Why is a male considered to be homosexual for being a nurse? Rationally society feels traditional men are doctors and female are nurses. Men should not be discourages in pursuing a career as a nurse. If men chose to live their lives based on what the media, and, or society project, how could males be consider a man if our judgments are determined on what others think? Further more men should not be fearful of one’s opinion targeting their future in the health professions.
When it comes to a male in the nursing field there are a lot of stereotypes that follow the statement, such as man happen to lack behind a lot. Also they are said to be feminine foe wanting to work as a nurse. Society and our families teach us from early stages that men’s are doctors and women are nurses. Male nurses are also limited with access with their occupation. Men are not allowed in the delivery room. Due to the discriminations there are many male nurses that denied the opportunity to work in certain area in the hospital, such are the labor and delivery units and the nursery units says (Navarro).
In the health profession units are gathered by women and men. Neither gender shouldn’t shy away from entering a particular field due to fear. There are plenty of positions for both sexes. Each person has a dream of being someone important in the near future. Male nurses can offer some strength’s that most women can’t, such as lifting patients or fixing machineries that are used when treating patients.
Being a human being we are all entitle to have freedom of choice for our careers. I once heard this saying “follow your heart not someone else’s dreams.” Simply pursue what interest you as your career. If the work force was hand pick that would make jobs unbalanced. Work should be performed by the love with in the person who performs the task. Also the growth opportunities should be equal to both genders. Men should not be over looked in their profession, because it is considered to be a female’s job.
Further more men in the nursing field have equal opportunities, and or respect as females nurses. Mean have sided from their passion in most workforces due to discrimination from society and families. Male’s are just as important as women in nursing. With both sexes working as a unit over time men will be more accepted. Everyone is entitled to be who they want in this life. Therefore our minds shouldn’t be controlled by negativity.
