I am a nursing student--used to be an English teacher--right, I know, from the frying pan into the fire--but on I go. I so appreciate your brutal honesty. As a middle-aged curmudgeon who sniffs out bullshit a mile away, I too, am prone to cynicism and a "bad attitude." Actually, I embrace this quality in myself and others, though politcal correctness requires its supression. Work is often a lonely propositition when professionalism, i.e., keeping the analytical part of your brain (the part the establishment tells you is crucial to becoming a successful practitioner) under wraps, is so disproportionately valued. Thanks for telling the truth. People often spew: "Oh, you should become a nurse practitioner!" No thanks! Way too old for that! I found a gem in your blog, though, and I will continue to take solace in reading honesty peppered with righteous indignation while LMAO along the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15944817.post-50755673413990051432007-05-31T18:12:00.000-07:002007-05-31T18:12:00.000-07:00While it wasn't so long ago that we were that idea...While it wasn't so long ago that we were that idealistic, thank god we had the good manners to keep our mouths shut about it!

It is in the way of asking though - can be constructive or even (wow this a concept) collaborative - but others can be just maddening. Chances are OB/GYN moves on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
