In Brazil, there are TONS of male nurses working in hospitals, and there is not stigma at all to name of the profession (at least from my various experiences with hospitals and ERs).
The fact that Portuguese has declension to indicate gender in this particular word ('enfermeiro' is male, 'enfermeira' is female) might play a role in this.
