Florence Nightingale is credited with reforming the profession of nursing, and her teachings allowed nursing to be perceived as an almost exclusively female career. However, the long history of men's role in nursing before Nightingale is frequently ignored. Males currently account for one in ten UK nurses, with that figure even less in community nursing, and the ones present receive differential treatment when it comes to hiring and promotion, career opportunities, and stigma associated with gender perceptions. This article attempts to gain a better understanding of the problems that face workforce planning with regards to the lack of men in community nursing.
弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔被认为是护理专业改革的先驱，她的教导使护理工作几乎被视为女性的专属职业。然而，南丁格尔之前男性在护理行业中所扮演的长期角色经常被忽视。男性目前占英国护士的十分之一，在社区护理中这个比例甚至更小，而且当涉及到招聘和晋升、职业机会以及与性别观念相关的耻辱感时，这些男性会受到不同的待遇。本文试图更好地理解社区护理中男性短缺给劳动力规划带来的问题。
