[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Really? I've never heard that about male nurses. Do you have a source? I definitely agree on men in childcare. But then again, nannying is not exactly a lucrative or high status career.[/quote] There is a ton of sexism towards men in nursing. Often they are given patients who need more physical care or who are more aggressive - the thinking being a man is stronger and that a man can deal with stuff that women don't want to. Their safety is less important. Society overall is far less concerned with men being hurt on the job than women. Over 93% of occupational fatalities are male. Male nurses also have to put up with jokes about how they went into nursing just to see naked women or that they are gay etc.. They are not assumed to be as caring or as compassionate. Males in nursing tend to gravitate towards the more crisis oriented positions (ER, psych, critical care) and are more accepted in those areas. [/quote]
