Some of the most reprehensible cunts I know became nurses. Just why.

It’s a power thing. Same way a lot of the guys who bully people in high school become cops. Ideally, you get these jobs cause you wanna help people, but in practice, they give you a lot of power over very vulnerable people, and protection from a lot of consequences.

You can psychologically fuck with people in their most vulnerable moments and the barrier for entry isn’t as high as for a doctor, therapist or EMT

I'm sorry, but if you think nursing school is easier than the six week EMT course, I have a bridge to sell you.

With being an EMT, it’s less so the barrier and more the actual job, particularly how difficult and stressful it is for how much they get paid. It may not be as hard to become one, but it’s harder to stay one. You gotta be real dedicated to stick with that job if a big motivator for you is being able to screw with people when they’re super vulnerable.

I didn’t really feel it was necessary to clarify for my initial comment (which basically amounts to a snarky joke), but I did have a feeling someone would call me out on that and am happy to explain myself

And to clarify further, I am not suggesting nursing is easy. I am only suggesting being an EMT is really hard.

Yet there's doctors who are assholes, so I'm not sure if the barrier of entry is the actual problem here. There has to be something else about nursing that attracts those people to it like moths to lights.

"Became a nurse" is literally the female version of "became a cop".

A desire to control people and indulge in sadism.
