Taking to social media to express her anger and frustration over this growing trend, the Ghanaian nurse suggested that the proliferation of nurses' uniforms was getting out of hand.
"You go to markets and then you see kayayes wearing our uniform. You are in town and then you would see seamstresses wearing our uniform. You come on social media and you see these self-acclaimed influencers and celebrities wearing our uniform all in the name of creating content," she said.
"As far as we are concerned, we know that the uniform is for someone who has undergone training, but these people just wake up and then wear our uniform to create content. We are concerned as nurses because you can't wear immigration or military uniforms to create your content or funny skits," she added.
Consequently, the young lady called on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) of Ghana to curb the growing trend and take action against persons who misuse the uniform.
"We are pleading with the NMC to do something about it because it's getting rampant; it's so uncalled for," she added.
