Anyone else have a problem with this ad?

I saw this picture along with the ad on Facebook. It is an ad for The College Network's RN to MSN program. "Go from an RN to MSN without sitting in a classroom! 100% online program". Really is that suppose to be a serious picture of a nurse because it looks to me like a "slutty nurse" Halloween costume, not an actual nurse.

I emailed the Webmaster for The College Network and stated that we as nurses have enough negative stereotypes to battle and this type of advertising doesn't help. I mean I know I go to work everyday in a cheesy nursing "cap" and satin uniform...yep everyday. Geez! So I guess the question is does anyone else have a problem with this ad.

    Yeah, I thought halloween costume myself. It just goes to show you what kind of school it is, which means avoid THAT school at all cost!! I don't have to wear those 'cheesy' hats and i haven't seen those in a long time! You still have to wear them?

    It's not a flattering picture. And the picture being associated with TCN makes it worse.

    The College Network is not a school per say, rather they are a third party referral company that advertises online.

    I do believe she might be. The come-hither stare isn't helping matters. Good Lord. Real nurses look so much different than this that I can't do much but laugh.

    "Time for your bed bath..."

    Get out of here with that picture TCN. What a monstrous joke.

    She is kinda cute....but not my type at all!

    why would anyone choose to attend a school that advertised like that anyway?

    LOL....I am thinking this ad will actually do the program more harm than good. By looking at the ad it doesn't make me want to sign up. I just think desperate. As for the outfit, I am LOL literally as I am a nurse & I do have the Halloween costume version too.
