Men in nursing
posted October 8th, 2008
Women continue to outnumber men in the Duke University School of Nursing, but men are closing the gap.
In fact, DUSON is seeking to launch a chapter of the American Assembly for Men in Nursing. An application has been submitted to AAMN. Here’s a look at the latest numbers from DUSON:
Men make up:
- 16% of all faculty
- 18% of all staff
- 18% of the cohort most recently admitted to the accelerated bachelor of science in nursing (ABSN) program (Up from 6% in the previous group.)
- 23% of the spring 2008 master of science in nursing (MSN) cohort (Versus 12% in spring 2007.)
- 27% of nursing school Ph.D. students
- 38% of core ABSN faculty, including the assistant dean for undergraduate education
