"Nursing is one of the fastest growing job fields in this country according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's also a job, though, that is plagued by stereotypes, gender stereotypes in particular. Nearly 90 percent of all nurses today are women.” Please take a few minutes to listen to the podcast to learn how our socialized lens of recognizing masculinity impacts the career of nursing.
Why More Men Don't Get Into The Field Of Nursing
- Generations – A generation is a group of people born around the same time and raised around the same place. People in this “birth cohort” exhibit similar characteristics, preferences, and values over their lifetimes. At The Center for Generational Kinetics, we believe that generations are not a box; instead, they are powerful clues showing where to begin connecting with and influencing people of different ages. There are big differences between the generations and it's important to know the years when each generation begins and ends. Source
- People of Color – Includes U.S. citizens who do not identify as only white or Caucasian under the current U.S. Census ethnicity categories. This is the preferred and most inclusive term, currently. Source
- Gender Queer– A person’s gender identity or gender expression that does not align with the gender binary (male and female). Source
