I have decided to do my presentation by memory so I don't have to read them from my power point. So, you ladies can go crazy and give me your idea heart throbs that you think will keep the attention of my class. Oh don't worry about the teachers,,,,they're all about men,,,you should hear 'em talk. Anyways, I know my yt family will come through for me.....NO MAN BASHING PLEASE!!!!!! NO THREAD KILLERS PLEAZE!1
Ok. Please dont take offense to this.
Having been an RN for decades and having to fight the old "head nurse" jokes, "do I get a sponge bath, nurse" jokes and the worst of all fighting to get rid of the dresses and nursing caps... I am not really sure I am following why you are using HOT men in your presentation. I cant tell you how many guy friends have asked me...Do you know any hot available nurses??
Granted, most people have no idea what is involved in day to day nursing careers. Not many people understand our responsibilities or situations that we have to endure.
I have travelled all over the country as a travel RN and have worked with some incredible guys! AND I MEAN INCREDIBLE! I was proud to work next to them. What they had to offer and teach was so much bigger than what they looked like!!!!
So, I just think if you are using HOT guys on your PP presentation, I think the girls in your class may miss the gut of your presentation!!! I know I wouldnt be listening to anything you had to say if you had Patrick Dempsey in just some jeans.!!!
The nursing shortage is incredible! Especially in Florida. We are 10K short!!
I believe MEN are the answer to our NURSING SHORTAGE!
So many years everyone thought nursing was just for women. Men NEVER even thought about nursing!!! WE have to create a new culture. The more people you teach about men in nursing the better our situation will be.
I am glad to hear you talking about the subject and hope it just doesnt stop in your class!!!
