Breaking the stigma against male nurses

NURSES serve as primary-care practitioners, assuming responsibility for the treatment, safety, and recovery of patients. For ages, the nursing profession has been traditionally associated with women. Early accounts of nurses exclusively mention women, even though men and women both assisted in patient care back then.

Florence Nightingale regarded nursing as a viable occupation for women because of its alignment with their traditional domestic responsibilities. She had a significant role in solidifying nursing as a predominantly female profession.
