What's not to like about Sexy Nurses?
Check out this CNN video for a controversy regarding hot nurse stereotypes:
Hello, Nurse!
I think this is much ado about nothing, then again I'm a guy and not a nurse. It's just a gimmick no worse than Hooters. If there are people out there who really think nurses in the hospital are there to do anything else than do nursey stuff, I don't know them.
Did you see the size of those burgers tho? Wow!! Anyone else thinking roadtrip?? :)

I'm definitely with the nurses here. My sister's one and I know how hard she works.
Having learned so much of the history of how nurses have been treated makes me protective of their image now.
So, being that I am soon to be a Nurse, I figured I'd better weigh in on this topic...(and because I'm a DAMN SEXY NURSE TOO!!) Last year we had to do an "Image of Nursing" essay for one of our classes...I have to say I was not surprised at all the historical background I found. Nurses were originally seen as "Angels of Mercy" like Nun's (which alot of them were originally) they were the untouchables. Florence Nightingale, (who started the original "Nursing educational improvement" movement, and first official Nursing education school. Nightingale was not a huge suporter of the womens movement and refused to speak about womens issues, and fight for more women doctors. Long and short of it. There have always been professional stereotypes: Nurses=Sexy, Doctors= Sexy Men, Construction workers=Chauvanist Men, Computer Programmers=Geeks. Times are a changing, and I do not think my hideous scrubs make me look very sexy. If I walked into a hospital and saw some of those outfits (the sexy ones in the video)...it would be halloween, or people would be fired. All nurses do not complain about this stereotype, cause honestly, it's a joke, and the smart ones know that. I am protective of my professions image, but I really don't think being "bra-burning" brow beaters will get us anywhere. Images will change, as they do for ALL professions, and I really don't see this one as such a huge problem. Sexism is everywhere, either you learn to deal with it constructively and empower yourselves as a professional group, or you end up being a bunch of whinny complainers who get nothing done.
