Hospitals in the U.S. are struggling to fill vacant nursing positions. Nursing shortages result in longer patient stays and higher mortality rates.

Male nurses are in huge demand at every clinical level. The number of male nurses has risen since the 1970s, according to Nursing World.

Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that the number of male RNs and LPNs has risen to approximately 12% for the overall nursing workforce.

Male nurses typically earn more money than female nurses with the same experience and degrees.
