Historical research was conducted to explore and describe the forces of resistance that prevented male registered nurses from being employed and conferred officer status in the Nursing Division of the Canadian military. Prior to 1967, only female nurses were permitted to join the Nursing Division. A 25-year struggle by the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO), its Male Nurses Committee (MNC), and the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) was required to change this discriminatory policy. The struggle for equality on behalf of Canadian male nurses was successfully resolved because of the united stand taken by the MNC, the RNAO, and the CNA. The study also demonstrates the need to move beyond matriarchal history perspectives in nursing to more completely understand the evolution of the profession in Canada.
开展了历史研究，以探索和描述阻碍男性注册护士受雇于加拿大军队护理部门并授予军官身份的阻力因素。1967年之前，只有女性护士被允许加入护理部门。安大略省注册护士协会（RNAO）、其男性护士委员会（MNC）和加拿大护士协会（CNA）进行了长达25年的斗争，才改变了这一歧视性政策。由于MNC、RNAO和CNA采取了统一立场，代表加拿大男性护士争取平等的斗争得以成功解决。该研究还表明，有必要超越护理领域的母系历史视角，以更全面地理解加拿大该行业的发展历程。
