As a man working in the nursing profession you may face some unique challenges.
By taking on a non-traditional role, you may face gender-based bias. While many more men are entering nursing today, the prevailing view is that nursing is still a 'female occupation'.
The Men in Nursing group works to break down outdated stereotypes. It encourages more men to enter the profession and to become more active in our union. It meets twice a year, with one representative coming from each BCNU region. For more information on the roles and responsibilities of a caucus regional representative, please

Regional Caucus Funding Request Form.
Movember
BCNU's Men in Nursing group annually supports Movember, a fall
event that raises funds and awareness for men’s mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Congratulations to the 2021 team for raising $1,595.
