Abstract

Men have a long-standing history in the nursing profession. Once a predominantly male-dominated field, the history of male nurses is not well documented. The history of men in nursing is filled with pioneers whose impact influenced the current climate and future of nursing and male nurses. Although there have been fewer men in nursing in modern times, their presence is significant for the profession.
