Attila the Hun versus Attila the hen: gender socialization of the American nurse.
Gender socialization of American nurses mirrors the socialization of women in our society.

Determining how we can bridge the gap of our gender socialization and develop effective behaviors irrespective of our sex role could enhance our effectiveness as health care providers.
