At my 1st mammogram, I had this gorgeous, hot(I know, not a nurse) young thing walk in and tell me to get naked from the waist up, let me tell ya, if it was any other situation I would have ripped the buttons off my heaving bodice. But being he was gonna squish my meager bosom flat as a pancake and manipulate them like never before, I would have gladly traded him in for a Sasquatch any day. He quickly put me at ease with his professional demeanor and and I forgot how hot he was(almost). Give me an experienced, calm, sympathetic person over a supermodel anyday.

But offering plastic surgery instead of a living wage? No way. As the NYT article pointed out, it’s like turning nurses into prostitutes.

Oh no. That is the worst and most disrespectful stereotype. This quote from the article says it all:

“I feel better when I look in the mirror,” she added. “We were always taught that if a nurse is nice, intelligent, loves her work and looks attractive, then patients will recover faster.”

Would you like a feminist diatribe or should I just go grab a cup of coffee and start my day?

I think if nurses looked too good that would make patients uncomfortable. I remember being a new nurse and having a young patient my age with a wonderful abdomen. I felt stupid every time I walked into his room. It was hard to speak to him when he was naked. I felt so bad because the poor guy was being diagnosed for some terrible Cancer! So I imagine it could work in reverse.

However, if they start offering plastic surgery at my hospital I think many of my coworkers would jump at a tummy tuck, breast redux, implants or face lift. We are a rather vain group at our hospital however, not at work. After having a few kids sometimes the body just never pops back as it should.
