This commercial is degrading to nurses. The actor says he wanted to go to medical school, but wasn't able to, so instead he became a nurse at SPC. Nursing is not a fall back plan for medical school wannabes, and the school should be ashamed of promoting its college of nursing in this manner. The science and application of nursing has strived to become legitimized, autonomous, professional and separate from medicine. SPC should be ashamed and should revoke this commercial immediately.
@kathygardner62 Hello Greetings, My name is John Pierre Quimbo, and I happen to be the Actor in that commercial. When I auditioned for this commercial, I was also chosen based on my story. This story is not made up, and is based on a true life story of mine. I am not only an actor, but I am also a Cardiac Registered Nurse at Morton Plant Hospital. This commercial is based on true facts about my life and what SPC has done for me. I am very thankful and proud to be an Alumni of SPC. Thank you =)
@kathygardner62 I agree completely. This is demeaning to nurses. I thought the same thing before I saw your comment. I'm a male nursing student, and I'm doing it because I want to be a nurse, not a doctor. This commercial pisses me off.
This is demeaning to nurses. Not every nurse is a failed doctor. Believe it or not, some male nurses actually want to be nurses first.
