Career development of male nurses

It will take some time for male nurses to become large-scale. Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region has 11 male nurses. Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital has recruited a new male nurse this year on the basis of 5 male nurses. Gulou The hospital already has two male nurses, and there may be more this year. There are more and more male nurses in large hospitals in Nanjing. There are relatively many male nurses in Heilongjiang. There are more than 100 male nurses in the People's Hospital of Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province, and almost 120 of them are composed of male nurses. In a short period of time, it is unlikely that both men and women in the nursing field will be able to support half the sky. However, as major medical schools have begun to recruit male nursing students, hospitals have recognized existing male nurses and social medical needs, I believe that men The team of nurses will continue to grow.

Bound by traditional ideas and the cautious nature of women, people have always believed that nursing is a female job. Men working as nurses were seen as incompetent or without a future. In addition, society does not fully recognize nurses and does not understand the connotation of the nursing industry. It is believed that nurses only "help" doctors and "serve people", which also affects the attractiveness of this industry to men.

There are also men who have to support their families. Since nurses are generally not well paid, they work more in the hospital than female nurses, and they still get the same salary. This discourages many men, and some even Even though many male nurses are registered, they still do not engage in nursing work in hospitals.
