Finding His Path - profile of a male RN
Article here. Excerpt:
"In college, Pultorak earned the opportunity to learn more about ob/gyn care at a midwifery clinic along the Texas-Mexico border. He was the fist male nurse to attend Maternidad La Luz in El Paso, TX, and was very well accepted.
'They had never let a male go down to Texas,' Pultorak said, 'because they said the attitudes of the women giving birth were not supportive of having a male in on a birth or in on any examinations.'
...
'I know some male nurses are alienated or outcast, but I've never had that problem,' Pultorak said. 'I plan on staying at this hospital for as long as I can because I'm seeing so much and learning so much. I'm also having a great experience with the people I work with and my managers and educators on the floor. It's been more than I could hope for.'"
