I’m curious. I’m a male undergraduate student about to switch to a nursing course and wondering if there are as many guys as there are girls doing nursing jobs?

    There are more men in nursing than you might think.You often can find financing for college easier to find in a nontraditional area.I work with several male nurses.We have a shortage of nurses so its a good field to get into.Especially if you enjoy taking care of people.

    Women definitely dominate nursing still, but there are more men getting into it then ever before.

    Also, there are certain departments where the RNs are mostly guys, such as the ER and the ICU.

    Male nurses, represent!!

    While women continue to dominate the field of nursing, men are beginning to make a strong showing.

    One third of my nursing school class were men.

    Good Luck

    I would say that somewhere between 10 & 15 percent of the nurses that work at my hospital are guys.
