Men in Nursing
Reclaiming Strength, Identity, and Leadership
The Untold Challenges Men Face in Nursing
If you’re a male nurse at the bedside, a student stepping into the profession, or a leader shaping culture—you already know the obstacles are real.
Only 12% of nurses in the U.S. are men. Yet most mentorship models don’t reflect the unique challenges you face. Studies show male nurses experience higher rates of isolation and mental health struggles. And across the board, men are four times more likely to die by suicide than women (CDC).
For many men in nursing, the story feels the same:
Students lack role models who understand their journey.
Bedside nurses carry the heaviest physical loads while hiding their stress.
Too often, the result is suppressed emotions, fractured identity, and burnout.
But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to stay this way.
Building Leaders, Strengthening Teams
Change begins when we stop asking men to prove themselves—and start equipping them to lead themselves.
That’s why I provide specialized training for:
Male nurses and students who want tools for emotional mastery, resilience, and authentic leadership.
Healthcare teams and nursing schools who want to build mentorship models that work for everyone.
Female leaders and educators who want to better understand the unique challenges men face and foster collaboration instead of conflict.
This dual approach bridges the gap. It creates environments where men and women thrive together—and where the culture of healthcare is renewed from the inside out.

Moving Forward with Purpose
The challenges men face in nursing aren’t just individual struggles. They’re cultural realities that shape entire teams, organizations, and patient care.
Surface-level solutions won’t cut it. What’s needed is a deeper framework—a way to rebuild resilience, reframe identity, and restore presence where it matters most.
That’s the work of my Restorative Masculine Theory.
When men are given the tools to rise with courage and authenticity—and when women are equipped to mentor with understanding—healthcare shifts. Teams grow stronger. Homes stabilize. A culture of care emerges that benefits everyone it touches.
