Perhaps not but it is interesting the double standards some have about male RN’s being “bad” of somehow “gay”(whatever!) but male doctors okay. Both will see you naked, perhaps saving your life.
This male RN, 31 years in with 18 in the ICU isn’t there to be “your cup of tea”...but you might get timely pain medicine or be kept alive or to console your family if God decides to take you home! Still, you’ll be safe...plenty of female RN’s if you prefer...assuming staff isn’t too short and my shift hasn’t been staffed with mostly males(which is happening more and more these days!)
Keep up the good work. (It was a joke.)
“but it is interesting the double standards some have”
Nurses have traditionally been female, for a long time now. It’s only to be expected that people look askance on men who want a woman’s job. It’s not a matter of men being unable to do the job; it’s just creepy.
It’s a lot less creepy when the male nurse has been a corpsman or a medic. In the XlinBushBama crappy economy, it makes sense for a young man without a degree to parlay military experience into a real job.
A lot more of those ex-corpsmen and medics would probably go to medical school, if the seats weren’t taken by affirmative action admissions.
BTW: I don’t see any double standards here. Just people acting like people, and people not acting like people.
