Have we sunken so low? Would you?

"Women's rights activists also tend to be extremists."

Hahahahaha. Those RADICAL women, wanting equal pay. They clearly have no reason to, considering women barely make 75 cents on the dollar to men.

Sorry, just had to comment. It made me really laugh to see that.

Women's rights activists also tend to be extremists. It hardly turns them into prostitutes.

Womens rights advocates have been battling for rights that we all take for granted, People labeled them extremists when they wanted the right to vote etc, (gasp) Yes calling them prostitutes is an exageration, but it makes the point,
One which I respect our difference of opinions in

They still work as nurses, regardless of the benefits they are offered. MOST companies offer discounts on their services to their employees. When I waited tables I got a discount when eating out at the restaurant chain I worked at. Now that I work at a very large hospital, I get a very cheap insurance premium that involves going only to the hospital I work at (we are self-insured). I don't see why this is a bad thing all around...it applies to EVERY OTHER JOB on the planet.


Thank you but I didn't work hard for my degree to be compared to a car salesman (no offense, but nursing a profession, and I had wanted it to be a respected profession- To follow your line of thinking, i would have worked in a furniture store after i got married in order to furnish my apartment, then go on to being a car salesman etc. I guess i should soon work for a funeral home....:-)
The reason these jobs offer discounts is because they are not respected professions, I am sorry to be so blunt... You dont have to undergo the years of training thatwe do in order to be an insurance salesman...


Oh, and by the way, if your biggest incentive is salary then work in-patient nights on holidays. Some people choose clinic jobs which are rarely as good in pay because they value other things, like hours that they work. So if you have to work a 9-5 for personal reasons, considering that pay is going to be roughly equal between multiple jobs, you choose the one with the best benefits.

Yes, my biggest incentive is PRIDE in my profession, and that includes a better salary-
I would like to think that most people choose where they work on the basis of many things, convenience is one, I wouldn't compare this to that, but if you do, I respect your opinion

I'm sorry that you somehow equate prositution with cosmetic surgery, but when my mother was working for another doc she got free Botox.

Did your mother choose to work for that doctor only in order to get her free botox? even if she did, that is her choice, the difference is the public image that is being presented here, not the individual situation. I would like to think we make better career choices but if that is what is important to all you nurses, then go for it, to each their own
I was stating my humble opinion here and have enjoyed the responses of the other side of the coin.
BTW I work in geriatrics and am proud of every wrinkle, gray hair, etc. I have seen cosmetic surgeries botched up , a friend was in bed for 2 months after liposuction etc, voluntarily going under the knife is not for me, but the success of the industry tells me that if is for others, and that is fine. But dont bring my whole profession into it We are all painted with the same brush

So chill out. No one is forcing you to move to the Czech Republic and get breast augmentation for work, and don't condemn the actions of other people who are free to make their own choices about their own bodies.
