The fact is that nursing is a profession in which the majority are women. Accordingly, the majority of the public and the profession still consider nursing to be an exclusively female profession. The representation of both genders in nursing is very often a topic of discussion, so the aim of the study was to examine the attitudes of nurses about the role and position of men in nursing with regard to factors such as age, work experience, marital status, education level, and activity and the role that men perform within it. The survey of attitudes included a total of 529 nurses from the territory of the Republic of Croatia. For the research purposes, an online questionnaire was prepared. The questionnaire consisted of 6 general questions about the respondents (age, place of residence, marital status, level of education, work activity and total years of work experience), and 16 questions about attitudes towards men in nursing, of which 11 claims were on a Likert-type scale with five degrees - lower or higher acceptance. Although men within the nursing profession are still in the minority, the research results suggest that they are more than welcome. It would be advisable to conduct research on a similar topic in the future, but instead of nurses, patients and medical technicians themselves would express their views on men in nursing. This would provide a more complete picture of the perception of men within the nursing profession in the Republic of Croatia.
