title: Fighting the trauma demons: what men in nursing want you to know.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Occupations develop a tradition of what is sex-role appropriate, and the ramifications for both men and women are tremendous.
  
  
  METHODS
  This qualitative research was conducted to provide a detailed understanding of the lived experiences of men in nursing through their own voice.
  
  
  RESULTS
  To increase equity in the medical professions, researchers should examine nontraditional male career choices alongside women who work in male-dominated occupations.
