This work focuses on the historical roles and contributions men have made to nursing over the centuries as well as the challenges that men face in nursing today. It discusses how gender serves as a foundation for many of the obstacles, discrimination and barriers experienced by men in nursing; and, explains the differences in communication and caring styles between men in nursing outside the United States.
