For the second consecutive year, the same three health systems have won the Best Workplace Award for Men in Nursing.

Criteria for the award include health and wellness programs to address men's health issues, strategic plans to increase gender diversity in nursing staff and career fairs focused on men in nursing.

In 2023 and 2024, the association named Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn., University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, and the University of Alabama-Birmingham Health System as the best workplaces for men in nursing.

Vanderbilt was the sole winner of the award in 2021 and 2022.
