Addressing the issue of Gender Pay Gap in the healthcare sector  

Nursing continues to remain a career avenue occupied predominantly by women.  This can be due to old stereotypes and the general perception that nursing is mainly a female dominated career. In this day and age, it’s still evident that it creates disparity between genders when it comes to salaries and bonuses. However, the gender ratio on a larger scale has seen 'some' growth in terms of men joining the nursing sphere.
