Faith Hill makes fun of nurses!

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I don't usually sit around watching junk on tv but last night I was trapped at work with nothing to do. So I found this show called "Country Music Divas." Since I am curious as to what, besides looks, women like Faith Hill and Shania Twain have(I'm not saying these women aren't perfectly likeable and nice, but I just don't see the talent) I thought I would watch and see what all the fuss over them was about.

So Faith Hill was talking about moving to Nashville and seeing how hard it was going to be in the music business. She said she asked her mother "Maybe I should just go be a *nurse* or something?...ha ha ha." :rolleyes:

I know in this world everyone is looking for something to get offended at, and maybe she didn't mean it the way it sounded, but it just kind of irked me. Like people with no brains or talent or drive become nurses "or something"..ha ha ha.

(By the way, after watching the program I *still* don't see what the fuss over these women is about.)

Not looking for a debate. Just something to get off my chest.

Well I would not put toooo awfully much credence in an entertainer's off-the-cuff remark in this context. It was ignorant, but not the end of the world. I am thinking she meant no disrespect, really.

Currently, I work as a nurse and sing in a band - sometimes on the same day - I'll go right to practice from working a 12 (those are rough days the next day) and I can say, since there's no chance of killing someone with my singing, I'd say that's the easier job to have!!!!!! But Faith just don't know how much fun she's missing........

I understand where you're coming from. It kinda makes me cringe to hear my profession talked about like that.

What's the fuss you ask? I'm not a Faith Hill fan, but she's made a could of good songs like "Breathe", "This Kiss" and "Let's Make Love".

Shania Twain on the other hand has made some of the best pop music in late 90s early 2000's. Hit, after hit, after hit. Here album "Come On Over" is one of the best selling albums in the world, of all time, with about 20 million or so sold. Her songs are catchy and fun. I love her. And she's gorgeous.

Don't worry, I understand you are not trying to start a debate. I can see why the comment would irritate you.

Nursing requires so much than a voice, looks and good publicist.

This is a profession that needs more public education so there can be more respect (and hopefully in time better working conditions)

Wasn't one of her children born about 7 weeks premature and spent time in the NICU? t.
