The Men in Nursing initiative is highly interactive with nursing students from Ulster University demonstrating clinical skills such as hand washing, using a defibrillator, blood pressure pulse, CPR, trauma and wound dressings, mental health and bed giving the young men a practical insight and hands on experience of the profession.
Men represent a small percentage of the nursing workforce and this activity aims to challenge the stigma and inspire males to consider Nursing as a positive career choice.
This project aimed to address the stereotypical view of nursing as a female only profession and in doing increase boy's knowledge and awareness about nursing and to influence perceptions so that they would consider nursing as a viable option in the future.
Participants will demonstrate key nursing skills as part of this initiative including Basic Life Support, Handwahsing and Blood pressure/pulses, trauma and wound dressing and much more.
