I don't believe there is a heavy bias in favor of female doctors, I believe it is a field still majority male, although becoming almost equal. Nurses were traditionally the only actual healthcare profession open to women so it makes sense they would be overrepresented there.

Male nurses now actually can find they have an advantage in hiring because they often have an easier time with the lifting and physical labor being a nurse often requires.

My point is the comparison between nursing and programming is not strong.
