YEEGADS! Male Nurses either can be an asset or a living nightmare especially on Night Shift!
The real problem isn't "male nurses", but the lack of reliable national biometric ID system. Nursing homes are full of workers with criminal pasts, but when they apply under an assumed name (sometimes that of another person, so no problem getting SS#, and even job references to check out), there's simply no way of verifying who they really are and what they've done in the past. And most nursing homes can't afford to be picky, or to spend a lot of money doing extensive background checks -- not a whole lot of first rate people applying for graveyard shift jobs cleaning bedpans and soiled diapers, and the patients aren't exactly in a position to pay big bucks or to demand better care.
