Explanation
The word combines บุรุษ, meaning “man,” with พยาบาล, meaning “nurse” or “to nurse.” It names the occupation while explicitly indicating that the person is male. Use the classifier คน when counting: บุรุษพยาบาลสองคน means “two male nurses.” When gender is irrelevant, พยาบาล on its own is sufficient.
Usage
Use it when describing someone's occupation or referring to a male nurse caring for patients in a hospital or clinic. It is mainly an occupational label rather than a form of direct address.
Caution
This is not a general term for men working in healthcare. It does not refer to male doctors or hospital employees in other roles.
