There aren't many campaigns to get more men into Nursing, AFAIK, although it is a very important profession with an extremely heavy gender skew.
- paulv 12y agohttp://aamn.org/ http://aamn.org/. 2nd result if you google "men nursing".
- theworst 12y agoYes, they exist. But compare the dollars and hours poured into encouraging females to go into male-driven fields. I have noticed a relative paucity of anything purporting to be focused on men. I understand that men have the advantage in general, but in specific fields, this isn't the case. My (male) cousin is in nursing school right now; >80% of the class is female, and he regularly gets teased about being a male nurse. Heck, the movie "Meet the Fokkers" had that as one of the central jokes: Ben Stiller is a male nurse! Haha, isn't that funny?
- watwut 12y agoI just googled "more men into nursing" with no quote and some are actually working on it.
