We have been invited to go visit the angry pharmacist and tell him what we think about MA's calling themselves nurses. Read the post- it's a hoot.

when i first started getting on this board as a pre-nursing student i though people were mean for bashing mas on here. now i understand. i am in my second year of a bsn program. last semester i spent the first three days of my spring break with no appetite followed by three days of diarrhea because of the stress i was under. i never even came close to feeling that way when i went through ma school or worked as a cma...i am working my tail off and using every stitch of my intellect and wits about me. when i graduate and take the board i will proudly call myself an rn; and only then. but that still is not going to stop me from being nice to ma's; not just because i use to be one. and even though i will work a lot harder as an rn than i did as an ma i did work hard and i was proud of my title and corrected people when they called me a nurse. i understand why people get angry when some one that is not a nurse (like an ma), but that does not mean you can not correct them politely. there was one post on that site from a male nurse taking about eating "poop" but the vulgar version, "and then i will make you poop it out and eat it again..." yea; thats a nurse i want people to think of when i say i am a nurse in the future....(thats sarcasm)

my thoughts exactally, is it not the nature of a professional to act professional, the likes of him makes the nurses look like idiots with a very poor vocabulary and undignified manner without a bit self respect.
