Drawing on the data of a qualitative field research with a sample of 42 nurses, this study aims to put forward the masculinization strategies of male nurses in Turkey and to sociologically examine the transformative effects of these strategies on nursing occupation. From a critical phenomenological frame, the findings show that the masculinization strategies of male nurses are re-defining the occupation in a masculine discourse, concentrating at physical areas that doesn’t require emotional labor, focusing on career rather than occupation and making masculine objections to physicians’ authority. Widely supported by women participants, these strategies don’t seem to transform the nursing occupation, but construct a new masculine version of nursing in which men are more favored. Men’s entry to nursing occupation is an opportunity for providing gender equity and should not reproduce and reinforce patriarchal values in work life. Otherwise a gendered division of labor in nursing occupation would cause men to concentrate on advantaged areas and occupations, to widely exclude women from these area and positions and deepen work related gender inequalities.
