Navigating unfamiliar waters: Men in nursing academia
1University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, 800 Algoma Blvd., Oshkosh, WI 54901, United States.
Summary
Male nursing faculty share experiences on entering academia, navigating challenges, and feeling like the "odd man out." Understanding these factors is key to increasing male representation in nursing education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Faculty Diversity
- Men in Nursing
Background:
- Male nursing faculty offer unique, diverse perspectives crucial for the profession's strength.
- Despite calls for faculty diversity, the number of men in nursing academia remains low.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and describe the experiences of male nursing faculty.
- To understand motivations attracting men to academic roles.
- To gather advice for men considering nursing academia.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative descriptive study.
- Interviews with 12 male nursing faculty participants.
Main Results:
- Key themes emerged: motivations for entering academia, navigating an unfamiliar environment, and experiencing a sense of isolation ('being the odd man out').
Conclusions:
- Understanding the unique experiences and challenges faced by male nursing faculty is essential.
- Strategies to support and recruit men into nursing academia are needed to enhance faculty diversity.

01:23States of Water

Water exists in any one of the three classical states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam or water vapor). The state of water depends on i) the intermolecular forces that draw molecules together and ii) the kinetic energy that leads to movements that pull them apart.
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...

The Earth’s hydrosphere includes all of the areas where the storage and movement of water occurs. Since water is the basis of all living processes, the cycling of water is extremely important to ecosystem dynamics.

02:34Water and Mineral Acquisition
35.9K
Specialized tissues in plant roots have evolved to capture water, minerals, and some ions from the soil. Roots exhibit a variety of branching patterns that facilitate this process. The outermost root cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the root surface, thus increasing soil contact. Water can passively cross into roots, as the concentration of water in the soil is higher than that of the root tissue. Minerals, in contrast, are actively transported into root cells.

01:19Quality of Water
578
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

01:03Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions
4.0K
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
