Jordan is one of the countries that witnessed a severe shortage in nursing and a rapid increase in the number of male nurses in the nursing workforce. Therefore, working in certain clinical settings resulted in failure to compensate for the severe shortage of nurses in other areas such as maternity and pediatrics. The scarcity of research in the area of male nurses, in general, and their perception in working in pediatric units, specifically, are the impetus of this qualitative study. The purpose of this study is to explore the opinions of male nursing students, regarding male nurses caring for children after graduation. The findings of this study were classified in to the following themes: communication issues, qualification and specialized care, social constraints, and characteristics of children's health care providers. The findings showed that gender and sociocultural issues might be the most important factors underlying all issues related to barriers to caring for children, as perceived by male nursing students. Strategies to promote and enhance the caring of children among male nursing students were emphasized and addressed at the administrative and educational levels.
