This chapter explores the salience of age-related issues alongside gender in a sample of Baby Boomer (age 51+) and Millennial (age 23–31) nurses from the US to understand how age shapes the experiences and interactions of men and women in the nursing workforce. Based on survey data, Millennial nurses report feeling negative emotions more intensely compared to their Baby Boomer colleagues. Baby Boomer nurses are also more likely to evaluate their own care more highly overall and across a range of specific features of the job. Audio diary data reveals that themes of uncertainty and fear of future emotional burnout emerge from Millennial nurses, while some Baby Boomer nurses in our sample express open disdain for younger nurses in terms of work ethic and the interruptions they cause. Training of younger nurses can be experienced as burdensome and exhausting. We use the results to further theorise an emotion practice approach that highlights nurses’ need to conserve emotional resources and channel them toward patient care rather than co-worker support.","PeriodicalId":433627,"journal":{"name":"Gender, Age and Inequality in the Professions","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127279563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interviews with doctors at different career stages and in different professional settings in Finland are analysed. The analysis demonstrates that the interviewed doctors were not eager to construct the gendered and age-related constraints they or their colleagues face at work as markers of illegitimate inequality. The doctors were more eager to view work-related constraints as the result of personal choices and emphasise doctors’ private responsibility to manage their work and careers. In this chapter, we contextualise these observations as features of the ‘male’ profession of medicine and the profession’s emphasis on middle-class masculinity, which, despite the growing proportion of female physicians in younger cohorts, dominates over other career and work orientations in the culture of the Finnish medical field. The culture of male professions values individual endurance and freedom from family responsibilities, which may have problematic consequences for young doctors, particularly young mothers, whose childcare responsibilities can","PeriodicalId":433627,"journal":{"name":"Gender, Age and Inequality in the Professions","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121569280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
