Yes nurses Rock but..

You have to admit that there are those nurses who also STINK!

Yup I know what your thinking but I have been in this profession for many years and all I hear are complaints from nurses from school to the work place out in public.. so why are you a Nurse then? Nurses cry about almost everything! They can be very rude at times but yet they walk around with a WE ROCK MENTALITY! *NOT ALL BUT LOTS* if we rock and are such team players why are we like this. We give STNA'S HELL, and they work sooo hard bless their hearts...We cry in offices where MA's are performing our job but getting paid less (which I don't get) , RN's and LPN's fight over who's better and who's not. I remember when nurses were TEAM PLAYERS, They went above and beyond on their jobs, they helped people get better and not rip their scalp off because they dont carry title.. I just wish there were more real old school nurses than what we have now. AGAIN NOT ALL NURSES ACT THIS WAY BUT A GOOD HANDFUL SPOIL IT FOR THE GOOD ONES. #JustBeingReal

This is a reality in any workforce, nursing or otherwise. Welcome to the adult world. However, the poor attitudes of some nurses don't diminish the overall excellence of the profession.

I'd suggest you use the term "some" instead of "we", at least until you're a nurse versus a soon-to-be student. You really can't speak on behalf of a profession you've never joined, no matter how much CNA/MA/EMT/etc experience you might claim. And also because I and many other members surely don't want you speaking for us in your generalizations.

You can remember when nurses were team players? Based on what? When you do finally become a nurse, see if you can exemplify all the things you listed. You might want to revisit your post periodically to see how you are doing. And when you are experienced and a student starts pontificating to you, I trust you can rely on your sense of humour.

But I do wish you a fun and fulfilling career. For all the crap, I don't regret a minute.
