Men in nursing

Yes Man《好好先生》精讲之六

The history of male nurses

Contrary to the perceptions of some, paid nursing has been an exclusively male dominated field for most of human history, starting with the world's first nursing school which opened in India in 250 B.C., and because of religiously driven misogyny at that time in history, only men were considered "pure" enough to be nurses. On the other hand, throughout history, unpaid nursing has been exclusively the province of women from cradle to grave. From "nursing" their babies, children and partners, to midwifing future generations, and then taking care of their parents in old age, women perform 99 percent of the nursing done, which has mostly been unpaid.

Nursing was mainly done by males during the Byzantine Empire. During plagues that swept through Europe, nurses that were male were primary caregivers, and in 300 B.C men in the Parabolani created a hospital and provided nursing care.

Military, religious, and lay orders of men continued to provide nursing care throughout the Middle Ages. St. John of God and St. Camillus de Lellis were both nurses who are now considered saints. Walt Whitman, a poet and a writer, volunteered as a hospital nurse in Washington, DC during the Civil War.

Nursing schools for men were common in the United States until the early 1900, more than half of those offering paid nursing services to the ill and injured were men. Yet by 1930, men constituted fewer than 1% of RNs in the United States. As they found other, more lucrative occupations, they left nursing behind.

Male nurses today

More men are joining women by entering the nursing profession, in which they discover that it is a competitive and challenging career. "Study after study demonstrates that men come to the nursing profession for the same reasons women do. They want to care for sick and injured people, they want a challenging profession, and they want reasonable job security with good wages".

As many Western nations are facing a shortage of nurses, many governments and nursing schools are actively recruiting more men as nurses. When the University of Pittsburgh increased its admission requirements for its nursing program, the number of male applicants spiked significantly.
