Are nurses generally more attractive

Published

I'm doing an essay on careers and the way it's perceived by people in terms of attractiveness and intelligence of the profession. So I have a few questions that I hope I get some responses on.

1. Do you think your attractive?

2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference?

3. Do you think you are smart?

4. Name a career or careers you consider to be smarter or harder than yours?

5. Name a career or careers you consider less intelligent and easier than yours?

6.Name a career or careers(3 at the most please)you consider sexy other than your own?

7. Name a career or careers(3) you consider unsexy other than your own?

8. Fill in the blank I saw a group of Nursing Students at the beach and they were so______________

What does being attractive have to do with nursing? This is ludicrous.

I forgot to add you don't have to answer every question, just the one's you chose?

If you had read what I actually wrote you would have noticed how I'm doing research on why certain careers are considered more attractive than others. I didn't say anything about having to be good looking to be a nurse? I can tell you really pay attention to things, makes me want to ask what hospital you work in, so I know not to go there

I'm doing a bunch of careers not just nursing, if anyone else wants to know. It's for my psychology class, it's about how society will hear what a person does for a living and pre judge them before they even met them. If you think they don't you are sadly mistaken. I guarantee you a male will automatically assume a nurse is more hot than lets say a music major. I didn't say I agreed with it. I'm doing research so back off.

I personally don't think attractiveness and career choices correlate. Sexy careers? Unsexy careers? Your first two questions alone translate in my head to: rate myself on my personal hotness rating on a scale of 1 to 10 and then perhaps answer on the success of scoring tinder dates by advertising my career choice. This warrants an inability to take this survey seriously.

Your response to the previous person indicates that her and I interpreted your questions similarly. You are trolling sir or madam.

If this is legitimate you ought to change the questions, I guarantee very few here will answer those questions.

The problem with your survey is perception vs reality. If you ask 100 male college students if nurses are sexy, you would get images of the "sexy nurse" Halloween outfit image Amazon.com: Fashoutlet Women's Sexy Nurse Uniforme Cosplay Costume Set: Clothing. (It would make my job more interesting if all my co-workers wore this outfit). If you ask 100 male nurses the same question, you would get an answer based on reality since we work with both attractive and unattractive nurses.

As a Psychology student I would have thought that you realize that you generally catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. You're new to this forum and come here expecting people to help you with your assignment. Probably not the best of times to display "attitude".

I have to say that as someone who holds dual Master's degrees I find the quality of your "questionnaire" a bit lacking. I agree with previous posters.

1. Do you think your attractive?

:inlove:

2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference?

When I was a law enforcement officer I was hit on by weird men who fantasized about being handcuffed to a bedpost and as a nurse I've been wooed by weirdos with enema fetishes. I'm sure you can understand why I'm reluctant to disclose my profession to strangers :yuck:

7. Name a career or careers(3) you consider unsexy other than your own?

Executioners.

Wait a second... What do you mean other than your own? :wideyed:

Exhausted?

Yup. I got a hell of a lot of dates. I don't think it's because of my career but more of the fact that I make decent money and am independent.
