Well, I'm not in the profession, but my partner has and she has seen a focus on male students at her school, as well as a preference for male nurses in hiring. These are completely anecdotal, of course, so what do we get if we google "men in nursing"? American Assembly for Men in Nursing: http://aamn.org/ http://aamn.org/ Census report on men in nursing fields: https://www.census.gov/people/io/files/Men_in_Nursing_Occupations.pdf https://www.census.gov/people/io/files/Men_in_Nursing_Occupa... An article from Men In Nursing magazine: http://www.nursingcenter.com/journalarticle?Article_ID=658434 http://www.nursingcenter.com/journalarticle?Article_ID=65843... (admittedly on the second page) The Male Nurses Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/MaleNurses/ https://www.facebook.com/MaleNurses/ I just thought male nurses was a particularly poor example, as people are interested in increasing the number of male nurses, and looking at the census report they have been having steady success.
