Nursing Jobs
Want to be trusted? Get a nursing job. A 2004 Gallup Poll revealed that nurses were voted number one for "honesty and ethical standards of various professions." But even though the public at large trusts them, the nursing profession is still in many ways not understood.
The media stereotype of nursing - eyes down, wearing a cap, subservient to doctors, doing little more than following orders and taking care of bedpans - is just that, a stereotype.
