Ok, so that just sounds revolting. The whole nurse-kitten issue aside, nowhere in my mind does 'hospital theme' relate to anything relaxing, inviting, something to be the hub around which food is centered. Even as a layperson years before I was an RN that would've just been gross. Somebody is desperate.
It's in taipei. They don't care about the center for nursing advocacy, trust me. I mean, last year I read an article about a restaurant near beijing (I think) that only serves cooked genitals. Different animals, but only genitals. That's it.
The bottom of the article describes a "jail" themed restaurant, and someone did try a holocaust theme, thank goodness that one flopped.
So while I see the point, about how our profession is regarded, I see this more as a byproduct of that particular part of the world that seems to be inventing really odd restaurants. Eating out of toilet bowls?!
Edit: I reread the article. The holocaust restaurant only removed some offending items. It may not have flopped after all. That's so wrong that I can't even figure out how to describe how wrong it is.

TAIPEI (Reuters) - A Taipei restaurant-bar is letting visitors order "medicine" from a menu and dripping it into their glasses from a transparent ceiling-suspended vat, becoming the latest oddball themed restaurant in Taiwan's capital.
