in nursing education or nursing practice.
3.
Support
for members
academically, socially and professionally.

School and campus
wide
educational opportunities
focused on men’s health.

Getting more men into nursing is a common goal among nursing schools.
The American Assembly for Men in Nursing has given the University of
Pennsylvania School of Nursing the 2006 Best School Award for its
continued efforts in recruiting and retaining men in nursing. MAN-UP
