However, the voices of minority men, including Filipino Americans, on these topics are not well represented in the literature. Conclusions: Female, family role models and other family support provided motivation for their nursing career choice. Their Filipino and Filipino American cultural values of obligation to family, respect for elders, and caring as a gender-neutral concept provided the participants with resilience when faced with common challenges faced by men who choose a nursing career.
