Poll: What would you prefer: Male or female nurse

For some patients it is a great concern. I have witness that in the facility that work. I had a patient who rather died instead of having a male nurse taking care of her.


At grelu(dot)com, we, as a professional female nurses, have been discussing this issue for a while now. What do you think guys ???

I don't have a preference. As longas they are students or passed their boards.... Hugs, Teresa

I realize the question is on Male or Female Nurses, but really, the gender has little affect on my preference. The personality is something I'm more discriminating towards. You know, if the Nurse is considerate and caring.

I would be happy with a male or female nurse, if they are up-to-date on care, have a sense of humor, look you straight in the eyes, and treat you as a human and not the ovary in room 312.


In long term care, all of us, from CNAs to RNs were female. However, one day, this fantastic handsome male nurse was hired. One of my residents (a female) came to my office and said, "Things are really looking up around here. That nurse is so good looking". I laughed and agreed with her. It is never too late in life to enjoy "window shopping".

Competency is what I prefer, not gender.
