- Abstract
The article provides insights from several nurses in England on whether it is reasonable to expect nurses to be role models for healthy weight. Staff nurse Liz Charalambous said expecting nurses to conform to perceived expectations on their appearance sets a dangerous precedent. Community staff nurse Drew Payne said unhealthy working conditions of nurses should be addressed. Nursing student Grant Byrne said employers need to support staff to have healthy lifestyles.
