Who Is Man Enough To Be A Nurse?
There are more men in nursing today than at any time in history — that’s good for male nurses and the profession. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 13.3% of registered nurses (RNs) in 2021 were men, up from 7% in 2008. As the nation’s population ages, there will be more opportunities for men to join the profession; BLS projects registered nursing jobs to grow 6% from 2021 to 2031 — about as fast as all other occupations.
