at least where i live every 16-25 year old slut/retard goes into nursing. like at first, i would hear people say they were going to be a nursing assistant. whatever, cool, i thought.
then more and more people i knew were/had or wanted to do it.
Seriously, in and around Boston the only requirement for becoming a nurse is an IQ above 50. I know a girl that failed her driving test 10 times and became a nurse. She can’t even get a driver’s license and is administering medicine to people.
After my shoulder surgery, I had enough morphine in me to kill a horse, the nurse came in and says “You look like you lift. You should take a few days off before you go bench lifting again” I looked at her and said “Bench lifting, shut the fuck up” they kind of hurried me out of the recovery room after that.
A friends mom is a nurse and was “quarantined” in Mass General for having caught some kind of bacterial infection that was transmitted though feces. She said “I never washed my hands before going to lunch or dinner before and never got sick.”
They all want get into it because all you need is an associates degree, you don’t need to know what your doing, and you can make decent money.
what do they even make? [/quote]
i make well over 100k. entry level right out of school, yeah, you dont have to be too bright. i was working on a masters in biology when i switched to nursing, and my first few days i remember telling people who kept asking me about it, saying " i feel like i am back in high school". lol
but after you get in and specialize, is where you separate the idiots from the highly skilled tradesmen(like i consider myself). the nurses like myself who gravitate towards critical care, trauma, mobile/field critical care, have to have a pretty good head on there shoulders and obtain a lot of national certifications.
i have national certs in trauma, critical care, emergency care, mobile(field) emergency care, advance cardiac care, pediatric advanced life support, just to name a few. i can insert needles into your trachea to keep you breathing, tubes down you throat to do the same, put a line into you jugular to give you life saving medicines or blood/fluid, on a daily basis i titrate highly vasoactive drugs that if i misplace a decimal in my calculations i could kill you in a few minutes, i routinely operate equipment that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions, such as an heart lung bypass machine, dialysis machine, an aortic balloon pump, a LVAD(left ventricular assist device), i could go on.
i have saved more lives than i can easily count. often despite idiot doctors, pharmacists, and of course the idiots patients themselves who often bring it on themselves like driving high or drunk, smoke 3 packs a day, dive into a shallow pool headfirst, get themselves blown to pieces in a shoot-out with other gangbangers or police, ride their motorcycles without a helmet, etc.
oh, and if you told me to “shut the fuck up” while i was caring for you in my department, i would put my foot so far up your ass you could floss you teeth with my laces.
… Are you training for the olympics?
