If you look at the nursing profession, it's a field primarily dominated by women.
According to the United States Census Bureau in 2011, only about 10% of registered nurses (RN) and about 9% of licensed vocational nurses (LVN) were men ( source ).
Those numbers have been steadily increasing since the 1970s, were they were closer to 3% and 4% respectively.
In this article and in a series of other articles, we're going to look at male nurses, and the roles they play in the nursing profession.
This article is a lot simpler than some of the other pieces we're going to write. In this article, we're going to answer the simple question, “what is a male nurse called?”
So, what is a male nurse called? A male nurse is called a nurse. A nurse is someone who has passed their boards and is licensed and trained to care for those who are hurting or sick. This has no bearing on the gender of the nurse.

If you look throughout the internet, you'll find several mixed feelings about this. “Murse” is a term/slang that has been used to call a nurse that's a guy.
You get “murse” by blending two different words together in this case, “man” and “nurse” together to get “murse.”
The act of combining two or more words together to form one word is nothing new. It's called portmanteau ( source ).
If that sounds kinda strange, let me assure you that you've probably have heard or have done something like that before.
Here are some other examples of portmanteau:
Here's another portmanteau of “murse.”
We could literally keep going, but I think you get the point.

If you look around the web, you'll see that while there's a lot of nurses who really don't care about the term “murse” being used to call a guy that's a nurse.
At the same time, you'll also see that there are just as much if not more guys who really don't like being called a “murse.”
One of the big reasons why so many guy nurses dislike the term murse is because many of them find it as a derogatory term. Because to many guys, the term nurse transcends gender.
To those guys, a nurse is a person (regardless of being male or female), who is trained to care for those who are sick and hurting.
I don't know about you, but this is how I introduce myself to a patient.
“Morning Mr. Doe My name is Thomas, and I'm going to be the nurse taking care of you today.”
Hopefully, you found this article informative.
Let us know what your comments and thoughts are in the comment section below. For example: Are you a nurse that's a guy? If so, are you ok being called a murse?

When about 500,000 registered nurses retire in the coming decade, they won’t just leave a void in much-needed clinical care positions. Their departures will deplete the pool of nurse managers – the experienced professionals who bridge the gap between bedside care and administrative roles.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the need for some 1.1 million new registered nurses to meet the new demand and replace retirees, many in management positions. Nurses who plan to transition from management roles require skills that combine clinical expertise and leadership. Nurse managers are responsible for supervising nursing staff in a hospital or clinical setting. They oversee patient care, make management and budgetary decisions, set work schedules, coordinate meetings, and make decisions about personnel.
“The nurse manager is responsible for creating safe, healthy environments that support the work of the health care team and contribute to patient engagement. The role is influential in creating a professional environment and fostering a culture where interdisciplinary team members are able to contribute to optimal patient outcomes and grow professionally,” the American Organization of Nurse Executives said.
Duquesne University’s online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree program provides registered nurses with the skills to advance in their careers and an opportunity to play a role in furthering healthcare for future generations. The MSN program builds on baccalaureate-level practices to prepare graduates for advanced practice and management positions. Duquesne’s three areas of MSN specialization — Family (Individual Across the Lifespan) Nurse Practitioner, Forensic Nursing and Nursing Education and Faculty Role – allow registered nurses to choose their path.
Nurses who serve in management positions are expected to not only make vital decisions to assist in patient care but are also expected to carry out defined duties that include the following:
Nurse managers need strong communication and leadership skills. They should be adept at coordinating resources and personnel and meeting goals and objectives. They must be effective leaders who can strike a balance between working with the nursing staff and the healthcare facility administrators.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said nurse managers are change agents. They work with staff to find and implement useful changes to improve patient wellness and safety outcomes. Nurse managers also implement regulatory guidelines for patient safety set by state and federal agencies, such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Joint Commission, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. They have to make sure the staff is educated on care standards and can implement them as needed.
Nurse managers work in a number of clinical settings including hospitals, doctor’s offices, schools, and psychiatric institutions.
“Nurse managers lead their unit staff in preventing patient harm in their unit, empowering nurses to be the first line of defense against patient harm,” the agency reported.
Working as a nurse manager requires skills beyond clinical care. The job requires management skills, budgeting, and business acumen and leadership qualities. Communications and interpersonal skills are also vital. The following characteristics are common among successful nurse managers:
Effective Communication Skills – Part of being an effective leader is listening to staff and patient concerns and communicating needs. Nurse managers must be able to build a solid rapport with all staff members, from the janitorial staff to head administrators, as well as patients to create cohesiveness.
As the current nursing workforce ages and retires, the anticipated shortage of nurses will create opportunities for newly minted nurse managers. Researchers have found that nurse managers are vital to overall nurse retention because they influence the quality of work and the stability of a work environment.
“Strong leadership qualities in the nursing unit manager have been associated with greater job satisfaction, reduced turnover intention among nursing staff, and improved patient outcomes. Nurse leaders need to be supported in an effort to retain nurses given ongoing workforce issues and to ensure high-quality patient care,” researchers said in the 2014 “Leadership skills for nursing unit managers to decrease intention to leave” study.
Researchers found there must be cohesive relationships among staff members and better communications with staff for nurse managers to do a better job in the future. Continual changes in healthcare and a focus on costs are among the many things that make the role of nurse manager challenges.
Nursing professionals at Florida Atlantic University encouraged leaders to “challenge their thinking and practices to recognize that the crux of leadership is in the power of relationships.”
“Growing future nurse leaders is a long-term quest that requires both planning and action,” authors of the “Growing Nurse Leaders: Their Perspectives on Nursing Leadership and Today’s Practice Environment” study found. “Our emerging leaders will ultimately replace our current leaders and continue the very important work being done to improve nursing practice environments, and most importantly, patient outcomes. Yet succession planning is challenging today in a healthcare environment that is fast-paced and constantly changing.”
Students working toward an online MSN degree at Duquesne University are trained for the role of the nursing leaders. The program provides a broad-based nursing education that allows students to assume managerial roles and effectuate future changes in the profession. The online MSN program allows students to take nursing classes remotely and learn from leaders in the field while continuing their careers as registered nurses.
The Duquesne University School of Nursing is top-ranked in U.S. News and World Report’s 2017 Best Online Graduate Nursing Programs. The MSN program offers three areas of specialization: Forensic Nursing, Family (Individual Across the Lifespan) Nurse Practitioner, and Nursing Education and Faculty Role.

Each branch of service has a career track for non-licensed
medical personnel called corpsman or medics, and the specialty training and
roles can be as diverse as nursing specialties. Although the term corpsman and
medic are used interchangeably across the branches, the specific training
specialties make each role unique.
A medic can be trained to fight side-by-side with combat units or can receive focused training as a surgical technician or physical therapy assistant. For combat medics assigned to the special-forces areas such as Delta teams, they must receive training in a wide variety of medical scenarios such as dive medicine, dental, orthopedics, trauma, and critical care medicine. Courses like the Special Operations Combat Medic ( SOCM ) are challenging and last 6 months. Once complete, medics assigned to special forces units must also attend a 5-month medical course to diagnose illness and injuries. These warrior-medics are also required to complete many of the training programs that are required of the special-forces members such as the Rangers.
Navy Hospital Corpsman are seaman that have specialized medic training such as diving, aviation, and clinical operations. Navy corpsman serve on ships, in naval hospitals, in outpatient clinics, and attach to Marine Corps units to provide medical care. Navy corpsman who are attached to special forces such as a SEAL team is also required to be skilled in combat and other specialized skills in order to remain part of the unit. Corpsman can continue their training and education to become Independent Duty Corpsman, similar to a physician assistant, where they can diagnose, treat, perform procedures, and write prescriptions for those in need.
The Air Force utilizes Air Force Combat Medics, also referred to as Pararescue, to attach to special forces units. These medics, in addition to the SOCM training, attend 20 weeks of a Pararescue Recovery Specialist Course to learn methods on how to rescue personnel in any environment and situation. As with the other medics and corpsman, when attached to a special forces team, the medic must also be skilled in combat. As one can see, military medics and corpsman are enlisted personnel that are specifically trained in combat or clinical medicine and requires no prerequisite training or education. Conversely, a military nurse is a registered nurse who has completed, at a minimum, a BSN and has passed the NCLEX-RN exam , as governed by the Board of Nursing requirements. During nursing school, students are educated in a myriad of medical skills and knowledge in order to provide care in a variety of settings. Once school is complete and the nurse is licensed by the state in which they reside, many nurses specialize in clinical areas such as pediatrics, labor and delivery, emergency services, etc. Another significant difference in the military environment is that nurses are ranked as officers whereas the corpsman and medics are enlisted military personnel. It is common for nurses and corpsman/medics to work on the same team to deliver care in numerous settings in the military.
Promote excellence in nursing by enabling future and current nurses with the education and employment resources they need to succeed.
