Politicians sometimes have a way of putting their foot in their mouth – especially when speaking about topics that they are unfamiliar with. When Washington state Senator Maureen Walsh incorrectly stated that nurses "probably play cards for a considerable amount of the day", her foot was planted firmly in her mouth. With nurses being named the most trusted profession for the 17th consecutive year, it's obvious that her assumption is incorrect.

Maureen Walsh: It's better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt. You need to remain silent because you know nothing about the profession of being a nurse. And obviously haven't been a patient. You are disrespecting a poplulation of people who work in a broken, money driven, capitalistic atmosphere. Standing, lifting, ? running for 12 hours a day, struggling to provide care to perfect strangers. Maureen Walsh, go somewhere and sit yourself down.
Sitting down is not an option when you are a nurse. Just so you know Senator Maureen Walsh! If we had time to sit down and play cards, do you think our feet and backs would hurt everyday we come home from work?????
