Swedish hospital looking for 'TV-series' hot nurses

A hospital is looking for attractive nurses who are "TV-series hot."

Or not. The Stockholm South General in Sweden ran an advertisement that said: "You will be motivated, professional, and have a sense of humour. And of course, you will be TV-series hot or a Soder hipster."

"Throw in a nurse's education and you are welcome to seek a summer job at Sodersjukhuset's (Stockholm South General) emergency department," the ad said.

However, Jorgen Andersson, the nursing manager, later told the news site The Local, an English-language Swedish newspaper, that the ad was only meant to catch people's attention.

While the hospital wanted to hire competent nurses, it also wanted to stand out with their ad campaign, Andersson said.

The hospital hasn't received any negative feedback, a report of the news site Emirates 24/7 said on Wednesday.


"We hope we piqued your curiosity and you want to come and meet us, so we can tell you more about your future as a nurse," a statement of the hospital said.

Last year, Philippine Vice President Jejomar Binay said job opportunities in Sweden may be opened for Filipino nurses.
