I recently mentioned my own weight struggles. Again, I’m not alone in the nursing profession. Some healthcare facilities are taking impressive measures to change the health of their workforce and the patients they serve.

As I continue my literature review on obesity within the nursing profession, I am finding some great thoughts about nurses and whether or not we are role models of health for the general public. I’ll post direct links to some of these gems later. First, what do you think? Are nurses role models for the general public, or is this an outdated and unrealistic thought?
