The term “看護婦” means nurse and is used only for female nurses, it is a feminine word, but later they came up with the term “看護師”, which is considered a gender neutral term to refer to male and female nurses.
What happens is that according to the author, his classic manga Mahou no Kangofu Magical Nurse, which in the original Japanese is called 魔法の看護婦マジカルナース will be republished with the title of 魔法の看護師マジカルナース, using the genre term neutral for nurses.
どうやら……もう
「看護婦さん」と言う名称を商業エロ漫画でも
使え無くなるのか〜〜と、しみじみ………と、言う訳で
来年にデジタル単行本の再配信の時
『魔法の看護婦マジカルナース』は【魔法の看護師⁉️マジカルナース】に改題して配信
されるそうです………マジか‼️
マジですʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ

It’s a male-oriented adult manga about female nurses, so some people didn’t see the point in this decision by the publisher, which will use the gender-neutral term for the relaunch.
The author was also quite surprised by this decision, and perhaps not quite understanding the reason. Anyway, what do you think?
