I like many of my readers have to see a nurse on a regular basis.

I few days ago mine changed faces. I’d been seeing my old one for years so it was a bit of a shock.

Anyhow as I did not know her name I addressed her as simply “Miss”. Miss is standard (in England) for female teachers by the way. And was for policewomen as well.

Her reaction ( and she did react) was that “these days” I wasn’t supposed to use the term Miss to address here but she said she didn’t mind it at all.

So I was intrigued how others think of this. So please do take our poll.

If you are a nurse please do tell us how you would like to be called in the comments section below! Also should I continue to call the lady “Miss”?

Thanks

These are the results from our Twitter poll

I think we should address female nurses as "Miss" to show our respect – as we do to teachers. Do you agree?

And one we conducted later with nurses themselves

Female Nurses – would you object to being addressed as "Miss" by patients as a mark of respect?
