For Luke Yokota, one of the most challenging aspects of being a male nurse, is not the work, but people’s attitudes towards his choice of profession. His determination to challenge gender stereotypes and show that it’s ok for men to care, saw him nominated as 2020 Qld Young Australian of the Year, and also appointed as chair of the national Men in Nursing Working Party. On this episode of Remarkable Tales, Luke Yokota tells us how he’s found his voice to encourage more men into the profession.Read the podcast transcript at: https://www.griffith.edu.au/podcasts/remarkable-tales/luke-yokota-podcast-transcript/

Episode 31 - Luke Yokota

So let me start this post by saying, this guy is the definition of #NurseGoals.  When Sue and I started this podcast and we wanted a category for a certain group of nurses who just great things, then this is the type of nurse we had in mind.  Namely, Luke Yokota has been nominated as Young Australian of the Year 2020.  That comes off the back of the work that Luke has recently done with campaigning for men in nursing.  Luke is the Chair of the Australian College of Nursing's Working Party for Men in Nursing and has been instrumental in the development on an eBook which seeks to address the barriers with the recruitment and retention of male nurses.  He shares with us today everything that he is doing to encourage blokes to come into our fabulous profession, because, as his mantra indicates: it's ok to care
