I, and everyone I have talked to about it, was delighted to see Miss Colorado speak about nursing instead of performing another useless song and dance routine. I have several disorders and a disability that land me in the hospital quite often, and I can easily say that the nurses who have taken care of me have left much more of an impact on me than any doctor. <br /><br />Several years ago, I had an unexplainable illness that landed me in the hospital once a month. I saw doctor after doctor, none of them could diagnose me, and some even began to write me off as drug or attention-seeking. It was the nurses who fought for me. It was a nurse who finally suggested what could be wrong with me, and it turned out she was right. I would never underestimate the skill, dedication, and hard work that nurses do, and I think that anyone who has been a patient in a hospital or nursing home for a while would agree.

In rereading the post after your comment, I could have made the distinction a bit better - I'm not infuriated at just what Joy said. I'm mad, frustrated, fed up with the dismissal of nursing as a profession overall. <br /><br />Joy's statement was just an offhanded comment which sadly underscores the general lack of respect. It infuriates me in the same way casual sexism exists when men's Halloween costumes are doctors scrubs and women's are the sexy nurse. It infuriates me in the same way I can do a dozen critical steps in taking care of a patient and they turn around and ask me to "be a nice girl" and go thank the doctor for taking care of them. It infuriates me in the same way I make less than my male coworkers, even though this is a female driven profession. <br /><br />I guess I'm just picking this as my soapbox to stand on, because I want nursing to be respected and I want to be a woman within the field who is recognized for my skills instead of being patronized or the object of objectification. Joy didn't so much as simply offend me, she just represents a much more widespread complete dismissal of nursing as a whole.

With that said, did what she say really "infuriate" you? Does what one dumb woman on a trashy gossip show says out of ignorance really affect your life so much that it infuriates you? This latest fad of being offended in America is getting out of hand. It seems like every other headline I read these days is where someone is outraged over something that ultimately doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. It seems like we as coddled Americans have nothing better to do with our first world comfort than to manufacture reasons to be offended.
