"This program is a great view into the world of nursing, from a male's point of view. As a nursing student I found it useful in learning new roles and jobs available for me. I showed it to many of my male nursing student friends and they all agree."
Gabriel Dietsch, nursing student
We see lively footage of these men at work and hear answer to the following questions questions:
• What are the best ways to attract males to nursing? Have you been involved in efforts to recruit other males?
• What challenges have you encountered by entering a traditionally female profession?
• Why did you chose nursing?
• What have you found to be the biggest rewards from your nursing career?
• What is the role of technology in your job?
• What has your career path been and what are your plans for the future?
• How hard is nursing school? What is the role of continuing education in your nursing practice?
• What stereotypes or misplaced perceptions would you like to address as a man in nursing?
• Who were your role models in nursing?
• Do you have a life outside nursing?
