Elitism in nursing

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Nurses are pretty elitist. I don't even know why this website is here because whenever I see someone asking for advice or help, out comes the elitism.

Instead of helping people you just want people to know that they can't get in. I guess that's a survival mechanism to keep competition out. And they wonder why there is a nursing shortage. (go ahead, deny it exists as usual)

"nursing benefits suck" - not true, because many places offer pensions. count yourselves lucky. VERY lucky.

"the education is too hard" really? it takes an associates degree to become an RN. that's about the same level as a truck driver or a mechanic. on top of that, you get paid like you have a master's degree.

Yes, I think nurses deserve to be elitist and command respect on some level. But this website is nothing but a straw man.

I feel like you don't have much respect for mechanics and truck drivers ☹

Regardless, I've heard people say that nursing education is "hard"...but never that it's "too hard".

The nursing shortage does not exist. (That was mostly just cuz you told me to say it.)

Can you let me know which hospitals that you know of offer pensions? Because I would actually really like to work at one of those places. Serious question!

Too late. See my edit.

The Urban Dictionary is gospel........ Spent hours on there making up SATA questions during lecture in RN School....... All the while dreaming of turning wrenches and being greasy inside of a hot shop all day. Wiping my brow w/ my A.S. degree.
