Good point Ohio

Thank you Nydia for your comments.

Johnson & Johnson really exerted a great effort in balancing the ration between male and female nurses, as they believed that male nurses would significantly mitigated this problem. In the campaign, Johnson & Johnson noticed to put both men and women on the cover of their monthly – issued newsletters in turns. They understood to apply both men and women in their TV commercials. Since its initiation in 2002, Johnson & Johnson unwavering efforts in improving nurses’ image and welfare systems have made great headways in this issue.

According to Vanderbilt University School of Nursing recently, the number of male nurses had been doubled compared to twenty years ago. A recent Gallup Poll throughout the whole country, turned out to rank the nursing profession as the most credible profession, even won over doctors, teachers and military officers.

Andrea Higham, director of The Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing’s Future，said: “men are a key target of their campaign, for the nursing shortage would cease to exist, if the number of men entering nursing each year grew to anywhere near the number of women entering the field.”

Actually,. Generally speaking, men indeed alleviated this plight to some extent according to the statistics. Particularly, under the trend of the large-scale conscription and return of the young male soldiers, more young people would like to serve for the cause of saving lives. Another reason I think is that compared to other professions, nursing needs the least basic knowledges, which can easily developed in the further study and practice in this career.
