When it comes to the reputation of nurses there probably is some kind of hangover from way back when. Prior to the 1850's, and Ms Nightingale, nursing was a job to be ashamed of, one step above a streetwalker. That's why Florence Nightingale caused such a stir, "Why would a lady want to become a nurse." By the 1880's, and largely because of her, nursing had become a respectable career. Then again, it could just be the short skirts they wear.

This is an interesting topic to make me delurk.
