摘要:

Men and women grow up in different cultures and as a result learn different lessons about “appropriate” adult behaviors. But these lessons are invisible to us and that creates a variety of work-related problems. This article addresses the double bind and hidden expectations that nursing executives face as a member of the male-dominated administration team.

摘要:

Gender socialization of American nurses mirrors the socialization of women in our society. Societal influences have perpetuated the development of nursing as a predominantly female gender specific occupation.

摘要:

The term “glass ceiling” is an apt metaphor for the challenges executive women face as they advance in health care management. Women who break through this glass ceiling are those who see their opportunities, sense the looming barriers to advancement, choose carefully whether to stay within an environment unfriendly to women or to seek advancement elsewhere, and use their talents as women to bring a focus on outcomes to the organization, as well as empowerment to the people within it.

摘要:

Sexual harassment in health care institutions presents a formidable challenge for nurse leaders as solutions and accountabilities get mired in power, politics, and a historical tradition of secrecy and silence. Harassment is devastating to all individuals, but especially to women because it blatantly violates the victim's personal autonomy and individual sense of equality. Sexual harassment lingers in the corridors of all types of organizations, preying on women as they struggle to overcome cultural and socially imposed barriers. Nurse executives must learn the subtle complexities surrounding harassment, voice strong opposition against harassment, and take swift and comprehensive action to prevent sexual harassment.

摘要:

Discrimination has many facets. In nursing there is as much discrimination as there is in any other group. Reverse discrimination, that is discrimination toward men in nursing, is evident even though it is well hidden. There are many situations and opportunities for the minority group in nursing (men) to experience the vagaries of gender prejudice in the same concentration as women experience in their attempt to integrate in more male-dominated professions. It is valuable to take time to denote the characteristics of gender bias in nursing and to identify mechanisms for handling it.

摘要:

Men comprise a small minority of professional nurses in the United States. Yet men in nursing earn more money than women on average, and they are overrepresented in administration and other prestigious specialties. This article explores the hidden advantages for men in the profession, focusing on (1) hiring and promotions, (2) relationships with physicians and colleagues, and (3) relationships with patients. Data from in-depth interviews with male nurses throughout the United States are used to demonstrate that cultural and social stereotypes about masculinity pressure men into some of the best-paying and most prestigious nursing specialties. Administrators are encouraged to develop more gender-sensitive criteria for evaluating performance that reward both reputedly “masculine” and “feminine” qualities.
