Male Association of Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania (MAN-UP)
 

 

Welcome to the home page of the Male Association of Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania. We are an organization that provides:

1.    A forum for discussion of factors affecting male nurses as well as barriers that place undue hardship on men interested in pursue a career in nursing.

2.     A collective voice to speak out in support of men in nursing and to bring to light inadequacies in nursing education or nursing practice.

3.     Support for members academically, socially and professionally.

4.     School and campus wide educational opportunities focused on men’s health.

5.     Assistance in recruiting and retaining qualified male nursing students.

6.     Foster a spirit of collaboration with national nursing organizations.

We are open to all members of the nursing community--students, faculty, and practicing nurses, male and female!  Please contact us for meeting info.

Getting more men into nursing is a common goal among nursing schools. The American Assembly for Men in Nursing has given the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing the 2006 Best School Award for its continued efforts in recruiting and retaining men in nursing. MAN-UP President, Ben Eithun, recently accepted the Award on behalf of Penn at the Annual AAMN Convention in Portland, Oregon.
