    That’s fine. I’ll ask my wife and her friends, a mix of NPs, PAs, and RNs, if they recognize the current administration as professional.

    Answer will be no and they can kick rocks.

      My partner is a nurse here in the Northeast. Unfortunately a lot of her coworkers are Trumpies.

      Most of them are practically disengaged from politics and only follow their (male) partner’s political beliefs. If they’re from one of the surrounding rural (white and low income) areas, the chances they’re like this are higher. Not shockingly, a fair amount of their partners are cops.

      It’s strange and disheartening to hear about nurses she works with who flaunt that they won’t get the covid vaccine, who denigrate patients with substance abuse disorder, who verbalize that they would rather not treat a trans person, and who treat black and brown folks like a different species. But it’s definitely a trend in nursing culture up here.

      Its especially difficult for my partner who chose this path in large part because of her acute sense of empathy. The state of healthcare is just bad here.

        No no, see, they’re part of the demographic that’s predestined for success because this is their country, so it’ll all work out for them, no matter how many things this administration does to strip them of their title, success, income, benefits, rights, and dignity.

      It’s also targeting fields that are usually a majority of women on top of the access.
