FINNEGAN Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2019 © Copyright by MICHAEL W. FINNEGAN All Rights Reserved 2019 i Abstract Negative stereotyping of men in nursing has been a chronic problem that has a direct effect on males and detracts from efforts to recruit and retain them. At this time in American history (2018), traditionally male-dominated professions are making significant progress toward the goal of a gender-balanced workplace. However, the opposite is not true. Traditionally female-dominated professions are not attracting or appealing to men. In the nursing profession, the number of male nurses is relatively small and has remained relatively fixed over time.

    ii Dear Students, Welcome to Curry College School of Nursing. I want to commend you on your decision to begin or continue your educational endeavors towards a professional nursing degree. As a nursing program embedded within a college based in the liberal arts and sciences, our faculty are uniquely qualified to help you learn to apply knowledge humanely, intelligently, and effectively in our complex changing world. Healthcare delivery requires nurses to commit to lifelong learning, acknowledge the need for continual updates of knowledge and competency throughout one’s career, and embrace complexity and change. Therefore, our faculty strive to prepare graduates as adaptable and flexible learners who consistent with our School of Nursing vision become “…leaders who use evidence-based knowledge to practice nursing with creativity, compassion, and commitment”. Curry College School of Nursing is a rigorous learning environment where you will be academically challenged, but also supported in a caring and innovative educational environment. You are fortunate to be taught by an extremely dedicated cadre of faculty, who are nationally and internationally recognized for their scholarship, leadership, and scientific achievements. Utilize these role models as you develop into the next generation of nurse leaders. I encourage you to embrace every educational opportunity as an engaged learner; bring your intellectual curiosity and a spirit of inquiry to each classroom, laboratory, simulation, and clinical encounter. Finally, nursing is a rewarding career, but also requires deliberate time for regular self-care and reflection on your practice. Make these practices a habit throughout your career, so you will remain invigorated and passionate about your nursing work.

  • A Male Perspective on Being a Nurse in Today's Healthcare Environment
    A MALE PERSPECTIVE ON BEING A NURSE IN TODAY’S HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT A Thesis by CHRISTOPHER M. SMITH Submitted to the Graduate School at Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December 2018 Department of Nursing A MALE PERSPECTIVE ON BEING A NURSE IN TODAY’S HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT A Thesis by CHRISTOPHER M. SMITH December 2018 APPROVED BY: Susan H. Lane, Ph.D. Chairperson, Thesis Committee Dana E. Brackney, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Kathleen Rayman, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Kathleen M. Rayman, Ph.D. Chairperson, Department of Nursing Michael J. McKenzie, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Christopher M. Smith 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract A MALE PERSPECTIVE ON BEING A NURSE IN TODAY’S HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT Christopher M. Smith B.S.N., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Susan Hayes Lane, Ph.D., M.S.N., R.N. Florence Nightingale was responsible for the feminization of nursing and its almost exclusive association with the female gender. Female exclusivity in nursing has been a barrier for men in nursing for more than a century and continues to be one of the greatest contributing factors for the gender disparity in nursing today. Previous studies have demonstrated that men are thought to be poorly suited for nursing, based largely on gender normative stereotyping. This abject view discourages males from entering the nursing profession. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of male nurses in today’s healthcare environment in order to describe the current professional practice climate for men in nursing, from the male nurses’ perspective.
