When someone mocks you for being a nurse

[fraydar]

I just had a really ****** night where I was mocked for going to school to be a nurse. I can't explain how frustrated and ******* ****** off I get when people mock me for my decision to be a nurse and make a positive difference in people's lives. I feel like so many people think nurses just put band aides on people's fingers. I hate this and just needed somewhere to vent, people are idiots, if there weren't nurses the healthcare system would collapse faster than a ******* popped balloon.

It's unfortunate that people feel the need to put others down based on ideas that society has planted in their heads, particularly something as idiotic as perceived gender roles. I think it's important to remember that you've chosen a career path that will allow you to help people for a living, to be there for them in their time in need, to put a human face on healthcare. It's important work, and anyone who would put you down for wanting to do it is probably pretty unhappy with where their life has ended up.
