Abstract
Professional socialization is a fundamental process in nursing education that shapes students' transition into the nursing profession. This paper critically examines the experiences, challenges, and outcomes of professional socialization among male and female nursing students. By delving into the nuances of gender-related factors and their impact on the socialization process, this paper provides insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers to enhance nursing education and foster an inclusive nursing workforce. The researcher argued that there seems no significant difference between male and female students on the basis of their professional socialization. Hence, it has been seen that there seems no significant impact of gender in the professional socialization. Through an analysis of relevant literature, this review identifies key themes, challenges, and implications associated with the professional socialization of male and female nursing students.
