@JoeDeRosaCOMEDY asks Where'd the idea that @AllNurses are "Hot"--NOT the @TruthAbtNursing--come from? #Nursing
I know Joe is probably not "actually wondering" where the idea comes from, as much as he's just 'humorously observing how "the stereotype on guys' minds" rarely-if-ever matches up with "the reality of most hospitals"; but it made me curious enough to do 'a little searching':
Like a lot of stereotypes, it's hard to connect the 'hot nurse'-idea to any one pioneer. Besides "Hot Lips" Houlihan, I think the idea of 'attractive nurses' developed the same way that "bikini-clad women on new cars" did: advertising ... this time 'urging men to go to the hospital to get their health checked' rather than '-to buy cars to boost their self-esteem.'
Scrolling way down on the AllNurses-forum on the topic, you hear (from member DoGoodThenGo) that the stereotype–sometimes in the form of "sexy- or naughty-nurses"–started in-earnest in the pulp-fiction of the 1940s through the 1970s.
'That word' (below-hyperlinked to 'how Truth About Nursing started its campaign against such barbaric stereotyping') is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands (and might give another clue as to the reason-why 'hot nurses' are such a popular stereotype) ...
The word “Nurse” is built on “to |Suckle (an infant), Supply with Food & Drink, Feed, |Nurture, Bring Up (|Nourish)” (Governess, Tutoress, |Nanny, the name Norris).
Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong—that's one reason
Our Father God said "It is not good for the man to be
alone": "Because the man'll think he's right until someone else shows
Our Father God said "It is not good for the man to be
alone": "Because the man'll think he's right until someone else shows
him why he's not"—Won't you show me
