Abstract
The nursing shortage in the US and all over the world continues to skyrocket. An untapped channel of recruitment that some are considering is men in the nursing profession. Currently a large disparity exists in the representation of men in nursing causing issues with quality of care, diversity, and staffing. Research suggests that nursing recruitment should occur before licensure in order to better address gender stereotypes and prejudice. Early exposure is revealed as a defining factor in enticing men into the profession. Further research reveals that issues related to nurse educator staffing must first be considered to include more men into the profession. Without nurse educators, schools are unable to increase class sizes and admit more men into programs.
