Have you ever came across those old censored/Mediaographic videos and posters with main characters dressed or identified as nurses?
During the 70's, media greatly influenced the society to view the image of nurses as less respectable and undesirable work force.
Good thing it is now a thing in the past. People now have high regards to nurses, thanks to the constantly evolving nursing education.
Wait, do people really look up at nurses?
When I think of what they say that history repeats itself, I wonder how could it be to the nursing profession. Is there really a u-turn in this very far-advanced and far developed science? Is media still as powerful as it was before to kick dirt and stain the nobility and dignity of our profession? Or the responsibility is actually just in the midst of us who sometimes forget about the ideals of nursing and its values that are expected of us to emulate?
Please don't focus so much on the negative. Yes, depending on where you come from and work nurses are revered. Yes, people really do luck up to you. I mean you always have the idiots out there with those stupid thoughts of the "sexy nurse," but in reality we very much respected for our skills, knowledge and compassion. Where I come from nurses are a HUGE deal!!!!
