FTA: "Pitt County Memorial Hospital...boasts one of the best records nationally at hiring men as nurses.
About 10.5 percent of the hospital's registered nurses are male -- a stellar showing considering that men make up only about 5.7 percent of registered nurses nationally.
Attracting more men to nursing is seen as one way to extend the supply of registered nurses, who perform much of the hands-on patient care in hospitals."
Second, people here talk about that too. In an article that you should have read just recently: "hiring for diversity will set up better recruiting opportunities. Consider Harvard’s graduating computer science class: forty-one percent of the students are women, and an inability to hire talented females will start to significantly impact your ability to recruit altogether."
You said that nursing is only talking about increased male participation in terms of benefits for the industry, not the men - implying (perhaps unintentionally) that this is different to CS, because CS is focused on benefits for women. I pointed out CS talk on diversity also talks about benefits to the industry (/company), specifically in terms of increasing the pool of available workers.
If I misread your implication, then I'm sorry, but I don't know what your point was.
"The NHS thrives on equality and diversity. In some specialties, such as general practice, we know that almost a third of the emerging workforce are overseas-qualified. Without these immigrant workers the NHS would come to a standstill.
Despite this, many international medical graduates (IMGs) who have been the workhorses of the NHS, are over-represented in the lowest paid, least glamorous specialties in the least popular parts of the country. Some of them have faced racism, less recognition for awards and slow promotion in their working life."
