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

most new graduates.
gg gg gg
B The percentage of men in nursing has increased 50% since 2000.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
C The more men who enter the workplace as nurses, the less nursing will be
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
seen as a female-dominated profession.
gg gg gg gg gg
D Salary rates do not appear to relate to the recruitment of men into nursing.

nursing compared to their percentage of the general population.

not approximate their percentage of the overall population.

B The number of men entering nursing is increasing.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
C The average age of RNs in both 2004 and 2008 was 46. This is a
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
result of the numbers of RNs under 30 in the workforce.
