I'll bet that you carry no liability insurance or your company does it for you....I'll bet you don't face life and death situations in your aseptic lab with the air conditioning....and I'll bet even though you work at a desk and work with electronics, not human beings you get paid probably twice what a registered nurse caring for the sick and dying do....

and I'll bet you have terrific pension and other benefits...most non profit nurses have neither...

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

You bet wrong...

I work with arsine, boron fluoride, hydrofluoric and many other acids, caustics, oxidizers, radiant energy, and have HAZWOPER responsibilities (with confined space rescues), SCBAs, evacuations and the emergency first aid that comes with the territory in industrial accidents, DOT regulations, EPA regulations, etc., etc.,...

And, since I’m an engineering contractor, I have to deal with the insurance thieves (and insolent, negligent union thugs) who produce nothing and feed off of everyone’s misery.

Nurses are more likely (as an emergency room or critical care nurse) to get shot by an illegal alien gang banger wanting to finish the job on a victim who was most likely a previous partner in crime.

And while I do respect nurses (some of my friends are former army medics now in nursing), I know all the crazy stories about the union idiots who maliciously cause needless strife and trouble in the hospitals.
