The importance of gender as a fundamental and organizing factor of daily life is evidenced by the stigma of hornosexuality or spoiled masculinity which is associated with men who defy prevailing gender nom. For men nurses, gender noms and gender inequality also interact with group proportions to create unique patterns of interaction that create complex and contradictory situations of advantage and disadvantage. These patterns of interaction which are piayed out in nurses' socialization and caring practices and in the work roles and tasks they assume, reflect the ways in which men nurses' and women nurses' practices support hegernonic

  • Who We Are Dean’S Welcome
    WHO WE ARE DEAN’S WELCOME Dear friends, This month I took part in my fifth year of graduation and commencement ceremonies at NYU as dean. What an excit- ing time! To see students work so hard and then finally walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, and, for many, enter a new stage in their lives, is the highlight of my year. We have prepared our recent graduates to become leaders at a critical moment in healthcare—a time to reimagine how best to deliver high-quality, affordable care. As nurses, we are uniquely positioned to develop and implement the inno- vation required to tackle this challenge, and more broadly, the world’s most pressing issues like poverty, mental health, climate change, chronic illness, substance abuse, and the effects of an aging population. We know our new graduates—the extraordinary class of 2017—will rise to the challenge. I hope you will join me in saluting them.

A deeper understanding of their motivation, career paths, and job satisfaction is needed to target recruitment and retention efforts. Currently the largest male cohort entering nursing is by second career. This study examines if job satisfaction differs for men who choose nursing as their first choice of career, as a convenience after exploring other options, or as a second career. Methods: This mixed-method study examined the relationship between men entering nursing by choice, convenience or second career and their resultant job satisfaction. A convenience sample of 238 men answered an online survey. Entry path, current practice position, and future career plans in five years was by self report. Job satisfaction was measured using Lester’s instrument.

    A Peer Reviewed Publication of the College of Allied Health & Nursing at Nova Southeastern University Dedicated to allied health professional practice and education http://ijahsp.nova.edu Vol. 9 o. 2 ISS 1540-580X Men in Nursing Jonathan Wolfenden, RN, BScN MScN Student, Athabasca University, Athabasca, Alberta Canada CITATION: Wolfenden, J. Men in Nursing . The Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice. April 2011. Volume 9 Number 2. ABSTRACT The purpose of the paper is to examine the view of men in nursing. It is a discussion on whether a systemic trend to marginalize men in nu rsing exists and the impact this systemic trend has on the nursing profession as a whole. The trend to marginalize men in nursing is examined through the use of a general literature search. The literature search performed looks for examples and statistics on the number of men in nursing and the view of men in nursing, held within the profession and by the population at large. The smaller trends within nursing, from the use of gender biased -language to sex-based discrimination within the education of nurses are all explored, especially within the context of the marginalization of men in nursing. The impact these smaller trends have on the wider trend to marginalize men, and the impact they have on the profession, are also explored. The systemic trend to margi nalize men in nursing means men will never be truly accepted in nursing , which in turn, will exacerbate the current nursing shortage the profession is experiencing. INTRODUCTION “Unlike most other professions, nursing has made no global effort to change t he sexual imbalance of its workforce .”1 It is commonly believed nursing obtained professional status when Florence Nightingale created professional schools of nursing at the turn of 20 th century.2 This professionalization by Florence Nightingale , while ele vating the status of nursing t o a respectable profession for women, has as an unintended consequence, begun the marginalization of men in the profession .

  • 1 the Nursing Community Commends the Introduction of Legislation That Would Secure Future Investments for America's Health
    The Nursing Community Commends the Introduction of Legislation That Would Secure Future Investments for America’s Health Tuesday, February 7, 2017 - As a coalition of national nursing organizations, the Nursing Community fully supports the Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act, which will reauthorize the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Nursing Workforce Development programs (authorized under Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 296 et. seq]) through fiscal year 2022. The Nursing Community is committed to improving the health and health care of our nation by collaborating to support the education and practice of Registered Nurses and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses. The Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act is a critical investment that will enhance the future of the nursing profession as it continues to provide our nation’s patients with the high-quality healthcare services needed for a healthier tomorrow. For over fifty years, Title VIII has helped to build the supply and distribution of qualified nurses to meet our nation’s healthcare needs. These programs bolster nursing education at all levels, nurses in the workforce, and provide support for institutions that educate the future nurses who are essential to ensuring the demand for nursing care is met. Nurses supported through these programs go on to provide high-quality, evidence-based practice to patients in a variety of settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, community centers, state and local health departments, schools, workplaces, and patient homes. The Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act is vital for the sustainability of America’s health as it would ensure the Nursing Workforce Development programs have a current federal authorization necessary for funding in future fiscal years.
