　　　　　This study was conducted to give a comprehensive understanding of the placement of male nursing manpower and its correlates. Those surveyed include 258 graduates from all the above of nursing colleges in Taiwan. There are several topics covered in this article including : fields of practice and relevant factors, job satisfaction, job considerations, and reasons for turnover. According to the statistics from 3-year junior nursing colleges, about 36% of the male graduates work or study abroad in their field. About 43% work or study abroad in other fields. Among those who continue their study after graduation, 8% stay in nursing while 92% change majors. Among graduates from 4-year university, 14% remain in nursing and 71% do not. The percentage of students who change fields is less for those in a 5-year college program. Fields in which male graduates choose to work, in descending order according to numbers : psychiatric nursing, medical-surgical nursing, intensive care, operating care, and outpatient department nursing. Low job satisfaction is due to the following : limited opportunity for further study, low social status, low salary, limited channels of promotion. Stability and security are considered the most important aspects of the nursing profession. Reasons for high turnover rate include : limited promotions, low salary, living expenses not covered by salary, no sense of accomplishment, no work recognition, no opportunity for further study, preparation for further study. No evidence shows that gender and social stereotype of the nursing profession is the reason for career changes.
