It's a British-ism that means in this case "nurses work where the real/difficult/hard work is." It's a compliment to nurses.
EDIT: It comes from the men who would have to shovel coal right into the furnace to keep a factory, train, etc running.
Ahhh, thank you.
It's true, too--I used to be a CNA (certified nurse's aide). I spent all that time and money on training, only to absolutely suck at the job, largely because I was spending so much time around bodily wastes in a nursing home.
At the very least, it gave me a new respect for America's nursing staff. You really have to love that job to do it. I'm not joking, if you're a nurse or CNA here or whatever, my hat's off to you.
As a nurse who works in long term care (Nursing homes), my hat is always off to the CNA staff. Talk about heavy lifting, they are essential people in these facilities. A good staff of CNAs can make a place run smoothly.
