Just wanted to tell you that I've been reading all the posts to your "So tell me why you suddenly want to be a nurse" forum and it really kills me to see people jump all over your rear end like that...when I was 9 years old, my great grandmother was put in the hospital from complications with her tuberculosis and was 1 week short of being released to come home when she suddenly passed away due to a nurses mistake. Even at that young age, I still felt a "calling" to be a nurse and vowed to never be as careless as the one who caused my grandmother her life. It really bothers me that so many people are taking your words and mixing them all up and making it seem like you are saying you're "better" than everyone else, but I guess I just really wanted you to know that I completely agree with your post and support everything you said. I feel like nursing IS a career that God (or whoever else or whatever else you believe in) directs you and even though there are always the ones out that you talked about in your post, you just have to keep faith and tell yourself that their day will come. Let them be nasty now because sooner or later, they will get what they deserve. Perhaps they will be a pt one day and get a nurse who treats them the way they treat their patients?
