Now, the number of men working in the nursing sector has reached a seven year low. Members of male nurses increased between 2011 and 2014 and reached a peak of 7168. This figure has dropped to only 6924 in 2017. The UK health secretary said this is clearly a cultural problem, and probably one that exists in many parts of the world. “ But we can make efforts to change that now, we want to persuade males to think about career options of going into nursing.
