Why are there so many more female nurses than male nurses?

Answer 1

My observation, having worked in a hospital auditing medical charts:

Still a stigma is attached to the profession of the nurse, of which men tend to veer away from.

Another factor may be is, there are still more male doctors than female doctors, and female nurses are more quiescent, more pliable to male doctors than are male nurses.

Plainly, till men move into the nursing profession, female nurses will continue to abound. When men begin to move into this field, which is sure to happen sooner than later, greater changes will occur overall.

Nurse job mostly is to take care of patients. they are more close to patients than doctors..
maybe, generally people view females as 'care-taker' (just like a mother who manages her children (the food, bedtime story telling,..)).
It doesn't mean that male doesn't have this characteristic..

Answer 5

Gender discrimination. Women work more for less pay.
