摘要：
This study explored male students' educational experiences in an associate degree nursing program. A review of the literature identified a gap in the understanding of the experiences of male students in nursing school. Because nursing is a profession strongly influenced by societal stereotypes, gender bias, and the preponderance of female role models, this qualitative study examined the perceptions of men seeking careers in nursing. Interviews with male students probed topics such as the reasons men chose nursing as a career, their positive and negative experiences, and their satisfaction with their nursing education. This research enhanced understanding and promoted nursing knowledge of the unique needs of men in nursing education.
