Abstract

Health care services are delivered as a team approach lead by physicians. At any given level of care, nurses are in majority in number [1] and play a pivotal role to coordinate and provide direct care to the needy community [2]. Majority of the nurses are female and consists of more than 60 % of health team. Female nurses not only play a professional role within a hospital but also a major role within the patriarchal society [3], which makes them more vulnerable. Since a decade, there is a steep increase in the number of male nurses but their recognition and their eligibility to work public sector questioned and using their muscle power than their skill motivates them to shift to non clinical or other vocations.
