Apple gives discounts to educators. Teachers get discounted computers/ipads.
First responders, police, fire get discounts everywhere.
Amazon gives working teachers discounts.
Teachers, police and fire where I live get pensions, lifetime health benefits- better than what is received in most hospitals today.
I am not against any of those professions given discounts, I wonder why what we do goes unnoticed/non valued.
I guess the person bringing the patient to the E.R. is more valuable than the person who does the work in the E.R. when it comes to saving the patients.

Like to hear others thoughts on this.
I don't do my job for discounts/monetary rewards/recognition. My badge gets me 10% off of scrubs at a local retailer and I'm content with that. Maybe I need to be outraged.
FTR, my DH is a police officer, there are no discounts being tossed into his path either. Clearly, we're doing something wrong...
Nurses deserve discounts and we also deserve pensions and lifetime free healthcare and any number of other things that we are not currently receiving. I did not take a vow of poverty to become a nurse. And you forgot the discounted mortgages that teachers get in certain geographic areas.
Sorry, I respectfully disagree with the statement "Nurses deserve discounts". I just do
