I meran seriously i can understand womens health issues and all but if your nursing program has a womens health course shouldnt it have a mens health course as well? Im kinda getting tired of hearing about breast cancer and brest canver awareness… wheres the testicular cancer awareness and prostate cancer awareness? Looks to me that medicine is becoming more and more sexist. [http://www.cup.edu/ugcatalog/coursedescriptions/nursing2.htm](http://www.cup.edu/ugcatalog/coursedescriptions/nursing2.htm) NUR 101. WOMEN’S HEALTH ISSUES. This course addresses various health care issues, needs and concerns of women. Emphasis is on the biological, developmental, psychological and social concepts related to women’s health care. OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS. (3 crs.) ---

Hannibal is right. To set a good example you should go get a prostate exam immediately. :eek: ---

i’m a nurse and i think the only reason you hear so much about breast ca and awareness is that the ratio for females vs. males is so much higher.
