A Mumsnet user provoked some strong responses on the parenting discussion forum after saying that nurses should be renamed to something less “old fashioned”.
The anonymous user took to Mumsnet’s popular Am I Being Unreasonable? forum to spark the discussion, asking fellow users whether it was time for a big change in the nursing profession. They reasoned in their post that the term was no longer fitting considering the qualifications needed to be a nurse - a sentiment many disagreed with.
“Is calling it ‘nursing’ a bit old fashioned?” they wrote. “You now need a degree to be a nurse, and they often are pretty much doing junior doctor jobs."
