Seems like there is a little bit of objectification going on here. Apparently to be a male nurse you have to be young,hunky, and athletic to be a male nurse.
Woo Hoo! I just did a cursory search and found our video! What a great, fun day for a great cause. Male nurses currently account for 5.4% of the entire nursing profession. Hopefully with the advent of this calender more men will be attracted to a great career!

If i modeled as a male nurse, i'd probably have benadryl, coffee, scotch, vodka, and a marijuana plant (purple kush) as my prop for my "lifestyle" photo pic.
I am a 43 y/o poop with a semi pot belly and would never make the calender cover. However, I do know this, I love what I do. It takes heart and love. My wife agrees.
Great video--you should disclose information on this calendar--is it ongoing each year? I work in recruitment advertising and it would be great to hear from some male nurses to find out how did you chose your career path. I think it's great! Never mind social mores, they don't last forever ;)
A great way to make a decent living, have job security and actually make a positive difference in people's lives.
Nursing is a great job for anyone who's likes the ideas of these incentives - but it's only for those who are really willing to do the work because the patients depend on you.
Last night, I was helping another RN on the unit with a high school student coming out of surgery for a broken wrist and the kid wouldnt let me near them. "I dont want HIM touching me!" Its because he automatically thought I was gay because I was a male nurse. What are they teaching kids nowadays about my profession in this day and age? Its sad that people still have this stereotype.
Masters Prepared Nurse for 18 years. Right on. Our country is in health care crisis. Need more males to step up and enter. I've had my share of reverse gender discrimination but females get it more from the doctors. Comes with the territory.
Gee why should men enter nursing, you're surrounded by hot female RNs, don't have to be on call, RNs call the shots, do the cool procedures, the pay is great, you can travel, work on cruise ships, pick your hours, never worry about unemployment.The reasons are endless.
these men have courage to go against what society deems acceptable. to go into a profession that requires such a tremendous amount of knowledge and compassion is never easy. there is a philosophical difference between medicine and nursing and it is people like these (and all nurses) who will never abandon the idea of caring and compassion. that there are people behind the suffering, not just a disease. who else will advocate for us and our families when we are alone and scared? thanks nurses.
i guess you are right jman! I would BET that holavato or cocksucker whatever that means doest even have a JOB HEHEHEE! what an idiot huh now he just have to wait for his time to be fart on while he's sick. hehehehe. i'm also a registered nurse and if i caught jman farting on your face i guess im gonna have to consider that.
hey mr. holavatavato or cocksucker whatever that means i bet one day when you or your mama become sick a male nurse will be taking care of either of you and you better not blink when this happen because your mama might just be FUCKED by a male nurse in her ass WOWOWEEWAA and that willo happen because youre too dumb to write something you never thought off. ANd if i willbe that nurse i'll be happy to have you admited in my hospital so i can fart on your face while the doctor is out for lunch
You petty petty little bastard. There aren't enough men in nursing. and contrary to what you think, nurses are the ones who do the cool shit. Shocks, pushing drugs...all the stuff the docs do on TV, nurses do in real life.
"Issued" retro-thinking prevents women from being Police Officers or President. "Nursing" derives from "Nutricus" (Lt.) to nurture, to foster, or to protect. Examples of men in nursing: Good Samaritan, Knights of Malta, Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony, Walt Whitman, Joseph Pilates. Patients and doctors come in both sexes, and today, so too do nurses. A "failed doctor?" -- Not! I'm a male RN and damn proud of it!
you must be a fucking bastard,how can you think that all male nurses are gay or that nursing is only for girl,you have the wrong idea.nursing is just a profession like any other....educate yourself before you write stupidities.

"CARING" for your fellow human is the greatest motivator for being a nurse.

They need to revamp the entire approach to teaching nursing for men. It's not conducive at all to making men feel comfortable -

This comment has received too many negative votes show
What type of man would go into nursing. A man with issues. eather they are gay or could not get into MD.
Those guys are trying to compensate for something they lack. Except for the guy who is cooking. Gay video. Nursing is just for women.
