Nurses

So evidently women on "The View" said something about some beauty contestant whose talent was being a nurse. This nurse/beauty contestant told a lovely, heartfelt story about one of her patients. I don't know all the exacts because I have zero interest in this story in particular, and I'm speaking more to the mindset of people these days.

People are getting offended cause that's what we do nowadays. Nurses are feeling disrespected, unappreciated, and humiliated by what was said about them. Not all things in this world are the same, nurses aren't going to get the respect from most people that a doctor will. Does this make what nurses do less important? How is anything different today if these ladies on "The View" had stated how great this was and paid this woman a compliment? People are under the impression that under no circumstances should their feelings be hurt.

I've never been in the hospital for any extended amount of time so I'm unfamiliar, in specifics, as to what they do. And honestly, I DON'T FUCKING CARE what they do. People are the patients, injured and often scared and what you do is completely irrelevant to me, just do your job. This isn't meant to be a knock specifically on nurses, it's for everyone and every field that think they're special. You're not, everyone does a job and that job can be made out to be a BIG deal. I'm in trucking, so, without me nobody would have anything. We deliver clothes, food, medical equipment, medicine, construction equipment, cars, literally fucking everything we use. And you know what, truckers get zero appreciation. And you know what, I don't give a fuck. People don't have to appreciate what you do to make it important.

This is the participation ribbon for adults. The mindset that everyone is a winner, everyone is important, and everyone should be given equal respect. It doesn't work that way. And, if you're concerned that people aren't respecting you, maybe your need for validation from others is the reason they don't respect you and not what you do for a living. Because in the end, who the fuck cares what other people think.
