Don't call it women's work

Men are entering the nursing profession in greater numbers and gaining acceptance among patients. Liu Zhihua reports.

Ten years ago, if someone would have told Liu Bao that he would become a male nurse, he would have felt insulted.

But today, the 30-year-old from Baoding, Hebei province, has a different attitude and is proud of his chosen career. "I had never heard of male nurses before college," says Liu, who is now a nurse at China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing.
