The perception of the nursing profession has definitely changed
over the years from a profession of solely women to a fantasy to
drug addicts. Male nurses used to be ridiculed and seen as less
of a man “why aren’t you a doctor?”. Nurses are not seen as
professionals in their own rite simply due to ignorance. It’s a
vicious cycle, nursing isn’t seen as a desired field of practice so
why would someone research the education and training
requirements, but without exploring those topics, people don’t
fully grasp the intricacy of the field Errasti-Ibarrondo, B.,
Arantzamendi-Solabarrieta, M., & Canga-Armayor, A. (2012).
In sitcoms or TV shows they are portrayed as expendable and
objects of sexual interest for Doctors. I’ve seen films in which
nurses are portrayed as drug addicts or lower middle class,
certainly they aren’t seen as well off. Social media had meme’s
of nurses showing them as everything from tired people who
drink wine all the time to hardworking. These meme’s of course
portray nurses as mostly female and funnily enough do not
address the deep level of education we need to attain. I think
that historical perception has an incredible influence on present
day perception of nursing. Which I find funny in a world
moving forward, they hold on to the bad or wrong points in
history.
Since COVID there have been a lot of campaigns to encourage
the public to see healthcare workers and nurses and emts
specifically as heroes. I think that its has worked a little, but
old perception is hard to break from.
The nursing field is a highly specialized field in which the
individuals undergo intensive education and training, have a
unique skillset, address specific and unique patient needs and
have the autonomy and competency to provide care. I think that
if places like social media, TV and film were to all jump on
board to accurately portray nurses it would make a word of
difference, but accuracy doesn’t sell does it.
