Base? Liar..beware of people like this on Nairaland. Most Doctors don't even make that much before taxes. If a nurse made that much, most doctors and engineers would be Nurses by now or go on strike. The average salary for an anesthetist, a certified experienced one not a chief anesthetist Nurse, is under $150,000. My wife is one...certified anesthetist with over 10 yrs experience; so I know and she knows what her colleagues take home pay is!

No man wakes up in the morning and decides to be a nurse.

Condition na im make crayfish bend.

Most went into nursing for the money.

But most of the male nurses are gay or closet gay.

Nursing is the profession that will help them stay in touch with their inner femininity.

I bet they get off inserting urinary catheter into a male patient.

I will not be caught dead being attended by a male nurse.

Simple as that.

I'm a male nurse, I enjoyed the profession during my days in school, I never for once used my hand to cook its always cooler ministry *winks*, now running my BNSC and hey, people should stop thinking its because of poverty or inability to gain admission dat made some guyz to turn into nursing at least in my sch, nursing students pay 1m which is enough to run medicine in some universities in Nigeria( 100-600l)..back to the question, I hate anything gynae........ I love occupational health nursing just that its only UCH,Ibadan that is offering it for now.

To me, I always feel that naturally nursing as a profession is for the females. So I don't see any reason as to why men should enter into such profession. It doesn't bring out the real men in them. We fail to understand that God gave women the most special gift of caring and so the females are better off doing such work than the males.

If your wife wants to move to mcallen, tx and is willing to take one call shift a week and a weekend call every month, with her 10 years of experience, we can start her off at $186,000/year plus 54,000 for taking calls (6 weeks paid vacation). Let me know if she's interested. I can have a representative from northstar anesthesia call her within the next 24 hours.
If she has OB experience, it's $2100 for 24hr OB shifts.

Pay for Crna's depends on where you live. In NYC, starting pay for Crna is about $125,000 which is something a new grad nurse makes in San jose, CA.

That's one of of job postings on gaswork for OB.
Not every Nigerian is out there to scam you. Never ever in your life think you know everything because you probably don't. And yes, Some CrnA's make way more than family practice physicians.

There's nothing seducing about a woman in pains with sweat experiencing delivery and all you can think of is kitten?

That's cos you are not a nurse and probably a kid from your comment.

And many of us abuse Jonathan as clueless when even most of the youths are worse than he is. The stereotypes I have read on this topic tells me how ignorant many of us are and how we display our ignorance with high level of pride. If you are a male and you find yourself in nursing either by choice or coincidence, strive to be the best you can be and let the quality of your work speak for you.

Hey dude! Call it what you want.

No male nurse will touch me. About 90% of them act like females.

The ones that act macho may be on the down-low.

I will err on the side of caution on this one.

By the way, you know there are male nannies, beauticians, etc. too.

These are jobs real men should not be caught doing.

But if you are a nurse yourself...well you are one of a kind--a special breed of male.

No come here pretend say all is well

The same way naija people dey see male nurses, na same way Americans dey see am.

The difference be say Americans will be nice around you in order not to hurt your feelings.

But come on! As people don challenge you now, the only thing you fit talk na how much CRNA dey make.

Like I said, it is all about the money for those sissy males.

My biggest issue is that even though somewhat embellished, he thinks that $240k/yr is a lot of money @ smilling to the bank.

May be, because it is in Texas.

Some people are so new to things.

Well...Good luck Chief Kent.

Well, am not a nurse but i know lots of male nurses in Nigeria. Many of them are addressed as "doctor' and they love it like that. Deep down, i know they have this '......' complex .
The Laboratory technologists have convinced them that they can obtain equality with the medical profession , thus ,the Creation of JOHESU which presently wrecking havoc on the nigerian health sector!
