Guy as you are running this nursing courses better be looking for opportunities abroad which are plenty. Do the right exams and courses finish up and discharge.

You'll be far better of than everyone who laughed at you. A male nurse has many advantages in the work place. They can hustle better than the females and get side jobs more.

WELCOME TO THE NURSING PROFESSION. Where you'll meet Nursing Jurisprudence, Foundation of Nursing, & d rest. Male nurses are dominating now o and they are more favoured than female nurses. Don't give a fvck about what People think, just do what u love and rip the glory of it. After you're done with ur council exam, u can stay and work for 2yrs or so then u apply for UK or Australia Nursing Exam

Maxcollins042:


Thank your stars you didn't go for biochem. In fact, you owe those who chastised you against going for it a whole lot. You would have been regretting by now why you went for it. Stupid course.

Don't mind those that see you studying nursing as an abomination. They are just ignorant and mesolithic. Many guys are even wishing to be in your position now. Once you're done just japa this country.

dustydee:

Decent career choice. Watch and see how those people will come begging you for assistance with your "abomination" salary.
You can make it your mission to address the misconception about male nurses.

IMASTEX:

Hope you'll also consider what people will say or think when you're confronted with bills in the future. Or you haven't seen female studying Engineering courses. Oga better grab it with your heart, study very hard & always aim abroad for final destination/promise land. You may save this comment, it will be your reference if you able.

Baawahala:

People's opinion made you leave med surge for nursing
Peoples opinion will make you leave nursing for biochem...
People's opinion will make you get frustrated if you don't do what makes you fulfilled.
Pray it won't be your potion.

Gabe427:


Bro don't mind them Nursing is more than hot cake it hot cake with wide opportunities and cool drink(cash)

freeman67:


I will tell you what I told a friend's cousin that became a friend back then. He was in a nursing school visiting us in the uni and his complain was very similar to yours. I have always known there are male nurses right from childhood because there was one in a hospital close to our house and he was liked by everyone. So I advice my friend to be proud of his Course. He should concentrate and finish with good grades and the sky will be his starting point.

He continued with his course, finished and went to China where he later studied Medicine and from there to the UK for further studies.

Do not give too much thoughts to irrelevant side talks that will never add anything good to you but will instead dampen your morale. All you have to do is concentrate, finish with very good grades and have a very good practical knowledge of it too. With that you are then free to fly..

MolarT:
I got same reaction back then bro...it is naija mentality...And till this day I have never regretted it... Just pipe low, do the necessary tinz and come out with good grades...u will have a great future...am a living testimony bro... I practice in DUBAI-UAE.

Segzy19:
Bro, I have not heard anyone saying it is an abomination for males to study nursing.

The point is that not many people know about male nurses (depending on your location or where you come from). The societal mindset is that nursing is for females,and this is further fuelled by the dominance of females in the profession.
God bless you!

So when people express their attitude at you studying nursing, they are simply displaying their ignorance or narrow-mindedness. There are thousands of male nurses in Nigeria, and abroad.

Nursing is one of the quickest way to making it in life. You spend 3 years to gain your basic RN diploma, plus another 12 or 18 months to have your post- basic diploma, then with 1 or 2 years of work experience you are in hot demand abroad.
Once you are abroad, you can do your Bsc, MSc and phd (if you wish) with ease even while working.

Pass your English exams and you are in demand in UK, Canada etc. One nurse that works abroad in the family can liberate a family from poverty.

But then, don't just go into nursing because of money or to make it quickly in life. Make sure it's your passion to care for people. The passion is what will sustain you through training and on your working life as there some times that you may feel like quitting.

So leave those people expressing their ignorance, and move on.... You don't need their approval.

Life is Life!

Ogundipe007:
I'm currently on admission at the Federal medical centre ebute metta male surgical ward for a corrective procedure on my legs. We just have 3 male nurses and they are superb. They know so much. When the doctors are doing theit rounds you see them with notebooks jotting down and asking questions. Something their female counterparts don't do. I love it when one of them is on duty. There was an incident when my canola removed and all the nurses in the ward could not fix it. They were waiting for the doctors to come fix it, cos of that I did not get any IV drugs for the whole day. The next day it was one of the male nurse that fixed it and it was less painful. I have chatted with all of them and they all want to jakpa out of the country very soon. Don't let anyone discourage you it's a fine course and I'm sure you will do just fine. Next time any one wants to play the gender card on you, just ignore them and raise your shoulders high. No doubt it's a field dominated by females. Don't let that disuade you. It's an opportunity for you to be noticed on time once you are diligent committed and hardworking. Go for gold my brother.

JIREN01:
OP, please ignore this comment totally.

Bellgal:
Op please just concentrate with your studies i swear you won't regret it.

My brother is a nurse, I'm a nurse too.
Male nurses make it more than the female.
When you you are through with your general nursing, please try and go for a specialty course like anaesthetic nursing.
Thank me later......

IGpro1:
just shut up niggah, I'm one myself. And doctors respect themselves around me. Do you know what a BNS.c degree mean?
Better remove your mind from those quack nurses who do 2 years training with their primary six cert or those with diploma, who are a lot better.
If A diploma nurse in Nigeria earns between 70-100k in Nigeria
His much do you think a degree holder will earn as a nurse.
Better change your orientation.
Go to any hospital, in every 10 nurses only 1 or 2 are degree holders the rest are basic RN,

Most hospitals can't afford to pay a Nurse who went through the university to get his/her BNS.c with a starting salary of 120k in federal settings except in some hospitals were it's a little lower.

IGpro1:
don't let anything stop you from becoming one.
I'm currently in my pen ultimate year, had to go for it...

When we started we were outnumbered 100 female to 20 males but now others joined through direct entry and we're like 100 females to 40 males now, lower levels are even better with a huge number of males,
And some matrons do tell us they are happy we males are feeling the gap that made other health professionals to look down on them because they are female.
Even as a nurse I've had to put many doctors in their place for daring to ask me to fetch some items,

And in any hospital, male nurses are like doctors. Again there was this notion some of my colleagues (students) had that nurses don't fix an IV (drip) line, but I got to do it seeing my male chief nurse doing it. I asked him same question, he told me some female nurses out of laziness don't like fixing the cannula (drip line) because it's difficult sometimes to locate the vain to place it.
Few years to come NIGERIAN youths will change the stereotype of nursing being a female profession.

zinaunreal:

Pussy ass? Come my front come talk am make I remove your skull

JBRichard:

That's good to know. It'll be nice to contact you personally.... please?

numericalguy:
@ JBRiichard, listen to me and listen good..

It is an abomination and I will prove it to you.

Male doctors are fond of cruising female nurses as they like, they use female nurses and dump them like rags. Can you as a male nurse even ask a female doctor out on a date?

Male nurses find it very difficult to get relationship partners because no one wants to date them. Not even female nurses.

IGpro1:
your brain must surely be a second
hand one picked from the gutters. when even female doctors admire my abs and physique.
As a make Student nurse many stories from. My side abounds, but it's for personal consumption only.
When girls sef they admire me on uniform.
Chaii.
Go and reorientated yourself man.

Phenomenal16:
..they are called accoucheurs

I feel sorry for you though.. You are so low on self esteem that you had to start body building to make yourself attractive to the opposite gender.
Well, NEWS FLASH: Body building will not cut it, you and your kind will always be looked down upon in the medical circles because you are a male nurse. You are a fa!!lure who couldn't meet up with the academic rigours that is required to be a doctor.

Going about insulting people who told you the truth will not even improve your chances in life.

IGpro1:
yes you can, send a PM through Nairaland

JBRichard:

Please what is a PM?

IGpro1:

JBRichard:
