During the Halloween season it is quite popular nurse costume Different people outside the health industry use it at parties as a form of entertainment. The problem is that there are many who are quite far from reality and now find themselves in the middle of a controversy.
The last day of October commemorates the celebration All Hallows’ Evewhich is the eve of the Christian festivals of All Saints that occurs on November 1 and All Souls on November 2.
Nurse costume, an insult because it sexualizes the profession?
If you go to parties frequently, you have probably noticed that the nurse costume It is one of the most popular. Although in recent years complaints have arisen from health workers for a specific reason. They claim that the clothes used are too explicit and sexualize their work.
Among those who have raised their voices is the General Nursing Council of Spain. This 2023 he presented a document in which he requests that the use of this costume be avoided and especially when garments that are in no way allowed inside hospitals are used.
“Every year around this time we witness with perplexity and indignation the wave of ‘sexy nurse’, ‘murderer’ or ‘zombie’ costumes that offend the public image of a profession whose dedication not only requires levels of academic qualification, but which is recognized as a bastion of the quality of health care,” said the president of the General Nursing Council, Florentino Pérez Raya.
How are the costumes that distort the reality of hospitals?
With this in mind, complaints towards the nurse costume They start from the tight clothes, short robes, heels, stockings and makeup used at parties. On the other hand, the reality of those that do treat patients is quite different.
This request is not new but has been submitted over the past few years. It was generated from the birth of the #MeToo movement that emerged in 2017. Originally, it spoke out against the sexual harassment suffered by women in different unions.
Deficit of nurses in the world
In another vein, another problem that this union suffers is that many people are needed to care for all the patients. According to the International Council of Nurses (ICN) there are 27.9 million nurses registered throughout the world. The drawback is that in reality 38.5 million are required to properly serve the entire population.
From the above it is obtained that there is a deficit of 10.6 million nurses at a global level. As a consequence, those who belong to this union must perform double duties or extend their working hours to care for patients.
