What do you suppose the general public thinks when they read headlines like,
"evil nurse" in reference to someone convicted of killing another human being?
I saw this headline this morning as a former nurse (they make no mention of whether this person was a nurse during the times of the crimes) was convicted of murdering several people, including a prostitute and his own father.
And frequently enough we read of nurses who assisted in suicides or killed patients in their care.
Nurses are no more "evil" than any other human being on the face of this earth, but the use of the title of the persons profession could, perhaps does, affect peoples' perceptions of the profession as a whole.
