New men’s organization the first at ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÏÂÔØ
May 23, 2023 — DALLAS — Texas Woman’s University has a unique mission as the country’s largest university system primarily for women. Now, there is a new organization at ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÏÂÔØ Dallas with a focus of its own that seeks to set itself apart, at least at ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÏÂÔØ. The is the first organization at ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÏÂÔØ geared toward men.
The ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÏÂÔØ chapter of AAMN is open to any student, faculty or staff member with an interest in increasing the number of males entering the nursing profession and enhancing men’s health across the nation.
, recent DFW Great 100 Nurses list honoree, is a board member of the national AAMN organization. In that role, he knew exactly where to point three students — Christian Guella, Michael Nelson and Rafa Mobarak — when they approached him this year with an interest in starting a male nursing student organization.
“Why not start a chapter of AAMN here on the Dallas campus?” Williams asked.
The new ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÏÂÔØ Dallas chapter of AAMN recently established its presence during a new nursing student orientation session and connected with 15-20 students interested in joining the new chapter.
In the upcoming academic year, the nascent chapter has tentative plans for volunteer work including health screenings, a career day for ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÏÂÔØ alumni to speak about the transition from student to novice nurses, and an advanced practice nursing career day that will welcome nurse practitioners, a certified midwife, clinical nurse specialists and a certified registered nurse anesthetist.
