There are many reasons for the significantly low percentage of male nurses, mainly, the stereotypical femininity of the field; thus awareness must be raised surrounding the benefits of the profession in order to attract more interest from potential, male applicants.
ONE ARGUMENT
High school boys need to be informed that nursing is a profession, not only for women, but for all individuals that seek a rewarding career with great benefits.
PREMISES
The nursing shortage is becoming greater every year. If more nursing recruiters targeted high school boys to become nurses, the nursing shortage would be eased. Educating high school boys in regards to nursing as a career, not a gender bias profession is the key element. Nursing is a profession that is rewarding and has great benefits. When nursing recruiters go to high schools, the recruiters need to educate the boys that nursing is no longer a feminine career. The recruiters need to let the high school boys that the starting salary for male nurses is on average $2 - $4 more an hour than female nurses. Being a registered nurse not only has great salaries, but also being a RN also gives benefits such as: health insurance, retirement plans, pensions, and most of all, feeling good to help others.
CONCLUSION
The nursing shortage would be eased by recruiting more high school boys to become registered nurses.
