The profession named nursing is the same term used to feed babies from a breast—the most female activity there is. Treatment of the sick was once the province of women as there was very little a physician could do that was helpful, as was usually painful or made things worse. When Florence Nightingale studied the effectiveness of hygiene on reducing mortality she developed schools to teach her findings. She came from a society that was gender-biased in education, and her first schools were only for women. Medicine was also making rapid improvements in anesthesia, sterility in procedures, and synthetic drug discoveries but it too was primarily taught only to men (there were nursing schools for men, and medical schools for women in the 19th and early 20th C). Despite the separation there was a symbiosis in disease treatment in that physicians and nurses had to work together to help people. As long as the genders stayed in their domain there was less tension in society and within the professions. These historical remnants echo today as we still see many jobs as primarily the work of men or women. Some professions have broken these perceptions but nursing has been slow to change. In the end, the name Nursing is just too feminine to overcome for many men to consider this great profession.
