d. Salary compensation increasing to attract more men
aa aa aa aa aa aa

graduates.
aa




B The percentage of men in nursing has increased 50% since 2000.
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa




C The more men who enter the workplace as nurses, the less nursing will be seen as
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



a female-dominated profession.
aa aa aa




D Salary rates do not appear to relate to the recruitment of men into nursing.

aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa



more accurately reflect the population as a whole.

aa aa aa aa aa aa aa




C The average age of RNs in both 2004 and 2008 was 46. This is a result of the

numbers of RNs under 30 in the workforce.
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
