There are simply both male and female nurses because the more people in nursing, the more people there are to help patients. Its a free country, and people can be what they want to be most of the time.
Infusion nurses are mostly female.
No. It would be about the same if not higher. There is a big demand for male nurses in the U.S right now.
the same thing female nurses do
According to a US Census report, male nurses earn 16 percent more than female nurses. As of 2014, male nurses make $60,700 a year.
There are no patron saints of male nurses but there are male patron saints of nurses:Alexius of RomeCamillus of LellisJohn of GodRaphael the Archangel(Actually, Raphael is asexual, neither male of female.)
One is male and one is female. Also, one is a dentist and one is a nurse.
Yep. There are plenty of male nurses. No problem. Why not!
Male nurses and male educators are not uncommon and very popular men who work at traditional "female jobs".
An adult female is called a mare. An adult castrated male is called a gelding. An adult male that is uncastrated is a stallion. A young horse male or female is called a foal. A young female (under 2) is a filly. A young male is a colt. There are also names for young horses as they grow. A foal that still nurses from the mother is a suckling. A foal that no longer nurses is a weanling. At his/her first birthday it's a yearling.
The answer to this question totally depends on the patient. Some male patients feel strongly about having a male do their intimate care while other men feel just as strongly about having a female nurse do their intimate care. In my experience, it doesn't seem to make a difference to a majority of patients or at least they don't bring up the subject. I will say that there does seem to be a slightly growing percentage of male patients that will comment to me that they are glad they have a male nurse and it usually seems to be due to the anxiety that the male patient would feel if they got an erection during a procedure with a female nurse or because they have a modesty issue. If anything, I have come to learn that everyone has baggage / hangups to one extent or another and treating everyone with dignity and respect seems to transcend gender lines and make gender less of an issue.
