MALES IN THE NURSING WORLD

[@xwld2971]

I am a 44 year old male starting classes this fall. I can't wait to be a Nurse and help people. Thank you for the video and the support! Please keep making video's to encourage other's.

[@sylvestermaith3054]

I just started nursing school and I'm one of three guys in a class of 21. I love it that a lot of women in the class are willing to accept us guys so far...lol. I'm also a firefighter so I'm on both sides of the fence with firefighting being a male dominated job and we have women.. I say no matter the gender we are doing a job TOGETHER for a single purpose!! #TEAMMURSE

[@Filipinogenetics]

sylvester maith nice man! Much respect for you! I would love to do firefighting along with nursing..got any tips??

Being a man working in an "all female" work place can be challenging. You have to be on your guard at all time with what you say and even your body language. A write up is just around the corner. Most men in a workplace wiill snap back (i have seen fist fights after work) But the paper work is not very common.

[@dsolomon]

I killed my back and had to do rehab because I thought I could lift patients without help. Now I get assistance every single time. It’s worth it to take the time to get help.

[@johnnycage2746]

I had a woman falsely accuse me of inappropriate advances because I wouldn't take her shifts.

[@limitless1692]

Johnny Cage Thanks for heads up... It is a problem that nobody talks about

[@Loveyourselfnottheworld]

Another future male nurse ... I’m kinda nervous but I’m ready

[@joshuaball9240]

Alot of guys have permanent back issues from doing to much patient lifting and transferring, so be just be careful to remember that we are all humans and have our limits!!

[@CrowleysGhost]

Thanks for the kudos. I've done everything from ICU to hospice to detox to psych for 22 years now. It has definitely broadened me as a person and I'll always be proud of being a nurse. As a guy I'm usually assigned to the more acute of the two separated hallways of our locked Psych unit, and it's simply because I'm a male. On one hand I wouldn't want our female nurses to be attacked, but on the other hand I need a break every once in awhile. It's a chaotic and potentially dangerous environment to work in.

[@AshleyLorenaAdkins]

Thank you for sharing!!!

[@IronReef77]

I used to feel weird about the male nurse title but then I realized how proud I am of myself. Thanks for the love

[@BoltCRNA]

Great stuff. I used to be an ICU RN and I really liked that specialty because you have a much larger percentage of males in that dept. It helps balance out the female drama. I did a video on my channel recently about why male nurses are paid more statistically. Check it out and let me know if you disagree.

[@meeruslime3322]

Oh really ? Can you please share me that link of a video ?

Nice video Ashley, i am graduating from nursing school this month and me and the other two guys in our class are doing a report on men in nursing, thinking of showing your video. I know their are many who discriminate or buy into the stereotypes about male nurses, I just hope there are more people like you that share your opinion.

[@RamMohammadJosephKaur]

Its been 4 years. How has it been if you don't mind sharing. ?

Great video! Facts... Things for super awkward when I bumped into maternity....

It's nice to have stud muffins like Nurse Bass to work with eh? :p

[@thatoneguy2212]

The video is considering the average male/female at 194 and 164 lbs respectively. Now, it is biological fact that males are able to excel in athletics I.E. Olympic Weightlifting. In the 69 kg weight class, the world record total is 357 kg for men and 245 kg for women; a nearly 250 lbs difference. This result is mirrored in other athletics like track and field or swimming. This comparison in athletics shows that the most genetically gifted males and females do not compete at the same level due to biological differences. There are measurable biological differences in the two, women have wider hips that must compensate for childbirth. Men however, have narrow hips, optimized through evolution for lifting, sprinting, and other athletics. Hormones also play a huge role, higher levels of androgens allow for increased muscle mass among other things. In your anecdote, you compare a top female athlete to an athletically below-average man. There will be exceptions to the average, but this is unrepresentative of the public. It is not a fault that women aren't as strong, women are able to work around this difference with their own strengths. It is widely accepted that women have greater communication skills than men, and the miraculous ability to create another human.

[@aussienursingbuddy]

Oh carry on, mate.

[@jimaalex2656]

I love been a male Nurse! But the fun part is working alongside female nurses.Because, they always get me cracking up during stressful situations. working with 18 female Nurses and the only male, I always feel like that one lucky child who found fortune with 18 loving and caring family who happened to be all ladies😂 wouldn't trade that for nothing😂.By they way I don't mind lifting them patients for my female Nurses anytime any day!

[@glennyboy7248]

I feel that as a CNA !!

[@justinbeynon7980]

I'm thinking about starting an LPN program this fall and this video helped reassure me a bit.

[@marshalllaw123]

Right on Ashley, I think your attitude is exactly what us fellas like to hear! And about the lifting thing: I think some guys pretend to resent it, but secretly we love that women look to us for help lifting. It refuels our inner machismo without us seeming chauvinist in any way, so it's pretty much a win-win deal! 😄👍👍

[@AshleyLorenaAdkins]

+marshalllaw123 HAHAHAHAH I APPRECIATE YOUR MUSCLES

I’m hispanic and a new RN grad (3months) working in the neuro trauma icu. I’m excited being a part of this respectable profession. I’m also a full time firefighter for Houston. Love serving others. Can you tell 😃

[@20somethingwithkids5]

I am a male going through nursing school vlogging every moment is amazing for me. Cant wait to finish and my subscribers and watching my life and way through nursing school

[@runfayalife]

I had a CNA call me to help with a patient. I told her I was charting and there were two CNAs sitting there bullshitting. She says, "I need a male." I'm like OH SHIT! She's being roughed up! She just wanted me to pull up the patient ...

[@michaelc7723]

Retired RN: The first thing you have to do as a male going into nursing is devalue others' opinions of yourself. This gets you about 40 years of one aspect of maturity. Nursing requires excellent analytical skills, memorization, observation, and self-discipline. This eliminates many women and some men who start nursing programs. Nursing also requires very good communications skills, which sometimes eliminates men who should be engineers. Unfortunately, in recent years, it has become hazardous for men to be alone with female co-workers or patients. Male nurses need equal protection and they don't have it. There are many women who would rather have nobody saving their life than a man saving their life.

[@limitless1692]

Michael C Hmm, good point Thanks for sharing.

[@candleankle1805]

I’m a male nurse and I’m not sensitive. At all. I have empathy but for sure, not sensitive.

[@disneyfangirl3834]

Agree a lot guys nurses are helpful I had more then handle fold of nurses that where men they where excellent I have a uncle brother and male cousins that are nurses so I have high respect for all nurses

[@cptbrncls7050]

I'm a 51 yo first year nursing student (thanks COVID) . There are not many guys in my cohort. Probably less than 10%, and only one other who is around my age.

[@NurseMurse]

good video ash, I personally think its funny when males get upset when people call them male nurses but that's just me. :) Amen sister. The drama/hormones is real but guys do have it made when it comes to nursing/healthcare.

[@AshleyLorenaAdkins]

+NurseMurse Thanks for the comment!!!!!

[@AshleyLorenaAdkins]

+NurseMurse And it is funny when people get mad when being called a male nurse....because...that is what you are! You can call me a female nurse if you would like. :) lol

[@disneyfangirl3834]

I agree with you guys who get upset when people them a murse should not be so upset people say stupid things they know they are they should not focus on who says what because it dosent matter they should focus on the ones who likes them as you know some women or guys are funny with guy nurses they have a stero a type

[@rpm511]

I love nursing and would never change it anything else. And yeah, I love my ratio, it's great but there's a lot more males going into nursing at least where I. Live

[@okkid1949]

The reason Male Nurses do not like it when requested to do all the heavy lifting is the reality that their back and shoulders will break down over the long run. The fact that you even feel a need to present this video is the strong bias against men in nursing by the women in nursing. Sorry you seem like a good person but truth is truth.

[@MrRoque-pg3yr]

I’m cool with Murse

[@RaheelPervaiz123]

if im a male nurse and women are asking me to lift people for them i will not do it.

[@Filipinogenetics]

Raheel Pervaiz that ends up being patient neglect though

[@RaheelPervaiz123]

Chris Jackson doesnt change the fact that its wrong.

[@Filipinogenetics]

How is it wrong? I understand if they ask you for every single patient but if it's patients who are overweight, help them out and quit whining about it

[@dteasdale77]

You would do it, for the simple reason that nursing takes a team, and yes I've helped lift patients that weren't mine, but I received help when I needed it from them.

[@chayan1456]

+Chris Jackson go ahead dude, why are u bothering us tho

[@meeruslime3322]

Yeah well anyway nowadays if the women's could be Policewoman,Soldier,Doctor or a Labour etc so then why the men couldn't be the nurse ? However I think the gender today is not matter because everyone man/woman is doing that same job according to my opinion

[@Ghanaba23]

I'm not enjoying clinical because I go there in happy mood, and the nurses think I'm hitting on them..so weird 😌

[@MrAmunika1]

You've said the truth about us Male nurses

[@chris9650]

Guys say that they don't want to be known as male nurses but you go ahead and call them male nurses anyway. Way to go there with the accepting the way that in acknowledging the way people like to be referred to. Hope you are more respectful to the preferred babes of your patients.

+GamingTechReview I don't know know anyone who wasn't raised by a woman, but I don't know everyone in this world, but to me , that's a different thing (raised by a women and being surrounded by women)

[@GamingTechReview]

I was surrounded by women. Since being homeschooled made me lonely. I hung out with my sister allot. Her friends always talked to me. I even went to parties with them and was surrounded by allot of women. 1 guy and 20 women that were 10 years older then me.

[@LB76255]

In Australia, Male Nurses get paid on average $5000 more annually than women nurses. Thats around $100 more per week than our female work colleagues.....Both sexes pay the same college fees, yet men get paid more after graduation. As soon as there was an influx of males in the industry, the salary for a nurse goes up. I can lift a patient pretty good by myself, but so can a lot of the female nurses working with me. Seems so wrong that I get paid so much more than the girls in this day and age where equality isn't really a "thing" anymore.....

[@limitless1692]

If you work more hours you must be payed more! If you have more qualifications you must be payed more! If you have more experience you must be payed more! Why do you have a problem with that?!
