The Quebec Order of Nurses is encouraging people to not dress in sexy nurse costumes for Halloween this year, saying they devalue the nursing profession.
In a post called “No to eroticizing the nursing profession,” the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec instead proposes dressing up as a regular nurse. They even created a video to spread the word.
“Nurses take care of us,” the video says in French. “Let’s take care of their image.”
It’s been a difficult time for the nursing profession, with the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions saying half of Canadian nurses are considering quitting.
Halloween is next Monday.
