I think your opinion of nurses is inversely proportional to how much time you've spent under their power, and proportional with your socioeconomic status and racial privilege.

So yeah, just like cops.

one of my fav parts of the netflix flat earth documentary was a guy who used flight patterns to determine the earth was flat, and had apparently never heard flight-tracking sites/apps like skyscanner

You haven't lived until you've watched a guy hold a level flat on a long flight and film the bubble to show that the earth isn't curved.

It might be one that varies by country, and requirements of certain professions cause things to shift around. One of the replies to the original tweet makes a very valid observation that in Australia the main future profession for female school bullies is hairdresser.

Yeah that bit about shithead men dropping out and becoming tradies and shithead women dropping out and becoming beauticians, then hooking up at TAFE and having shithead kids is right on the money.

The worst kid I know has an electrician for a dad and a manicurist for a mother, and when they told me they were moving to Phillip Island at the end of last year, I was incredibly relieved that my daughter wouldn't have to go to school with their son.

hi I've worked in healthcare a long time and while I've met a a number of nurses that are extraordinarily lovely I've met more than the same amount that are incredibly passionate and it still boggles my mind what we've accomplished together in regards to patient advocacy

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
There are lots of amazing nurses, but it's not like people are sharing clips of those intelligent, caring nurses not being anti-vaxx, crystal energy, flat earth nutjobs who mock and restrict assistance for sick people. The worst examples are what get amplified, and that in turn convinces people who would otherwise have zero opinion about nurses to think they all suck, and that signal boosts the original bad examples to a larger audience until you get groups of people going around unironically saying "ANAB". It's really the same with cops, where the worst examples of cops are murderers who are protected by a union that allows repugnant behavior to thrive, so we constantly hear about the people who absolutely shouldn't be cops and never about the cops who, you know, don't murder or rape people. There are, of course, bad cops and bad nurses and they should certainly, inarguably be removed and held accountable for their actions, but saying everyone of a profession is a monster doesn't make it any easier for the people who really try and really care.

My mom is a nurse who doesn't fall into the crazy trap, and after she retired from the Air Force she did some work for a prison. The conditions and restrictions horrified her, and it didn't take her long to become conflicted about leaving a place that was not run well with deputies who didn't give a poo poo about the inmates and her belief that if she left the inmates would suffer more because there'd be no one left who believes them or cares about them. She regularly travels three hours to sit next to and help care for the mother of her ex-husband, a woman who was an abusive narcissist and a real piece of poo poo to her kids for almost her entire life, because she knows none of the kids are going to stay by her side and they certainly aren't going to brush my grandma's teeth or help give her a bath. She is, in short, a goddamn saint and a joke about how all nurses are stupid villains ruffles my feathers.

Some nurses are stupid villains.

Ehh, black nurses have a pretty high rate of being anti-vacc and having similar “beliefs” that stand in direct opposition to their profession. Some of that is probably driven by distrust of the medical field driven of historical treatment of non-white people, but that doesn’t make it any better for their patients.

Not murdering and raping is a pretty low bar to clear. The major difference between nurses and cops is that the best nurses are actually providing an essential service and the best cops are... not actively causing harm? Maybe?

That is a bit far. There are police officers who do genuine good. That doesn't excuse their participation in covering for the many who are bad. Sometimes the ones who do bad are also the ones who do good because prejudice and racism are a hell of a drug.

On July 26, 2017, Jeff Payne, a detective for the Salt Lake City Police Department (SLCPD), arrested nurse Alex Wubbels at the University of Utah Hospital after she refused to draw blood from an unconscious patient. Footage of the incident released on August 31, 2017 went viral online. The SLCPD announced policy changes which would affect how police should handle situations involving drawing blood, and the hospital announced it would also change its police protocol to avoid repeating the incident. Utah lawmakers made a bill to amend the blood draw policy of Utah law enforcement, which Utah Governor Gary Herbert signed on March 15, 2018.

Neat trick how "there's a problem with nurses being prejudiced against patients" becomes "prejudice against nurses" in only a few posts. Are you the guy who wrote the dissertation about how cops just have A Few Bad Apples or are there two of you in here?
