Male students often report experiencing barriers during nursing education, resulting in decreased retention and success. Clinical instructors are one influence that potentially deters men in nursing. This qualitative study interviewed female clinical instructors about their experiences, attitudes, and perceptions of teaching males. The results reveal a general acceptance of males, with hesitation and ambivalence from some clinical instructors. Further training for clinical instructors, education of the public, and recruitment of more males into education are suggested to improve male student outcomes.
