I'm not usually one to keep up with these beauty pageant things, and this is probably (my first) and last time "keeping up" with them.

For those of you don't know, Miss Colorado, about a week ago, delivered this monologue about her career as a nurse. I'm going to be the first to say it, I wasn't personally a fan of the monologue. I felt like she herself really downplayed the amount of responsibility a nurse has for their patients among other things, but that's beside the point.

Enter "The View." This is their response to the monologue. Jesus, I don't even know where to begin. For one of America's largest professions, it still astounds me how little people know about it. We're not just pill pushers, and we're not your doctor's assistants, nor do we solely exist to give you coffee or extra juice for dinner. We are on the frontlines of making sure that your loved ones get the best possible care that they can get and our assessments is what drives your doctor's plan of care. We are responsible for recognizing life threatening symptoms (which are sometimes very subtle) so we can quickly get you the care that we need to save your god damn life. "The View" effectively shit on a profession that I have worked so hard to become a part of.

PS: I use my stethoscope everyday so I can properly do my job. Not only doctors use stethoscopes.

Ok, I'm done ranting now. Time for me to recuperate after my shift.

"The View" is a bunch of morons, that's a pretty well- established fact, so if its any consolidation, the only people who would believe them are middle-aged moms anyhow.

Nurses are totally awesome, that's for damn sure.

Talk shows are a bunch of garbage filled opinions that don't mean anything because guess what, their making millions talking about shit they don't know about therefore they don't care if they are accurate which is sad. Just keep doing what you are doing cause at least you are helping others, not sitting in front of cameras and people on a stage talking about what is going on in the world instead you are doing something meaningful.
