According to experts, although there are not many male nurses in hospitals at present, there are signs that the needs of hospitals and patients are raising the "worth" of male nurses, and some even suggest that "it is not difficult to find a job, so be a male nurse".
Male nurses have become "hot cakes"
The First Affiliated Hospital of Lanzhou University introduced four male nurses with undergraduate degrees at one time, and their excellent work was quickly highly praised by patients and the media. A female nurse said: "We have been working for more than 20 years and no one has ever cared. They became' toon' in just one year. "
Male nurses are becoming more and more valuable.
Zhang Jinyuan, a nursing expert in China, said that compared with female nurses, male nurses often have physical and psychological advantages, such as physical strength, endurance, adaptability and operational ability. At the same time, patients involved in male privacy are more willing to accept male nurses.
Male nurses can't hold up half the sky.
There is a great shortage of male nurses in hospitals, but often "one is hard to find", and some will change careers after a long time. Experts believe that the reason for this phenomenon is the pressure brought by ideas and medical system. For a long time, the nursing talents trained in our country are mainly secondary professional and technical talents, and there are few nursing talents with college, undergraduate and graduate degrees. In terms of educational level and professional technical level, it is obviously not as good as a doctor.
Male nurses are "booked empty" before graduation.
The hospital said that the "male nurse effect" made the relationship between nurses very harmonious.
In fact, not only doctors and patients are constantly accepting and optimistic about male nurses, but also the training units of nursing talents have seen the market prospect of male nurses. In recent years, many domestic health schools and medical colleges have begun to train male nursing talents, and many students have been locked in the "order" before graduation.
Male nurses are in short supply.
Although the number of male nurses in hospitals is gradually increasing, and major hospitals intend to recruit more male nurses next year, the ratio of male to female nurses is still very different. According to the latest statistics of the Health Bureau, there are more than 4,000 registered nurses in the city, but only 147 male nurses. Director Fan, director of the nursing department of Haici Medical Group, said: "There are very few male nurses now, which are mainly limited by students and traditional concepts. Recruiting male nurses has been included in the hospital's' five-year nursing plan'. "
Wang Yuling, director of the nursing department of the municipal hospital, said: "Male nurses are more sensitive than female nurses in physiological and psychological advantages, especially suitable for some high-risk positions, such as ICU, operating room, emergency room and other departments. At present, there are only two male nurses working in the emergency department and operating room in the municipal hospital. They don't have the traditional situation that male nurses are clumsy and incompetent in nursing work. " It is understood that due to their outstanding performance, the municipal hospital has taken these two male nurses as the key training targets. In the recruitment next year, if the comprehensive quality and theoretical basis meet the requirements of the hospital, the hospital will be more willing to consider hiring male nurses.
Wang Yuling, who is also the president of Qingdao Nursing Association, said: "Because of the different advantages of male and female nurses, the positions suitable for work are also different. At present, there is still a big gap in the number of nursing staff in our city. With the continuous development of new nursing services such as emergency medicine and blood purification, many hospitals are understaffed. At the same time, more and more jobs and fields need male nurses. It can be said that male nurses will be very popular in medical institutions and the development space will be very broad. "
Traditionally, nurses have always been regarded as women's occupations, but it is understood that at present, due to the influence of traditional concepts, few male candidates apply for nursing majors. In addition, at present, only a few nursing majors in medical colleges recruit male candidates. At present, male nurses have become hot cakes.
"Are boys prejudiced against the nursing profession?" "Why are there so few men studying nursing?" According to a random survey of 20 male students in Kunming Health School, only 4 students expressed their willingness to study nursing or be male nurses, and the remaining 80% students expressed their disinterest in the career of male nurses.
Yang, a sophomore in nursing class, said. "I have never seen a male nurse in the hospital. Nurses should be girls' jobs. Even if I look for a job in the future, I will not be a male nurse. " Chen expressed the opposite opinion. In addition, some female nursing students also think that "it is a bit strange for boys to learn nursing." "
However, since 20001year, Kunming Health School first recruited male students for nursing specialty, the annual employment rate of male students among the fresh graduates of school nursing specialty has reached 100%, showing a situation that supply exceeds demand.
According to Director Li Zhiguo of the Academic Affairs Office, among the 560 nursing students enrolled this year, there are only 12 boys, and there are only 29 boys in the whole nursing class. However, with the development of social medical service and the change of medical system, the demand for male nurses in some special departments of hospitals is increasing gradually. Last year, there were only two male nurses who graduated from nursing major. However, at the employment supply and demand meeting organized by the school, 10 many medical units had the intention to recruit male nurses, and these two male nurses became hot items at the job fair.
At present, some special departments in major hospitals, such as ICU intensive care unit and 120 emergency center, have more demand for male nurses. In addition, some special medical institutions, such as mental hospitals, are more suitable for men to engage in nursing work because of the particularity of their work.
