Two longtime nurses and nurse educators, Dr. Randy Johnson and Professor William Wood of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Nursing, discuss the representation of men in nursing and what it will take to grow it. They share how they found their way into the profession, the stereotypes and obstacles they encountered along the way, and why men remain underrepresented in areas like obstetrics, neonatal care, and pediatrics. The conversation looks at how recruitment could start as early as grade school, how professional organizations can support male students, and why a more diverse workforce benefits patients and the profession.
