for a long time, the nursing industry seems to be a patent for women. In China, although the nursing school has begun recruiting male students in 1970s, until ten years ago, male nurses were still "rare protected animals". Ten years later, male nurses are increasingly appearing in public view. Among them, there is a NICU "Dad" with a picture of working on the side of the baby, the "father" of the "red" network, a "Superman" in the emergency room, and a "male nurse group" to protect twenty or thirty women from the breast. According to statistics, by the end of 2016, the total number of male nurses in Guangdong has reached 7000, accounting for 2.35% of the total number of nurses. Although the gap between the United States and Europe and other developed areas is obvious, the progress has been very obvious.
yesterday was the international nurse's day. The Guangzhou daily media reporter visited the male nurses from all the hospitals in Guangzhou. Let's pay attention to the "warm man" group, which is full of strength and love.
more than 7000 male nurses in the province,
more in the operation room, ICU
nursing expert, Lin Meizhen, deputy director of the Guangdong nursing society, and the data of the Registration Platform of the nurses in Guangdong province show that in the last ten years, the male nurses in the province have been growing rapidly. By the end of 2016, the total number of male nurses in Guangdong reached 7000, accounting for 2.35% of the total number of nurses.
all media reporters from the Guangzhou daily learned that most of the nurses graduated from the Medical University, the nursing department of the medical school, the nursing college, the nursing school, the vocational and technical school, etc. Usually there are only a few men in the nursing class. When they enter the hospital, they are eyed by many departments such as emergency department, severe ICU, operation room, Department of orthopedics, neurology and so on. The male nurses in the major hospitals of Guangzhou are mainly distributed in departments with relatively high technical content and relatively high labor intensity, such as emergency department, operation room, hemodialysis center, ICU, psychiatrists and so on.
in Guangzhou Medical second hospital, in the operation room, the proportion of male nurses was 14.3%, in the emergency department, male nurses accounted for 29%, in ICU, male nurses accounted for 20%. The nurse in charge of the hospital introduced the operation room as an example. It was only physical exertion for the patients, some of them were overweight and the nurses could not move.
men engaged in nursing
dominance and stress coexist
in Lin Meizhen's view, the nurses favored male nurses, the most important of course was "good use". The occupational advantages of male nurses are first reflected in their obvious physiological advantages. Male nurses are generally more natural than most female nurses, and their nursing work is heavy. Male nurses are naturally popular. Secondly, men are under pressure and strong resistance to stress in a difficult situation. They can bring security to team members in a sudden, urgent and critical situation. Furthermore, it is found that the thinking pattern of male is different from that of women, and the understanding of the problem is more macroscopic. It is a very good supplement and even indispensable in the women based nurses.
nursing expert Huang Huigen also pointed out that the saying, "men and women, work not tired" is very reasonable, men play an important role in the work team gender adjustment, "each area is generally reflected, female nurses like to work with male nurses."
, however, the male nurse is not without disadvantage, except some people have "high hand and low" problem, heavy theory, light operation, the specific operation is not as fine as female nurses, male nurses are also faced with occupational barriers. Lin Meizhen pointed out that men's traditional concept of career choice and social prejudices of nursing can easily cause male nurses to leave if they fail to understand them. "Only when we really love the nursing profession, we have enough psychological preparation for career choices before we can persist." Lin Meizhen said.
Huang Meiling, director of the nursing department of the three hospital of Guangyi medicine, said that society should have more tolerance and understanding for male nurses; to fully embody the labor value of the male nurses, let the male nurses become "good jobs" in the eyes of the job seekers, let the excellent male nurses enter the nursing profession more, and the medical college should also provide a platform to help the male nurse develop major Ability to improve competitiveness.
prospects:
there will be more and more male nurse long
reporter learned that, once insisted, the career prospects of male nurses are even wider than women nurses.
Huang Huigen, director of provincial medical nursing department, said that although provincial doctors have the same career planning for male and female nurses, male nurses are indeed very easy to make achievements. Nowadays, there are quite a few male nurses entering the head nurse library, and some are engaged in specialist nurse training. It is interesting that male nurses have a good mate selection advantage. Now there are family combinations of male nurses and female doctors.
Lin Meizhen revealed that in Guangzhou, the major hospitals have sprung up for the male nurse, the deputy director of the nursing department and the male specialist nurse, which indicates that it is not sporadic, but a group of male nurses on the management posts. There are also not many male nurses taking professional and technical road, such as studying the qualification of specialist nurses, and using strength to crush the prejudice that nurses are just injections, dispensing, and stare at doctor's advice.
