Seven male nurses made history for charge nurse, Mona Molloy when her shift was staffed by an all-male team for the first time at the St. John’s Health Science Centre this month.
Molloy said it was the first time she led an all men team on floor 4NB at the Health Science Hospital.
She said, “boys we have to get a picture. I’ve been at the Health Science Centre since 1997, but in my 32 years I never had a complete all male staff for a whole entire shift.”
Ryan Spear, one of the nurses on staff that night said it’s a sign that more men are entering the industry.
He added “when I first started on 4North B, I believe there were 3 or 4 of us, it’s just growing. More and more males are going, and within nursing school as well, you see more men,” he said.
