Male Nurses – we need them!
When we think of nurses in general, our mind pictures a female nurse. But on the ground the scene is changing dramatically. Statistics reveal that the number of male nurses registering in the past 2 years has doubled. This is a positive development in the medical field while the pandemic is yet to subside.
For many generations, nursing was considered a female job but now with increased awareness and gender bias decreasing, male nurses are increasing. Men are seeing greater opportunity in this field and there is a dire need for them. Job security in government hospitals and high salaries in private hospitals are encouraging men to opt for this profession.
Our healthcare system is drastically changing and developing. To ensure that good medical care is imparted to the general public it is important to have more nurses, both male and female.
Depending on your interest you can opt for the field of nursing. If you are inclined towards medical technology you can opt for radiology or anesthesia nursing. Your love for children can motivate you to become a pediatric nurse too. There are many options available today.
For those who could not make it to becoming a doctor, opting for nursing is a very good career opportunity. You will still make a mark in the field of medicine and pursue your vocation of healing people.
There was a phase where people mocked male nurses, but the pandemic has changed that. Today nurses are the lifeline of the healthcare system.
