I'm not sure that we are the "most respected profession."

Actually, we are, according to various Gallup-type polls.

I've read that too, and hey, we STILL are, because she's NOT one of us. She was only claiming to be one of us.

BWAHAHAHAHA That is SO NC. The last representative we had that was a nurse (she was a real one), was run out my the nursing association. This state is messed up. They all think everyone is too stupid to find these things out. Glad BON found her out.

One thing that caught my eye was the comment about Chiropractors doing medical exams. There was a practice that I ratted out. There was a chiro and an NP working in a single practice. They would double bill copays for a chiro visit and a medical visit. When I got the EOBs, I saw the physician that this NP was supposed to working under (this was about 8-9 years ago, so NPs had little autonomy) NEVER was on the premises. She had her own practice 2 towns over. They advertised as an urgent care/chiro/wellness center. I called and asked to speak to the physician and was quickly put on hold. All my copays were returned and the NP was gone out of the office (I had a friend that went there for chiro treatment). Should have known he was trouble. His license plate said Dr Crack.

There was a whole big scandal here with eye doctors as well. The eye doctor lobby got the state to require all school children to get expensive eye exams before Kindergarten. And you had to use one of the state approved doctors. The list goes on.

There was a problem with psychologists diagnosing dyslexia "too much" so they decided not to recognize it as a learning disability (I was a teacher here in NC for 4 years). This state is a MESS. Gerrymandering is supposedly going to be fixed.....

Sorry this was so long. It is very frustrating when they assume people are so stupid. We aren't

I'd already commented that our 'most trusted profession' thang is still intact because - after all - she's not one of us. But I was just reminded of Peter Gabriel's song of the same name, and here are a few of the more-appropriate lyrics. :^)

You may look like we do

Talk like we do

But you know how it is

You're not one of us

Not one of us

No you're not one of us

Not one of us

Not one of us

No you're not one of us

Is barefaced lying a conservative value? Just curious...

Since Trump got elected...yes. Yes it is.

I'm a conservative and you have just called me a barefaced liar. I resent such rhetoric and I think your post is divisive, hateful, and disgusting, and I would certainly expect an Allnurses "Guide" to be above such ignorant statements.

Hey guys, can we stick to the topic of someone misrepresenting themselves as an RN. Mad respect for both of you.:blink:

Please!!

Either someone else/staff wrote it and she didn't notice it (hard to believe, but possible), or she's a little bit of a nut job. Maybe her and Elizabeth Warren should get on a ticket together. lol.

Oh, did the state representative believe that she was a nurse because her family had always told her that she was a nurse?? I must have missed that part of the article.

Guys....:banghead:

They all lie...politicians I mean.

It would be so nice to actually talk about a subject without someone pulling out a political slam. Both sides of congress lie. Or at least "improve" on the truth in order to get elected. There are good democrats and good republicans.
