It's actually not very difficult to become a nurse
The reality is that it's quite possible to get through the training despite being very stupid
I was one. Like I said, I worked with some very good and talented people and some utter halfwits
My mother and my grandmother were nurses. They had zero patience for the anti-vaxx thing. My grandmother especially would get very heated when talking about it. Probably because she was old enough to have seen some shit. My mother was a boomer, so she had things in her memory, too, but my grandmother looked like she wanted to throttle anti-vaxxers when she'd talk about this (at the time) relatively new way to be an idiot.
I think the anti-vaccine buffoonery started to slip in during Gen X parents, especially the younger ones, just a bit, but really really seems to have taken off with Gen Y and younger.
I remember listening to skeptic podcasts a lot in mid-00s and early teens, and I remember the common refrain was that vaccines are basically victims of their own SUCCESS. The ignorant and scientifically incurious look around, and see not too many diseases. They hear anecdotes of the unvaxxed, or they themselves didn't get vaxxed, and didn't get sick. Thanks to herd immunity, really, but they think vaccines are not really needed, that "Big Pharma" is racking up huge megabucks for vaccines (lol), etc....this kind of thing is only really possible in generations where they have no first-hand experience or don't believe what their parents/grandparents tell them about horrific outcomes of diseases that are largely preventable via vaccines.
it also falls in line of conservatives, one of my bro fell into the conservative manosphere recently have been " a hesitant of vaccine ever since" and another at work, and they said "it still exists?
Were they talking about Covid, or the Covid vaccine?
Oh, vaccines are absolutely a victim of their own success
As are the stupid who are protected from themselves in all sorts of ways
We could use a little more natural selection, but the stupid breed so prolifically, and young
I'mma guess you don't have a nursing degree?
It's quite a pain. 3-4 years of college/Uni and then 3 years of a nursing program.
The nursing program takes a lot. I have two roommates who are in the same cohort, and it's really not easy at all. Especially since most of the cohort are folks between 25-35 who have to hold down jobs, and have adult responsibilities.
I'm guessing you didn't read the final sentences
still need to get a BSN and college though. yea i did hear they make bank, if they are travelling nurses or places that are desperate need of nurses. i assume NP are the ones getting extra grad school, and not the RNs.
