I have to disagree with Ivana. You can say zdravotni bratr but it's not as widely used given to the high number or female nurses in comparison to male.

Hi! Do you mean words used only for male/female as in jobs?
Yes, you can say zdravotní bratr, it means male nurse and you can't use it for a female nurse.
This is probably one of rare cases where the word for male/female worker is completely different, because it uses the words brother/sister (bratr/sestra). Usually, we only add a different ending to the male version or the words have the same root at least.
Examples of some male/female words for jobs:
Kuchař/kuchařka - a Cook
Číšník/číšnice - a waiter/waitress
Soudce/soudkyně - a judge
Lékař/lékařka - a doctor
Herec/herečka - an actor/actress
Překladatel/překladatelka - a translator
Spisovatel/spisovatelka - a writer
Policista/policistka - a cop
Učitel/učitelka - a teacher
Prodavač/prodavačka - a shop assistant
This usually applies to other gendered words, not just jobs, for example:
Útočník/útočnice - an attacker
Student/studentka - a student
Zloděj/zlodějka - a Thief
Hope it helped a bit. If this isn't what you were asking for or you want more examples, you can send me a message and I will gladly help you :)
