Abstract
A focus group was conducted to identify strategies to overcome barriers to male-student education in a pre-licensure nursing program. Five themes emerged: Increasing male faculty presence, opportunities for male-to-male support, recognition of gender-driven incivility by students, faculty behavior and communication that demonstrate gender inclusivity, and development of a gender-balanced curriculum.
