“possibly”, just like how cleaning and care jobs are treated like they are, primarily female jobs
Seems a bit ridiculous, everyone treats the NHS like a national institution and they know nurses are the backbone
I don’t disagree. Probably why medicine is also getting shafted these days, huge swing toward my female junior grades.
The salary is what it is because they can attract enough people to work for that amount. It has nothing to do with taking people seriously.
Yet Nurses are consistently rated as the #1 trusted profession in the UK, and have done so for decades

This is raging sexism. We need equality. Why aren’t we encouraging more men into the role? We need equal representation….
Oh…
it’s def a factor at the very least
we esteem work very differently on the basis of gender, and pay goes up and down on that basis of that esteem
look at the early computer programmers – when that was considered a job for women. they were paid peanuts.
A nonsense premise, given that nurses are highly trusted alongside doctors – both of which are majority female in their new members
What is the union doing to address the startling inequality in the sex of their members?
>Nursing profession possibly ‘not taken seriously’
Are you kidding me?
Nurses have almost god like status in the British psyche.
Lemmings were banging pots and pans for them for months on end lol.
This is what the RCN voted for a few years back – they voted against initiatives to attract men into nursing. And they badly bungled the strike ballots previously. Nurses deserve a strong, competent union, and we can hardly take the RCN seriously
The profession is taken very seriously by ALL.. except the people running the country and the nhs..
I think there are many factors that are also being overlooked.
Nurses are being overworked. And as a human, we can only put in more that 100% for so long before you get burnt out and are unable to meet the demand.
If nurses had more resources, and fewer patients, they’d be more aware of each patient, and more available in general. A nurse who is more available would be respected more.
Whereas a tired nurse who is constantly running around, but is unable to meet all the needs due to too many patients, can’t be as helpful.
Do people not take HR or Teaching seriously because it’s predominantly female?
And in breaking news, mysogyny exists and creates male flight when mediocre men aren’t held up on a pedestal… something we’ve known for centuries…
Look at the difference between how male tailors are seen, as opposed to seamstresses. Same skill set. Same job. One title is respected, one’s not. Evidence: Look up the job of the mantuamaker in the 18th century, and what happened in the sewing industry at that point. (Youtubers: bernadette banner, Abbey cox, etc)
It’s happening now in the trades. Men are heavily gatekeeping, but more and more women are getting into trades. What’s happening? Salaries are going down, same as what happened in the 18th century sewing trades. (Look up lexi the electrician on YouTube, or heck, my lutherie class at university rn is 70% women)
The term is called male flight. Look it up.
As long as men are expected to be the provider, it won’t happen.
