is being a male nurse unmanly?

[triglyceride]

Since you're going into a profession that is predominantly women. Like a male nanny

[BIGDUBBDEISEL]

Honestly, yes.

[jrhodez]

no you make yourself unmanly not your occupation.

[jacko16]

I just applied to nursing school....I couldn't give two shts if someone says it's unmanly when i'm starting off with 50k a year.

$$$

[Frrnckk]

Yes. Leave cleaning poop from old people to females.

[Araj]

I dunno stickin things in dudes buttholes & penis, is just a little bit unmanly.

Always fun when u gotta clear out some old guys compacted poop out of him.

[phikappa]

Nah, man it's pretty cool.

[Worldwide]

only if you suk dicks on your lunch hour

[skarotum]

Yes and no. I mean, it takes a lot of balls to do it because of that. I wouldn't feel comfortable in such a strongly female dominant field. But, if someone is alpha enough and doesn't give a ****, then no. Plus, you work with tons of hot chicks all day.

[Chuck2600]

Maybe a little. There's something about wiping a grown mans ass that would not sit well with me.

[triglyceride]

Most of the chucks are married to lawyers or doctors. Feelsbadman.jpg

If you're asking laymen about the field, of course they'll be ignorant about it.

I'd listen to this.

I know a few nurses (females) that work pretty much when they want and are always in demand. They make good money in my area (Boston). If I was to do it all over and go through college again, I'd consider nursing.

I'm going to school to be an RN.

Btw CNA's and CNA II's usually do the ass wiping.

2 of my classes are 90% girls, feelsgoodman.

[LarryTheGoth]

considering nurses make $75,000 on average. Absolutely not unmanly...

I am going to nursing school after paramedic school. Work 2 days a week as a fireman for 100k a year and the other 2 as a nurse, $$$$. Talkin 150,000 a year.

[M_Pek]

It's unmanly, it's an unmanly profession. Doctor is a manly profession. Medical researcher is a gender neutral profession. Nurse is a feminine profession.

Bro if it's what you want to do, and it provides you secure living then who gives a fuk if it's manly or not.

[ChiefJustice]

Working two on two off right now. Worked this Sunday, off until thursday, off again until saturday - tuesday. 66k right out of school with a billion chances to move up, OT, grad school. Easy life right now. I never got the concept of wiping asses unmanly. If it's your 100 lb grandmother in there with heart problems, would you care if I'm a man/woman when her life's on the line? In the ICU, when we turn bigger patients to wipe their asses, we have to titrate their pressors so their heart doesn't stop. Would you care then?

[Strongbow]

Nah my gf and both my sisters are nurses…. Oh wait. Lol.

But nurses here make 80k+ / year to start so it’s a good job. I think it’s unmanly but I’ve met a lot of murses going to partys with my gf and they are mostly pretty normal/nice guys.

Edit: Problem is you cap out very fast, and no where to go after that.

[IbanezHomie]

Male nurses are making some good money, nothing unmanly about that.

not having a job is unmanly

[TheBarton]

Question is -

Are you unmanly? If you are, then don't do it.
If you're manly - got for it.

[Ricky116]

Taking care of other people is traditionally the woman's job and so yes it is percieved as unmanly (not to say it's not a good job for anyone to do. Infact good nurses are so very important).

Doctors diagnose, make decisions and are in charge of the treatment process (i.e. use their brain), which is traditionally a manly job.

There's no way around this, it has nothing to do with salary or how 'good' the job is. It's just the traditional roles of men and women. Although times are changing innit. Do whatever you want, haters gon' hate.

[ilicet51]

Yes, become a doctor if you're a real man. That being said, I'll need nurses.

[ChiefJustice]

It's unmanly, it's an unmanly profession. Doctor is a manly profession. Medical researcher is a gender neutral profession. Nurse is a feminine profession.

says the ignorant 21yo. Doctor is a gender neutral profession. There are just as many female doctors in my hospital as there are males. And male nursing is growing. 20 years and it will be just as GN as any field. Especially with the economy and high demand for nurses, male nurses in particular.

[SpermWhale]

No.
