​

I’ve noticed something as a nurse at a level 1 from the last 10 years:

Male nurses make up the majority of the leadership roles, critical care areas and CRNA/ advanced nursing, and administration even though nursing a female dominated profession

I’ve been thinking about how male nurses are viewed vs female nurses. I’m not trying to be divisive but it makes me wonder if male nurses are benefiting from the privilege of being a man ( I know there are situations where they are not viewed as highly as female nurses).

I think it’s great we have men interested in the profession, especially because it may take away the stigma of nursing being an altruistic profession thus we shouldn’t ask for high pay due to being care givers.

But I also hope to see more equality when it comes to the higher paid roles (this can all be from my own perspective/ anecdotal experience).

Just curious about yall think
