This year, the school of nursing of Guangzhou University of traditional Chinese medicine enrolled 202 freshmen, including 56 boys. Song Yang, vice president of the school of nursing of Guangzhou University of traditional Chinese medicine, said that compared with the carefulness of girls, male nurses do have an advantage in physical strength. According to statistics, the average monthly salary of nursing graduates of Guangzhou University of traditional Chinese medicine is about 7000 yuan. According to different departments and job categories, the salary of some graduates may exceed 10000 yuan two years after graduation, and they are more likely to become competent nurse ten years later.
There are a series of historical reasons for the long-standing 'Gender Tendency' of a specific occupation, which is difficult to be simply attributed to 'discrimination' or 'prejudice'. The nurse line is a typical 'female dominated occupation'. Although the situation has improved in recent years, up to now, the gender structure of the working group has not changed significantly. In this context, news such as' male nurses are booked before graduation, and their salary exceeds 10000 two years after graduation 'is actually quite encouraging. In fact, over the years, the news about "male nurses" and "male kindergarten teachers" has attracted people's attention.
In the traditional impression, nurses need love, care and patience, which is defaulted to be women's natural advantage. With the evolution of modern medical theory and technical means, some diagnosis and treatment processes become more and more complex and long, which can be described as time-consuming and labor-consuming, which makes the physical advantage of male nurses more valuable. For example, some major operations often take more than ten hours, and many female nurses can't carry them; For another example, in orthopedic departments, male nurses are also responsible for assisting patients to stand or special posture treatment for a long time & hellip& hellip; In theory, with the rapid increase of workload brought by the progress of medical diagnosis and treatment, the role of male nurses will continue to be enlarged.
However, it should be expected that those laborious jobs may be replaced by intelligent machines. At this stage, the value of male nurses is often based on better physical fitness and energy, which is not irreplaceable. In a sense, the increase in the demand for 'strong physical strength' male nurses in hospitals is more like a cyclical phenomenon. Since it comes from the expansion of labor caused by the refinement of modern medical diagnosis and treatment, it may eliminate the alternative auxiliary scheme formed by medical devices. It must be admitted that compared with female nurses, male nurses do not have many unique advantages except better physical fitness.
If we try to give rigorous suggestions on studying and choosing a career, we must answer a fundamental question: is the "strong demand" for male nurses in the medical industry sustainable? Can the nursing profession continue to be transformed into a 'gender neutral' profession? In theory, this is not impossible. You know, in terms of the future development direction, not only the physical advantages of male nurses will become less important, but also the traditional advantages of female nurses will no longer be obvious. Female nurses have always been praised for their patience and carefulness. Male nurses can also have it through systematic professional education, standardized training and standardized management in the hospital.
In modern society, the Unbalanced Gender Structure of nurses has no reason to continue to exist. In the new education and professional ecology, on the premise that the 'advantages' of female nurses and male nurses tend to be erased, we should return to the same starting line to compete and cooperate.
