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______________

I'm not attractive enough to participate in this survey.

I don't believe this for one second. What about your well-oiled hair? And shell bra?

I think I'm sexy and smart! And yes I've got many dates from being a nurse. My personal favorite part of being a nurse is when I get to be the dirty nurse ;)

(the non sterile one if anyone didn't catch my joke lol)

Such a troll posting haha and if not what a stupid assignment.

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.

1. Do you think your attractive? Yes, I am a stud

2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference? N/A Already in a relationship prior to nursing

3. Do you think you are smart? Yes

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

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

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

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

8. Fill in the blank I saw a group of Nursing Students at the beach and they were so_____________Average (are they wearing nursing school uniform?)

That is kind of the point of my paper is the perception people think of when you mention a person's career.

Why are you being mean? Maybe you should reword the title of your post then.

Ok I don't need any more responses, feel free to continue posting but I got enough information for my paper, and I won't be reading them anymore. I just want to clear up a few things. One is that I never said I was a psychology student, I said it was a psychology class. If you must know my major is Computer Science, Psychology was an elective. As for my grammar, it was 3 am sorry I wasn't at my a game, and also the (one's) post I made that was supposed to have been ones, so sorry that I made a mistake that I guess anyone past 7th grade should have known, again it was 3am. Thank you for your responses I actually got more out of your smart alec answers than you realized. I can't wait to write this report last one of this class, and that's it.

Oh I forgot to mention I go to the University of Nebraska

Just pointing out that your All Nurses profile indicates that you *are* a psychology student.

Also, I wrote many papers at night throughout my college years and I still managed to use proper spelling and grammar. But I'm not all that attractive which is apparently more important in the nursing profession. I willbe sure to stay away from the beach. :rolleyes:

Ok Nurse Leigh . . . I never checked the OP's profile and my impression was that the poster was a male. :wideyed: Thanks for cleaning that up!

Lol - I didn't even notice that. Yeah, I got a definite "male vibe" from the OP, too.

I will say I frequently see the security guards at the ER try to "score a nurse." They are more into the pay checks though than anything. One guard kept flirting with every nurse until one finally went out with him. Nurses are very well paid in my region and I think that ups the "attractiveness" points. There aren't too many jobs you can make 130k a year part time...

What region is this, pray tell?

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? Yes. And physically fit - due to the demands of nursing

2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference? Married before I started nursing but I know many people that go into nursing with dreams of marrying MDs

3. Do you think you are smart? Think, no - I know I am smart and intelligent.

4. Name a career or careers you consider to be smarter or harder than yours? Rocket scientist ? Idk I think every career can have its intellectual benefits that don't match my own strengths

5. Name a career or careers you consider less intelligent and easier than yours? See above. It takes all types. My first job was in haz may removal - glamorous, absolutely not. Did I need to use my chemistry background and my knowledge of explosives, yep.

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_studying_____________

Completed above.
