive looks, I can see where you might become a work husband for your female nurses and techs.
I had the best male nurse when I was hospitalized a few years ago.
I always get the bariatric patients and get switched because a patient makes a sexual advance towards a female nurse. You gotta love the double standards
Being a male CNA. Has its pros and cons also.
I would go in with my student nurse badge when I was in school with my training nurse and they would ignore here and constantly ask me what was going on and call me Dr…. Happens all the time but awkward…
Its pretty dumb to go into something that offers lousy wages and limited chances for advancement. Worst decision I ever made.
A article in the north Carolina nursing magazine told of nursing management NOT to hire Male nurses who had over 10 years experience, were over age 40 and had attended school in NC.
Wow.. these kinds of thing just blow me away
Hi, I hope you don't mind, I used a clip of this video to raise awareness on this topic.
I'm a man and I have been working in the medical field as a CNA for eight years. I keep thinking about nursing school, but I see all the BS that goes into the job and the drama, and I can say that it almost doesn't seem like it would be for me. As you mentioned, working in an environment with mostly women can just be draining with the excessive gossip, drama and cattiness.
Honestly, there are times I really want to get out of the medical field in general and try something different. But, I have tried retail and food but neither of those are for me, either. Honestly, it's just easiest to stick with what I know for the time being.
does it at least pay well? Im considering the medical industry bc I really like the idea of 3 12 hour shifts plus the good health insurance. I don't have any schooling unfortunately, so Im looking into CNA(which seems like its called patient care tech now) or a cardiac arrhythmia tech or ekg tech.
@@Njliving22 cna work their rears off. Its very physical and hard on the back
@@Katie-vy5rd yea I’ve been a cna now at a hospital for two months. Hardest job I ever had. Overworked underpaid under appreciated. Abused from some nurses. A lot of these nurses are overworked themselves and stressed out. Leaning towards respiratory therapist school. Those people seem much happier. If I do that and work and extra shift every other week I’m making just as much as the nurses
@@Njliving22 great plan! I'll have to say though , when I do work with males, mostly , it's a breath of fresh air and since I was raised with two brothers I get along better with most, not all, but mostly. I should've listened to myself a long time ago telling me that I would be working with mostly other females.. oh well.. I can always look into engineering or something maybe somewhere out in nature, just me and the bears..... no charting, that too, for me,has made nursing or patient care such a turn off.
I have nonidea what interests you but there's one thing I look back and wonder if pathology assistant p (there's a program at Duke) was something I would have done well at , too late now but ypu might explore if science is your thing.
Ps pay you ask.. depends on the state and specialty
I'm a psych nurse and I'm automatically the "enforcer" on the unit...
I’m nervous about the patients being inappropriate with me 😫😂. I have to remember that some do have psychological problems. Also, yes! Families always think the male nurses are doctors and females are all nurses🤣😅. We definitely need more male nurses.
You'll learn how to set boundaries when patients get inappropriate.
@@BoltCRNA I believe so. I’m always initially speechless when they act out. How did you handle it?
I feel funny about going into nursing, however I want to practice anesthesia medicine and CRNA seems like a great field.
Nursing is a huge field with many perks and it's a rewarding profession.
Go to Med school?

Male in nursing school right now. Just started, so I don't have a lot of experience yet but I feel very valued, like to the extent that I am assumed to know more than my female counterparts, just because I'm a man.
I'm not going to complain, because I enjoy feeling appreciated, but it's kinda unfair to my really talented and driven female classmates.
I just want to give a shoutout to all my female nurse colleagues doing an amazing job every day out there.
You guys rock, and I'm proud to share a profession with you.
EDIT: Back after first year. Finished second semester exam today. Had the highest grade in class first semester, plan on crushing it again this time.
Still love the work, but I have really grown to dislike a certain kind of bidchy female nurse. You know the kind, f*ck*ng bitter, cold-hearted, mean people who have no business working with people.
You will get taken advantage of th0ugh it sucks
Just wnjoy the ride cna of 10
Years and a lpn
@@Hotstuffs54 how?
I like the video but I got to disagree with the whole money thing I am almost 40. I’ve had a lot of different jobs over 70 and I wish I had my nursing degree. I might go back for it if I can but I have an associates degree I can’t do anything with, I’ve got nothing to rely on. I just do gig work like DoorDash. My life sucks so if I had something like that, I would be so much better. Yes it’s worth the sacrifice. I would do it for the money in a heartbeat.
If men made the comments the female nurses make, they'd be standing in front of the board in half a jiff.
I was at the nurses station and listened to two women talk about the new boyfriends sexual performance. When they saw that I was listening and not happy about it, one says to me, "Get used to it. That's what happens when you work with women."
Management did nothing.
i was a guard in a prison hospital for 6 years. I had to deal with the same thing,
up to and including discovering how many females genuinely enjoy anal sex (my favorite was once a nurse emailed another nurse... an email that included her glowing love of anal sex.....and accidentally had all selected as recipient) why did you let it bother you instead of block it out?
i hope you didn't go to management as a man.

But as a lady, no offense, I would be uncomfortable with a male nurse. It’s kind of embarrassing for me lol
But a male doctor or HCA is fine?
@@ciaran1659 Yes, male doctors are fine. They don’t get as up close and personal as nurses do. For example, when I was a little girl, I had to have my appendix out. A nurse would have to take me to the bathroom, and nurses cared for me at my bedside with bed baths and things like that. That’s embarrassing enough, but for a man to do all that, I would have been so embarrassed!
The supreme court ordered nursing schools to allow men into nursing schools but the fight against female discrimination against men is still socially acceptable
This was spot on. The people who are offened are probably just the female nurses lol
I'm getting ready to apply for a master's accelerated nursing program to begin my path toward being a CRNA. Any advice?
I agree, men get the worst patients violence and heavy patients
As a charge nurse I’m guilty for assigning male nurses with heavy or rude male patients. I’m also guilty for thinking of number 5. But typically one can tell the male nurses who are in it for the money vs those who love nursing.
Honestly im going to cna school. next month. tbh i am doing it just for the money. It was to help people at first but i realized people are freaking scumbags. so 🤷♂️
Pray for the man who is foolish enough to think he will be allowed to be a nurse without being severely abused
I’m fine with taking the “heavier” patients, that’s what I’m there for👍
I think the name nurse has become anachronistic. It should be changed to fit in with the times and be more inclusive. Perhaps they could use the title Infirmary medic. Just a thought. I liked your video. I could easily imagine you doing a great job.
Great video. You are spot on.
I married a beautiful classmate several years after graduation, but dated other classmates and coworkers as well before getting married…. I found it to be nothing but trouble, gossiping, backstabbing, 😂
, etc. best rule…keep it away from school and work unless it is the ONE!
This is exactly why I avoid men in school and at work. Fuckin perverts
my big brother is a nurse
How big is he
Lol
Can’t wait to leave bedside nursing, 3 more months sheesh
Imagine a murse in obgyn or plastic surgery 😂
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Nursing is for females. Hear me out though. I have been a male nurse for 15 years. Male physicians are the most arrogant and laugh when they work with male nurses. Male physicians prefer the surrounding of female nurses. But when they work with male nurses side by side with a patient, the flavor changes vs male physicians working with female nurses. This happens all the time. Went to become a PA and the male physicians still treat you like you are some joke. This is the gruesome side of being a male nurse. On the upside, female nurses love working with single, fit and attractive male nurses to lighten up the mood in the workplace. Downside, male physicians despise you for that. Nothing wrong being a male nurse. Just prepare for a different flavor of discrimination.
Solution: Work nights. No physician rounding, no working side by side with docs. Most of your correspondence will be over phone or through secure chat, if it happens at all. Still get the dynamic of being a rare male in an overwhelmingly female nursing unit.
I think this applies moreso at a small hospital but still. After going nights and seeing the utter lack of admin, physicians, interdisciplinary staff (read: PT/OT), and just coming into work and doing your job, relatively few strings attached... I'll never go back to days
Same experience here
Well... I am very sorry to hear that and I know it's true, but I prefer female nurses as well a female doctors unless there is some serious, God forbid, operation. In this case I prefer a man
The first one definitely
And the 2nd lol
The third one has happened to me a few times I’m like no I’m not going to school to be a doctor. I’m a nurse it’s like people can’t comprehend that or don’t want to.
Epic 🔥vid interesting...
weird I thought male patients would rather have you.
We love u tho
I can tell hes a male nurse when he used dont hate me 😂😂😂 beta boi
First
I don't hate you buddy. I mean you are hated by every female nurse in the facility so you already have plenty. Tell the girls to leave your burrito alone
