The fact that nursing employs more women than men may lead to the assumption that this is a female profession, and the gender-specifying name of the profession additionally supports such views. Social classification of roles to women’s and men’s is perhaps nowhere else as evident as in nursing. The assumption that nursing has always been female occupation is incorrect, as evidenced by historical records, and only in the 19th century founder of modern nursing Florence Nightingale, by her belief that the concern and care for the sick is reserved only for women, led to the feminization of nursing. Although the number of male nurses is today higher than in 19th century, they are still faced with numerous stereotypes at their workplaces but also in the society.
