Ok this stereotype will die hard one day, but lets start with some history. Nursing first came into being in the USA by men ( mainly 16-22 year olds) and women really didn’t get into it until WW1 when all the men left to fight the war. Somewhere along the way some idiot apparently started assisting male nurses with gays. Now i don’t know where that idiotic idea originated from maybe someone can fill me in. A friend of mine who is a guy nurse working in the ER told me to were a fake wedding ring to work if I get tired of people asking if im gay all the time. ( he had to turn over 10 people in for harassment for spreading rumors about him being gay when he was not) I knew going into this that i would have to put up with crap from people thinking this way, but i dont care i love helping people, and this job fits very well for me. I just dont know how to deal with this constant question. any ideas.
