    How did men becoming a nurse become a thing?! Imagine this guy in a white nurses robe acting as if that’s something normal.

    It’s almost like a man becoming a secretary or maid/cleaning lady or flight attendant or something.

    And it’s almost as bad as a woman becoming a construction worker or truck driver or engineer or combat soldier or fireman or similar.

    What had this world come to? Didn’t we learn that putting men in women’s jobs and putting women in men’s jobs is what Pharaoh did in Mitzrayim?

    In the early 1800s of the Common Era, all nurses were men.

    Then women entered nursing, and their numbers increased
    until men vanished from the nursing profession.

    If you watch carefully, there is a repeated pattern of
    women entering male professions, and then increasing
    until all of the men are pushed out of that profession.

    Wrong question. You should ask how WOMEN took over that profession (of persons less trained than physicians who care for patients). In the not too distant past, only men were allowed to perform that function (though women would perform it for women). Where is the heter for women to take care of unrelated males (which by definition includes seeing them undressed, and making physical contact)? For that matter, where is the heter for women to be treated by male doctors (and in many countries, women generally refuse treatment from male doctors, especially if female health care workers are available).

    The second half of the question “why now” has to do with the high cost of becoming a physician at least in America (and some would argue that American physicians are over trained). “Physician’s Assistants) and “Nurse Practitioners” have been increasingly providing primary care and some specialist services, even though their training is a fraction of the cost of physicians, and their pay is significantly lower. Many would be health care workers feel that the cost of becoming a physician isn’t worth the reward, and many health care providers consider it a waste of money to have an MD doing can be done just as well by a less expensive employee.

    Are you dumb or something?

    1) Nurses don’t wear white robes.

    2) Half of patients are male. Many would be more comfortable with male nurses.

    3) Male nurses can lift patients better with their stronger muscles.

    These are just the top 3 obvious reasons I thought of in 3 minutes.

    There’s nothing inherently female about being a nurse. Men didn’t enter the field until nurses started getting paid well, as they should for their heroic efforts and skills.

    It’s not nearly as bad as a woman being in those jobs you mentioned.
    You’re right, women should NOT be firefighters or construction workers.
    There’s nothing wrong with a man being a nurse.

    You are asking the wrong question? Until the 19th century, “nurses” (for male patients) were always male. The real shailoh is why do we have medical personnel treating persons of the opposite gender (especially in situations where modesty is an issue, such as for surgeons).

    Does a male PA make you feel better
    and if yes, why?

    Unfortunately, it is worse than you might think. These male nurses are largely non-hetero, if you know what I mean…

    But I had an even worse experience at a major hospital in LA. After getting m treatment (from 3 male nurses, who were actually quite competent, I must admit), I went to get my car from the valet, and ALL the staff were ladies! And they weren’t very competent either, though no one put a dent in the door or bumper etc. Only almost…
