Abstract
The article discusses a research on social isolation of male tokens in a nursing school environment. Such study was limited to testing the social isolation of male tokens, indicating that future research must explore two other token dynamics, namely, role entrapment and performance pressure. Furthermore, future research must examine males in other token positions in order to discover what is common to the male token role and what is unique about the nursing school environment. Findings indicated that there was an extremely low percentage of both males and females playing the isolate role. Results also indicated that upperclassmen are more integrated than lowerclassmen.Keywords
