Ditch Stereotypes About Male Nurses
Men become Nurses for the same reason women act, to take care of people. And even though Male Nurses are becoming more common, they still face constant stereotyping on the job.
In order to provide optimum care and reduce health disparities, our healthcare professionals should be as diverse as the patient population they help. This means Men must become equally represented in the Nursing field.
Increasing the number of Men in Nursing is seen as difficult because of social stigmas and stereotypes. Some common stereotypes that must be crushed are:

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) wants nursing programs to employ more diverse recruitment strategies to recruit underrepresented groups in nursing to occupy some of these gaps, such as men.
