title: The role of the nurse educator when the obstetrical nursing student is male.
abstract: The role of the nurse educator regarding male obstetrical nursing students is to facilitate a more rewarding and successful educational experience for them. The nurse educator can use specific measures to enhance role success and the student's self-concept. The APPA system may be used to accomplish this. The system is a set of strategies that includes avoiding stereotyping, presenting an equitable perspective, providing comparable clinical experiences, and anticipating guidance needed. This will assist the nurse educator in fulfilling role obligations when the obstetrical nursing student is male.
