Good day my fellow nairalanders.

I just concluded my utme exams, but I am still confused on what part to take. So lately I decided to choose nursing science. But the truth is I don't really know if it will be favourable with respect to my gender....I am a Male. Though I do see male nurses in schools but rarely see them in places of work like hospital....etc.

My questions are;
1. As a male is there anything wrong in being a Nurse?
2. What are the pros and cons in being a male nurse
3. In Nigeria are Nurses valued.... maybe in terms of payment and otherwise.
4. If you are a male Nurse....what would be your advice to an aspirant.
5. Is Nigeria the best place to practice nursing or japa would be better. Talking about japa...US or UK?

Pls if you are a male nurse you can share your advice and experiences they are highly appreciated and valued.
Shalom.

I never knew there are male nurses
Until I heard about that someday and I was like
" male nurse ?
Attending to women or what ?
It sounds mediocrely
Especially among SOME African men who wouldn't want a man to attend to their wives.

But if that's your calling feel alright and go with it.

Male nurses are few compared to the female nurses, but stick to it.
Try University 5 years or school of Nursing 3years, after graduation you will be given a licence.
Thereafter, apply abroad and don't look back.
