The Danish Male Nurse

I’m Martin, a 39-year-old Registered Nurse with a BSN and over 15 years of experience in healthcare, including emergency medicine, psychiatry, and time served as a Navy medic.

On The Danish Male Nurse, my YouTube channel, I aim to bridge the gap between nursing theory and practical application, sharing knowledge, tips, and insights to help nurses at all stages of their careers. Whether you're a student seeking clarity on anatomy and physiology, a seasoned professional looking to refine your practice, or simply someone curious about the dynamic world of nursing, this channel is for you.

Join me as I explore topics like patient care, stress management, and the ever-evolving challenges of our profession and test out health myths, all delivered with a mix of education, real-world experience, and a touch of humour. Let’s navigate the journey of nursing together!


The Danish Male Nurse

Florence Nightingale is often celebrated as a pioneering figure in nursing, known for her heroic efforts during the Crimean War. However, there’s a lesser-known side to her story that raises important questions about her legacy. Recent research suggests that her role in transforming the Scutari Hospital may have been overstated. Critics, including Sir John Hall, accused her of ambition that conflicted with the needs of the medical department and the soldiers she aimed to help.

While she is credited with reducing mortality rates, new findings indicate that the death toll among soldiers was alarmingly high during her first winter, with 4,077 soldiers dying from diseases like typhus and cholera. It wasn't until 1857 that Nightingale recognized the dire conditions within the hospitals as a significant factor in these deaths.

This video dives deep into the complexities of Nightingale's contributions and challenges the narrative we often hear.
