No, she's now the boss

Her last two jobs has been as Surgical Nurse Manager, one of the top eye surgury center in the area and the other at a pain surgery center. Kind of hard to join the union when you're the boss. Who'd she bitch about?

Hillary made those typically arrogant and stupid remarks not too long after her father died, so perhaps she was speaking from grief rather than what seemed to be her normal attitude to anyone who wasn't a lawyer. She most definitely did say it, though, and I never saw any indication where she apologized for those hateful remarks. Nurses are very hard working people and are on the front lines of medicine. My wife quit working hospital nursing when she was expected to take care of 14 seriously ill med-surg patients by herself. She refuse to do that because she knew it was jeapordizing her patients and her career. That's one reason why there are so many "former nurses" out there, resulting in a serious shortage nationwide. The burnout rate is very high. My son, currently in the Navy as a Surgical Tech Instructor, is finishing his associates degree and is trying to get into nursing school. It's becoming a family tradition. My wife, her sister, and our niece are all nurses.

As for me, I'm not at all bitter about how things have turned out. I take life as it comes, work hard, and make it a point to never envy what others have nor to dictate other people's choices. I also make it a point to refuse to allow anyone to dictate my choices, either (other than my wife who has veto authority on most things).77
