Opportunities for Men in Health Careers
Testimonials

	John Boticelli, Vice President of Human Resources St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield, WI “Check us out. Give us the opportunity to show what health care has to offer. Drop the stereotypes in terms of what you think health care might represent, especially for males. We have many opportunities at competitive pay and benefit levels. What we have to offer a male is an opportunity to earn more comparably what he may have been making in a manufacturing environment but with the stability of salary continuance which in a manufacturing environment especially there is not always that guarantee.”

	Mike Lange, Director of Laboratory Services Riverview Hospital, Wisconsin Rapids, WI “There is a huge need for skilled phlebotomists. Finding people that have been properly educated has been difficult. I just have to believe that men are going to have to start filling in more of these roles. I think there is going to be a great opportunity for men in these professions. They pay well and the work environment is fantastic. I see men fitting in very well.”

	Steve Bradley, Surgical Technologist St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield, WI; MSTC graduate “As a surgical technologist, I set up a sterile field and the instruments. During the case, we assist the surgeons by handling instruments and holding retractors”. “Surgical Technology is a great opportunity for males. The career can be a stepping stone to other health careers”.

	Mike Stalker, Registered Nurse King Veterans Home, MSTC graduate “Nursing is not a job that I dreamed about in high school. When faced with a change and the need to pay bills, the practical side of me said, “They need RNs period. There is a shortage of RNs”. You can go anywhere and do just about anything. I like that flexibility.” “If you are thinking of a second career because your job has been downsized or gone for whatever reason in these hard economic times, consider nursing. Being male is a benefit in nursing. It’s not considered a woman’s field anymore. I can give the male patients things that the female RNs can’t. My clientele at the Veterans Home appreciate having a male nurse”.
