dc.description.abstractCOVID‐19 has created an unprecedented public health emergency. Nurses are classified as frontline workers and face significant risk for high viral loads, infection, and death (Sim, 2020). Currently, nurses and nursing are highly visible in the media, conducting fever clinics, responding to workforce surges, and caring for critically ill patients, and world leaders acknowledge their contribution in daily reports. This has culminated in a new zeitgeist when the anonymous street artist and political activist, Banksy, portrayed nurses as superheroes (Morris, 2020). Although this acknowledgement and support for nurses is welcome, there is increasing concern about the current constructs of angel and hero used to describe nurses (Stokes‐Parish, 2020).
