Actually no, men in nursing are discriminated against and have it pretty hard. See for example this link: http://www.minoritynurse.com/article/men-nursing http://www.minoritynurse.com/article/men-nursing > studies have shown that male student nurses experience additional barriers and discrimination, such as: lack of information and support from guidance counselors; lack of sufficient role models; unequal clinical opportunities and requirements; isolation; poor instruction on the appropriate use of touch; and a lack of teaching strategies appropriate to male learning needs. See also the section headline "Why Men Do Not Pursue Nursing" which goes into more detail in the difficulties they face.
