Men Nurses: A Historical and

¶ … Men nurses: a historical and feminist perspective" discusses in regard to how male nurses have been discriminated throughout history and concerning how society in general has a tendency to regard this job as being strictly for women. The writer appears to consider this to be unfair for men and emphasizes that the masses need to refrain from using stereotypes when they are talking about particular concepts.

The topic is delicate because people are focused on maintaining certain gender boundaries in spite of the fact that this is especially wrong in the twenty-first century's civilized world. Evans' article is meant to provide readers with more information concerning men nurses in Canada, Britain, and the U.S. It relates to how gender is very important today and concerning how nursing is typically perceived as a job that is performed by women.

While nursing as a strictly women activity has prevented men from being properly appreciated in this field of work, it has also paradoxically provided numerous opportunities for them to experience success. Method Evans' method appears to generalize the phenomenon of interest. However, it is also effective because it provides readers with a thorough examination of men nurses and society's attitude toward them.

The fact that the CINAHL, PubMed, and Sociological Abstract databases contain a great deal of situations involving the benefits and detriments that men nurses experience as a result of their job is essential in generating results regarding the topic under discussion. Sampling The sampling process involves both men who experienced problems because they chose to become nurses and men who benefited greatly as a result of the endeavor.

However, the writer sometimes tends to focus on men who occupied leadership positions and tends to undermine the position of men in the field of work. By emphasizing that men nurses are more probable to occupy leadership positions in comparison to women nurses, in spite of the fact that the difference is not very significant, Evans apparently wants to highlight that the job generally favors men. Data Collection The writer does not use human experience in order to collect data.

Evans is inclined to focus on surveys and reviews and this makes it difficult for readers to get a more complex understanding of the matter. A first-person perspective on the topic would probably be more effective in order to have readers familiarized with it. Data Analysis Evans' choice to use the CINAHL, PubMed, and Sociological Abstract databases as a main source for her article practically means that she did not observe a nursing environment where both men and women are present and has a limited comprehension of the subject.

In spite of the fact that she remains true to the data and that she follows the steps described for data analysis, she has a predisposition toward accentuate the fact that men nurses are typically provided with preferential treatment. The writer considered a complex account regarding male nurses in these three countries, but her findings are generally directed at putting men nurses in a bad position. Findings The article's findings are presented within the larger context involving nurses in Great Britain, Canada, and the U.S.

Even with this, readers are probable to be influenced to believe that men nurses act as a pollutant in the field of work. Readers are also provided with the general image of the topic as Evans does not hesitate to emphasize that many men nurses end up having low paid jobs because hospitals are unwilling to hire them. Conclusions, Implications, and Recommendations Evans' conclusions are true with regard to the study's findings, but the writer continues to relate to how the fact that society is predominantly patriarchal.
