Number of Men Nurses Increases

Report:  More Men Entering Nursing Profession.  USA TODAY.  February 25, 2013.

While the proportion of male registered nurses rose from 2.7% in 1970 to 9.6% in 2011, men, on average earned more, $60.700 a year for men and $51,100 for women.  Though the article did not draw this conclusion, this disparity could result in part from the fact that men represent 41% of nurse anesthetists, a relatively high-paying speciality.
