The profession of nursing has attracted a number of stereotype s. Major stereotypes Angel The image of a nurse as an angel of mercy &mdash selfless, Altruism altruistic reliever of suffering&mdash is based on the origin of nursing in the religious orders. In modern times, Florence Nightingale was the epitome of the nurse as an angel. In many wartime movie romances, the hero and the heroine are a doctor and nurse who meet and fall in love while saving lives on the battlefield Lara and Dr. Zhivago from the novel and film Dr. Zhivago are one example. However, angels can fall from grace. Nurses such as Beverley Allitt or Kristen Gilbert , who have deliberately killed patients under their care, have frequently been referred to as Death personification Death angels in religion angels of death . Battleaxe The battleaxe is a Malevolence malevolent authority figure exemplified by the fictional villains Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest and Annie Wilkes in the novel and film Misery novel Misery . Handmaiden The handmaiden stereotype is that of a person with little intelligence, knowledge, judgment, or autonomy, a person who exists only to assist the physician. The idea of the purpose of nursing being service to the medical profession instead of service to the patient was promoted by physicians in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is sometimes unconsciously promoted by nurses even today&mdash in the Nightingale Pledge , for instance. Homosexual male Men in nursing are often stereotyped as Effeminacy effeminate homosexual s because of the concept in recent history of nursing as women s work . The character Jack McFarland on the television situation comedy Will & Grace was a nursing student for several episodes. It was parodied in several episodes of Scrubs TV series Scrubs by having an effeminate, but clearly heterosexual, male nurse named Paul Flaurs flowers .
