Uhm, that depends on the country. Most places Nursing is still a really stressful and badly paid job (for all gender).
I remember reading a lengthy well scientifically sourced article about it (sorry can't remember where right now), and the clearest example was journalism, which went from a well paid job mostly done by males, to a badly paid (or not paid at all) job after more and more women entered the sector.
No doubt it's a very stressful job, but my point is that a nurse generally has better job security than most jobs. In today's age, that's a massively important factor when so many employers treat employees like they're disposable. It's also not exactly a job that can be outsourced nor automated, two factors that I think men have overlooked in the past when the odds of getting a decent paying job in other "more manly" (big eye roll) sectors were more common.
