The first result when I googled "gender gap in nursing"[1] talks about how men in nursing earn more money and tend to move up the career ladder faster than women. If women in tech were consistently paid more and promoted faster than their male counterparts, I don't think we would see the same hand-wringing about diversity in our field either.

Do you often talk to nurses or folk in the nursing field? It's actually a significant issue with several scholarships and organizations pushing for more diversity in nursing and making up for the gender gap.

That's because you haven't looked.

Here's a post I made four years ago that mentions programmes to increase men in nursing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6210618#6210989

There are hundreds of these posts on HN.

I think it will fix itself frankly, the job is way too good not to. Easy 6 figures with a 2 year degree, huge ability to rise into management, lots of different areas to work if you dislike the standard floor nursing. Men can't stay blind to that forever.

Perhaps because that is a different discussion for another forum and this forum is a better fit for discussing Rob's article.
