I am a college student who just got into the nursing program at Kansas Wesleyan University. To read something like this saying that nurses are pathetic is not a very enticing thing to read. Hearing and reading how nurses do not do things to help better their working conditions and everything else is not satisfying and does not really make someone want to go into the field. I mean I realize that all people in professions have to put up with working conditions and have to maybe deal with people that are well less then friendly but, I agree with some of the others, I do not think nurses are pathetic.
