Re: Angels.

I think that's down to the BBC.

I can't remember the term being used to mean nurses, prior to the television programme in the mid seventies, set in the fictional St. Angela's in Battersea, and called Angels.

I agreee, it is rather disparaging.

I don't think many heavenly angels would do half the mucky jobs nurses have to deal with, for fear of getting their pristine wings dirty.
