According to Julia Hallam in her book 'Nursing the Image: Media, Culture, and Professional Identity' (2000), there are four public images of nurses in the media:
The Angel:
The sex object:
The Doctors' Handmaiden
The Battleaxe
Which leads me to the question:
What type of nurse do I want to be?
None of those thanks.
Surely the media isn't still that old-fashioned? Is it?
