3. I'm quitting nursing

   MVH119 replied to MVH119's topic in General Nursing

   What interests me is why anyone thinks nursing holds the moral high ground, Why would it? It is just a job. A dirty one at that. It does not give you moral superiority for liking it. I nursed for 12 years.

   It is a month now and if anything I dislike the job more as time goes on. I am in fact very seriously considering quitting nursing completely.

    MVH119 replied to nursemn's topic in General Nursing

    What a lot of nonsense! Funny how all Europe does not run around with infected penises at all turns. Circumcision is a superstition. No more and no less. It is an entirely unnecasary mutilation.
