Do u prefer a male or female nurse?

I am a male nurse. But i never experience difficulties with male or females when nursing. But i hear from others that especially male nurses have difficulties to be accepted in most fields.

@SW-User I had a male nurse who forgot to lube the catheter before inserting it. I can still remember how that hurt.

@katielass oh no! My nurse wasnt getting any urine flow but still started filling the bubble and "mother fk"

@SW-User He didn't insert it far enough. When catheterizing a male it's always further than you think. But you must get return flow before inflating the balloon.

@katielass that guy was a fool

@SW-User I've worked with a few male nurses who just didn't have the skills. And they all had an attitude that they couldn't be told anything.
