Amid a national shortage of nurses, more men are starting to join a field that is traditionally seen as one that is dominated by women.
For 2023, National Nurses Week is taking place during a time of high demand for nurses.
For Hector Medina, his life changed nine years ago after he helped deliver his daughter in his living room. Medina joined the Navy shortly after, and stayed in the service for six years. His passion for nursing, however, was still burning. He later went back to school, and currently, he is completing the eighth of his nine semesters.
Medina said he wants to become a labor delivery nurse. He said despite the stigma, he will be successful."The more diverse a workforce is, the better," said Megan Graeff, Assistant Dean of Nursing and Student Affairs for the Arizona College of Nursing. "Males are about 12% right now of nursing nationwide, and we're in a nursing shortage. We need more nurses, so were going to need more male nurses as well.
