If I understand you correctly, these days we don't normally use gender-specific names for jobs. When I was a boy actor/actress, host/hostess, policeman, policewoman were acceptable but no more (and rightly so). So in answer to your question, it's just nurse. As an aside, try to make your questions clearer. Surely the gender of anything male would be male?

well i have heard that you could be a female and a male that they will hire any type. that's just what i have heard
when pregnant with my first child i was not told a gender by my midwife and nurse but a friend of mine who used to be a nurse took one look and told me i was having a girl, sure enough six months later i had a daughter. according to him you can tell the gender sometimes due to the shape of the skull
There is probably a slight gender bias towards female nurses, and when someone says "nurse," most people think of a woman rather than a man... just like when most people say "doctor," they think a man rather than a woman. Hopefully those gender expectations are going away a little bit, but they still exist in many places.
The gender telling is made in the hospital.......your nurse or doctor (when pregnant) will give you an ultra sound which shows the inside of your tummy.
All the nurses I met greeted me with their best smiles.
