Best Answer

There are simply both male and female nurses because the more people in nursing, the more people there are to help patients. Its a free country, and people can be what they want to be most of the time.

Are there more male nurses them female nurses?

The answer to this question totally depends on the patient. Some male patients feel strongly about having a male do their intimate care while other men feel just as strongly about having a female nurse do their intimate care. In my experience, it doesn't seem to make a difference to a majority of patients or at least they don't bring up the subject. I will say that there does seem to be a slightly growing percentage of male patients that will comment to me that they are glad they have a male nurse and it usually seems to be due to the anxiety that the male patient would feel if they got an erection during a procedure with a female nurse or because they have a modesty issue. If anything, I have come to learn that everyone has baggage / hangups to one extent or another and treating everyone with dignity and respect seems to transcend gender lines and make gender less of an issue.
