What is the connection of gender to nursing?

Question

or.. what is the connection of gender to health care?

Answer 1

NONE.

Answer 2

The connection is a sociological one more than a personal one.

In the days of tribal families, women were essentially out of commission for nine months while having children. To compensate, women did housework and took care of the children they already had. Social structures evolved around that sort of thing, and so did humans.

It's not set in stone. Men can make great nurses and health care workers. But a great deal of nurses are women that have very little other formal training and were (probably) married or in a relationship before that training.

Women aren't better than men at nursing, but many believe the biological ability of women to be more diverse and sensitive (not necessarily kind) leads to better nursing ability. Some extreme feminists would prefer women nurses because they are inherently distrustful of men's sexual motives.

Answer 3

Only females can successfully nurse, because men's t*t.s are useless...

Answer 4

i think its whatever world war it was that nurses became in demand.

since all the dudes were fighting, the girls were more readily available and im guessing it just stuck

Answer 5

I think females are more compassionate and nurturing by nature so they are more likely to work in healthcare. Not to say men can't be good nurses but I think our nature explains why more females become nurses.
