Nursing is a miserable job, and any man who's interested in healthcare should become a PA or a doctor. He'll get paid better and won't have to worry about coming across as a faggot
There are a couple of exceptions.
Mental health nursing, we need large men who are basically security guards with health training, you need to be able to command respect and also tackle and hold people down till the meds kick in. Prison guards for schizophrenics basically.
Anesthetist nurse. High paying, basically just working under the anethetist themselves and administering meds. Reasonably split at around 50/50, and that's only cause so many of the earlier steps are female dominated. If the training that fed into it weren't so biased it would be 98/2. It's very well paying.
And there are others. It's a shame they are called 'nurse' really, because those are jobs that are suited to males, other than the name.
As a general rule sure, don't become a nurse lads. But there are a couple of 'nursing' roles which are male suited and male dominated. Or at least reasonably split, because they require male skills and physique, and which we do need as a society.

Is that really a good job though? Like are they paid well and respected? I know a major complaint that men who go into these kinds of fields have is that they're always assigned violent and unruly patients/clients/whatever. Fair point about anesthetist nurse, and as you said that one would benefit from a name change.

Obviously the work itself is shit, you're dealing with the kind of people no-one wants to work with all other things being equal. Yeah, that's the point. That's where the males are needed. Same as policing and the army.
Pay is hard to say because of how nurses are graded and all the different quals, it ranges from 'about average for educated' up to 'damn nice but not anesthetist nice', depending on which qual you have, where I am.
E: Oh, I and remembered a 3rd group. Military stuff, better ratios there.

Med schools are taking mostly women for Drs and PAs now.
