OK, but patients should be equally frequent for both genders, so I don't see why this would evoke a gender bias for nursing?

It doesn't cause the gender bias in nursing. I'm pointing out that nursing is special. They have a very specialized reason for needing some gender parity, which applies only to a few other fields (e.g., TSA pat down).
Software isn't one of those fields, so bringing up gender parity in nursing in a discussion about the software industry is a bit of a misnomer.
