A female nurse ran the London marathon in her nurses uniform but it doesn’t count as is doesn’t fit with GWR view of a nurses uniform.

Obviously not frilly enough and no revealing skirt

next.

LarryGreysonsDoor · 03/05/2019 23:12

Quite.
Not like the one in the picture of one that would pass. I can’t imagine that uniform has ever be worn while nursing.

And no PVC?! for SHAME!!!

I wore a blue dress, cap, white apron, black stockings and black shoes when I was a student nurse, back in the seventies. Would that have been accepted?

Melroses · 03/05/2019 23:18

GWR are well out of date Hmm

OccasionalKite · 03/05/2019 23:22

Oh, FFS. And back we go to the late '50s and Carry On films again.

Rather than acknowledge women's lives, 2019.

Really, FFS.

I'm seriously starting to think that extinction might be the best outcome for our species. It's not really working out, is it?

The ’traditional’ nurses uniform as recognised by the Guinness World Records.

gah.

FFS

Awful. I'd like to see a list of the "official uniforms". Bastards.

Itwouldtakemuchmorethanthis · 04/05/2019 00:04

Well that’s just total nonsense isn’t it?Angry. That acceptable “nurses uniform” makes me think of women dressing up as “St Trinians”...just yuck.Angry

Antibles · 04/05/2019 00:06

A FFS from me too. Update yourselves, GWR. It's an ACTUAL nurse's uniform.

SlightAggrandising · 04/05/2019 00:07

We can lobby GWR? Someone? Fucking ridiculous

It’s the inherent underlying sexism that is pissing me off.
Real women doing their real job isn’t good enough. You should be doing it in a little skirt to look sexy for the men.

That decision is outrageous!

Congratulations to Jessica Anderson for the win and the money raised.

BlackeyedGruesome · 04/05/2019 10:35

What?!?

Ridiculous.

RepealTheGRA · 04/05/2019 10:38

WTAF?

I think I’m going to have to agree with this:

She definitely looks more like a doctor when she’s wearing scrubs, after all, all of the nurses I know where a white, strappy, arse showing dress with their t*ts out. How else could one possibly distinguish nurses from doctors. Besides the obvious, women could never be a doctor surely.

Who the f in GWR makes decisions on those things, and what is their process for deciding what counts from what doesn’t?

Well done to Jessica! And thanks OP for highlighting this to us all.

ChattyLion · 04/05/2019 10:59

Congratulations Jessica on the marathon run. Star so the Guinness world of Records will only accept Sex shop Halloween costume nurses outfits to show what a nurse is?

What does the RCN have to say about this?

powershowerforanhour · 04/05/2019 11:16

Well done Jessica on your brilliant time achieved in your actual work uniform. Sorry it wasn't porny enough.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 04/05/2019 12:18

Well done Jessica Star an amazing achievement.

The RCN need to be all over this. Nursing is a registered profession, you can’t just wear a carry on outfit and wiggle your tits.

Between that and the nastiness meted out to the slower runners I suspect there will be a shake up in the management structure before too long!
