I just had to vent about this recent video that I saw on Comcast "The Fan". It is a video about a new requirement that one Spain hospital is requiring of their nurses. The newscast states that these nurses must wear mini-skirts in order to receive a bonus each month. But, if that were not bad enough in itself, the way the Fox News crew that talk about the newscast is even more disturbing. I pray that one day these sickening comments and stereotypes will go away. If any of you have a way to spread the word that this is not the way that nurses need to be portrayed, please pass this along and share this story/video or post here how others can help and let's help stop the sexist views of our profession.
what is the problem with the naughty nurse stereotype? i mean, no one believes that nurses really dress like that! answer...
but i'm young and hot and i love people to think nurses are sexy! promiscuous girls rule! anyone who objects to the "naughty nurse" image must be an old hag "nursing leader" who hates sex and freedom, right? answer...
alert us to a good or bad portrayal of nursing in the media:
That was AWFUL! I couldn't believe it and then the news people, including the ladies, going along with it- ridiculous! I do want to make an additional comment on the bad image of nursing. NURSES, PLEASE STOP BUYING THOSE RIDICULOUS BETTY BOOP NURSING BAGS- it only perpetuates the sterotype! Last year the Nursing Image Leader (or something like that) of our SNA had one. That troubled me.

Well, this is what one gets for listening to Faux News, and why I never consider doing so ...
