MAGA nurse I work with and "professional nurses"


Yesterday, I made a quip at work about management's efforts to reduce our pay/overtime while still getting us to do the work (for less money). MAGA RN had just finished a double shift, because there was no one to replace her after her first shift ended. She asked me for union help to negotiate the way management was trying to claim she couldn't get overtime for her double shift.

When we were done with strategizing, I made the comment "well, now that we aren't 'professionals' anymore, I suspect we will see more of this from management".

Here's how her mental gymnastics worked to defend the DoE decision to downgrade RNs from professional status:

MAGA RN: This is only to make it so universities can't gouge students trying to get Masters and Doctorate degrees in nursing.
AllyCat: So, why wouldn't the DoE have made it so ALL graduate programs less expensive? Why just nurses and teachers? (yes, I know it's more than those 2 groups)

MR: Well, it only affects graduate-degree nurses, not us (Bachelors).
AC: It is interesting these are both professions with largely female workers.

MR: This is how the DoE is recognizing that women have lower earning power and this helps women in the long run be able to afford school.
AC: (walks away shaking head)

This is how they are rationalizing this. I only had 20 seconds and would love to have launched into "Why downgrade nurses at any level?" and any number of other arguments, but MAGA is telling women this is good for them and helps them.

I stopped reading at the phrase "I work with" knowing the rest is a lie.

Of course it is. You and I both know DUmp'Rats would rather cut off an appendage than actually work for a living.

BTW, here's the giveaway that the is fiction:

A conservative - man or woman - knows this feminazi talking point is false.

A -conservative regurgitating Prog talking points as true is proof that the -conservative is Prog fiction.

I've heard that there is also a 1970s porn or semi-porn movie about airline stewardesses. Maybe AllyCat should find that, too, and craft some more -fiction based on it ... maybe with AvPro's help.

I didn't read beyond the second sentence because the DUmbAsses fabricated story didn't draw me in like a good story is supposed to do. With that said, because of the title, I do want to point out something that I'm sure all of you (not the lurking DUmbAsses) are probably already aware of...

The DUmbAsses and their DemonRat overlords like to claim that MAGA only makes up a small portion of the population, but how can that be since the DUmbAsses seem to be running into them everywhere?
