My mother was a registered nurse. I have a great deal of respect for the profession
That's no easy task. She must have gotten her RN license. I appreciate that she cares for individuals and their quality of life.
Yes, many nurses are very empathetic. They have to care for people all day, so makes sense.
Yes, there are many kind of nurses at different levels of authority, but I think we can agree that empathy is a requirement.
Yes, I agree completely. I have also met some great male nurses, even though the profession if female-dominated. I have seen great nurses of all races and genders.
Absolutely. While it's widely seen as a female profession, that is changing. In the US. Approximately 9% of nurses are male.
Wow, I did not realize it was actually that low. I hope the numbers - like in all professions - trend towards equality.
Yes, thing in the media have a big effect on how people see them. For example many people see nurses as care providers because of their relationship with physicians.
