Nurses Don’t Want You Dressing Like ‘Sexy Nurses’ For Halloween

Every year, Halloween gives an opportunity to people to dress up in sexy versions of all sorts of professions. But this year, there's one group of professionals that is asking people to think twice before donning a sexy costume: nurses.

That's right, CBC News reports that the Professional Order of Nurses in Quebec, Canada is asking people not to dress like Sexy Nurses for Halloween. The president of the Order, Luc Mathieu, says that sexualizing nurse uniforms "perpetuates sexist and degrading stereotypes and fantasies about nurses' profession and expertise."

The president of the Quebec Nurses' Association, Natalie Stake-Doucet, echoed Mathieu's sentiments, saying that nurses are often subjected to lewd comments and assumptions about their character. "I've been a nurse for 12 years. I've seen pretty much everything you can think of," she said. "The things we've been subjected to from patients, friends, family... we often get stuff like, 'oh you're a nurse, that means you're a nymphomaniac' or something like that. But we're all educated and trained to take care of people in professional ways."

Let's show some respect for the hardworking men and women who dedicate their lives to taking care of us when we're sick or injured.

Do you have your Halloween costume picked out yet? If you're like most people, you probably haven't given it too much thought. But if you have been thinking about it and you chose a Sexy Nurse this year, you might want to reconsider. After all, they've got enough to deal with without having to worry about people ogling them while they're trying to do their job!

Are you a nurse? Do people dressing like Sexy Nurses bother you?

Las Vegas locals planning to spend Halloween in the Vegas Valley, CONGRATULATIONS! You will officially be spending October 31st in one of the "best cities for Halloween."

Finally, Las Vegas has found its way onto a GOOD list. According to a new survey by Wallethub, some cities reign supreme in the "spooky season" category, and Vegas has cracked the top 20 Halloween destinations. Woop woop!

The survey ranked the 100 largest U.S. cities based on 22 key metrics. Some of these included the number of Halloween parties that occur, the number of Halloween costume and party supply stores, the number of pumpkin patches, and the number of amusement parks in each individual city, and more. And the results were spook-tacular!

Vegas has truly ranked among the best of the best when it comes to the offerings of other cities. And are we shocked? Not at all. We already knew we were the life of the party. October in Sin City offers never ending fun!

But some of the additional cities that cracked the top 20 are a bit surprising to me. I will admit, some of the destinations I have not personally visited. Perhaps the lack of personal experience visiting these cities is the root of my disbelief. That said, the research has spoken! Sounds like I'll be needing to plan a few trips this spooky season to investigate for myself.

Las Vegas certainly earned its top spot, as the city placed highly among several subcategories. These include landing the #1 spot for having the "most costume stores per capita" and #1 for having the "most candy and chocolate stores per capita." I'm not shocked.

It's definitely worth noting that Las Vegas was not the only city in Nevada that made its mark on this survey. Henderson made it's name among the "crime rate" category, ranking #4 for the lowest crime rate. Yay for safety! Reno also tied for #2 in the "lowest average price per Halloween party ticket" subcategory. some of the subcategories that went into the overall survey. The city ranked #4 for the "lowest crime rate"

See which U.S. cities have been named the best cities for Halloween:

Boston is one of the best places to spend Halloween! The city is full of haunted houses, costume parties, and pumpkin patches. There's always something fun to do on Halloween in Boston!

If you're looking for a spook-tacular Halloween experience, Santa Ana, California is the place to be! The city hosts a variety of events throughout October, including a haunted house, pumpkin patch, and trick-or-treating with the local businesses. So whether you're looking to get your scare on or just enjoy some seasonal fun, Santa Ana has you covered!

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas - except for Halloween. On October 31st, the spooks, goblins, and witches come out to play in Sin City. You'll find casino-goers dressed in their best costumes, and party-goers enjoying special Halloween events at nightclubs and bars.

I've never personally visited Jersey City, but from what I hear, Halloween in Jersey City is always a blast! It's said that there are so many different cultures and traditions represented, and you never know what kind of costumes or celebrations you're going to see. Maybe this year, I'll get to experience all of the amazing costumes and delicious treats myself!

If you want to see some truly scary costumes, head to San Jose on Halloween. There, you’ll find people dressed as everything from serial killers to Ebola patients. You never know what you might see on the streets of San Jose on Halloween!

A beautiful city with fabulous Halloween celebrations! San Diego is certainly one of the best places to spend Halloween. The weather is nearly always perfect, and I hear the parties are legendary.

In LA on Halloween night, the only thing that's scarier than the costumes is the traffic. The freeways are packed with ghouls and goblins trying to get to their next party, and the gridlock can last for hours. But those in the city know how to make the most of it, and they always find a way to have a good time. Whether they're trick-or-treating in their own neighborhood or heading to one of the big downtown celebrations, they know how to have a spooky, good time.

Halloween in Miami can be a little hot and a little sweaty. But everyone tends to go the max on their costumes, and it's a ton of fun, especially if you stay near the beach. There's something about the ocean breeze that makes everything feel a little bit more magical.

San Francisco comes alive with people in costumes and celebration on Halloween. You can find all sorts of fun events happening throughout the city, from parties to haunted houses. It doesn't get much better than San Francisco for a spooky good time.

From haunted houses and hayrides to costume parties and trick-or-treating, there's something for everyone in the Big Apple. So put on your best costume, and get ready to have a spook-tacular time!
