Most of my encounters with nurses have been when someone was undergoing or recovering from surgery, or popping out babies, or when getting poked and probed myself. The nurses would be running around and hustling doing their jobs, and dealing with some pretty icky stuff. Between the discomfort if I'm the victim, er, uh, patient, or the anxiety that something might go terribly wrong if someone else is the patient, sexiness of the nurses is about the last thing on my mind. Can't say that I think of any profession in particular as being sexy. As far as my own profession being sexy, no one thinks engineers are sexy. But we do have our fair share of terminology with possible sexual connotations: rod, shaft, pump, suction, excite, peak, vibrate, insert, stiff, male and female connectors, nipple, jam nut, . . .
