When I read the poll title, I wondered why the author didn't correct the typo! If we adopt murse, than there also should be a furse. Utterly crazy!

Why not use, Nurse Dan, Nurse Audrey, Nurse George? That would make more sense. Just as we call our Doctors by their last names, call us by our first name. After all, when women first broke into the medical profession, did they suddenly become Doctoress? or Foctor? How about Woctor? :chuckle

Excellent point. I'm all for you starting it Dan. After all, what's fair for one should be fair for all, right? The reason I didn't post a photo of a male nurse was because I was unable to find one.

I was going to suggest you to just draw a beard or something over one of the cartoon nurses you have. Guess PennyLane found some for you. Hmmm... how dow I know they are nurses in the pictures? Could they be doctors or physician assistant? :):):):)
