Nursing: A Rewarding Career Choice
for Both Genders
Thanks to a steady pay check, an
abundance of employment opportunities, and stable job growth, nursing has
become one of the highest "in demand" professions in the country. One of the reasons
for this field's growth in popularity, is due to a variety of opportunities
within the nursing profession. From working in a traditional hospital setting,
to providing in home nursing assistance or hospice care, there is no shortage
of unique and exciting career opportunities for nurses.
Traditionally, there has been several degree tracks which lead towards obtaining nursing certification. However, over the course of ten years, many hospitals have eliminated positions for licensed practical nurses, instead opting to hire registered nurses who have obtained a bachelor’s of science in nursing.
While nursing has remained a popular degree choice for women in college, men are starting to excel in this historically female dominated field. One of the biggest hurdles that male nurses face, is a negative stereotype. Many people assume that male nurses are simply medical students who were unable to become physicians for various reasons. Most male nurses cite their reasoning for entering the nursing field, as being due to a desire to provide empathetic, personalized care to their patients. While the average salary of a male nurse remains slightly higher than females, there is more gender equality within the field of nursing than among most other lines of work. Read actual facts on males in the nursing field, as well as general nursing career statistics, in this male vs. female nurse infographic created by Carrington.edu.
