how? i dont think it caters to anyone particularly. in my experience its a quite physical job where, education being equal, caters toward motor skills, endurance, and strength. i think historically women were in nursing because they didnt fight in war, then the next generation saw nursing as a viable career for women repeat repeat repeat

It is quite a physical job, and nowadays very exhausting. Besides the play on the name itself, "nursing" (which only women can do, naturally), the general aspects of taking care of a person the way nurses are required to, caters more to the natural motherly nature of women.

There's always leeway to what I'm saying though. I'm generalizing.

the most interesting point is yours about the name of the profession. wonder if we see that change in the near future
