Nursing duties should not be gender specific. Hey men, lets go lift this heavy patient, because barbie the nurse cant do it. Hey ladies, lets go give Mrs Smith a back massage and stroke her hair, because men aren't sensitive enough to care about her discomfort. See how ridiculous this sounds. Even if the day never comes that nurses are not recognized as a specific gender, but for their ability, I will always make sure that lives will be changed for the better. That is what nursing is all about.

I like the way that your last sentences sum the issue up. "...always make sure that lives are changed for the better." Thanks for the insight.
