Why aren't there more men in nursing? I was one of four guys in my program when I did my undergraduate degree and one of two in my graduate program. There do not seem to be too many men entering nursing, based on what I am seeing in the program in which I am an instructor. I think that nursing needs more men, not only to help the ratio, but to provide a different perspective to nursing, just as women offer to medicine. I would like to hear some opinions from the men and women in nursing. How can we recruit more men into the field, and do we want to do this? I came to nursing as a second career choice. I liked working in hospitals and knew that that was where I wanted to be, and I found nursing to be the most flexible profession, at the time. I think that it remains the most flexible and most varied profession in healthcare today. Thank you in advance for your comments and insights. joenp
