These kinds of programs have existed for decades. You've been wondering about that not because these programs weren't there but because you weren't looking for them.

There are a lot of good reasons why we want more men in nursing. For personal reasons some patients may respond better to interactions with men. Additionally men being on average larger and stronger then women is an advantage in a society with many overweight and obese people.

I wasn't looking for grants as a woman in compsci either, but I sure heard about those

I never disputed or questioned that

I worked at a hospital delivering food and I also went to school for CS and I heard about both opportunities to draw men to nursing and women to compsci.

The reason that you didn’t hear about them was that you weren’t looking in that area.
