A male colleague of mine suggested, not entirely tongue-in-cheek, that a name not synonymous with breastfeeding would enhance the percentage of men attracted to our profession.

I have got to pass that on to my wife, who teaches nursing.
aside: how different the above sentence would be without the comma!

About 20 years ago, the elderly Father who was then President of DePaul University commented to her that Nursing must be somehow less than the school's other academic fields, in that the others do not end in -ing: there is no "sciencing"; "englishing", etc. He was brought up short when someone pointed out "engineering".
he would not have understood had someone mentioned "frenching"
