Why are there so many fat nurses?

**RZZZA** · October 22, 2006, 12:52 PM

I dont trust a fat nurse or a fat doctor. Around my way, all I see is overweight nurses, especially on my college campus. These nurses buy Mcdonalds, eat it, and then go to their nurse class to learn about health. I'm sorry but I dont want a fat nurse telling me how to be healthy, theres just somethin wrong with that.

Anybody else here who doesnt trust overweight doctors/nurses?

I worked in the healthcare field for five years, and I can tell you why the majority of nurses are fat.

They're lazy. They'll complain their job is difficult, but it's not. A real nurse does nothing but sit around.

It's the CNA's/PCA's and LPN's that do all the work. RN's only have the fuss with paperwork and medications.

thank you, im glad im not the only one who acknowledges that taking health advice from a fat nurse isnt a good idea. Thats like taking basketball tips from a paraplegic, or hiring a humorless clown. Theres just something wrong with it.

When has a nusre ever given you dietary advice? In any case its probably a "do as I say not as I do" type of thing.

Why would I ever take health advice from an unhealthy person? Thats too much hypocrisy, even for me. And I LOVE hypocrisy, me and hypocrisy are like this

lol

well to answer your question, probably because her paycheck depends on your health, not hers. If you leave sicker then when you arrived she's gonna get canned. If she leaves unhealthier then when she arrived no one cares.

Since when does a nurses job include giving health advice?
That's the doctors job, isn't it?

Nurses are there to do things like changing bondages and helping you to the toilet and giving you injections.
They don't have a medical degree so they aren't even qualified to give you "health advice".

woh there, i say the contrary (in britain anyway) nurses work long irregular hours, and have underfunded equipment, are underpaid and often over worked. why people even bother being a nursse really puzzels me.

Tell that to my sister (a nurse practitioner now) and she'll slap you around the room. After she gets through with a 12 or 15 hour shift, that is.

**LoZz** · October 22, 2006, 01:50 PM

i belive my mother or possibly my father said its because they eat the naughty boys who dont take their injections (boosters/shots) im not sure if this is true though

**Erik** · October 22, 2006, 02:27 PM

In my country nurses work hard too.
And I can't remember seeing a fat nurse ever.
But then I haven't been in a hospital that often and I'm sure there are some fat nurses, but they must form a very small minority.

Police officers on the other hand....

**IronBrig4** · October 22, 2006, 02:58 PM

Whoa, just wait a second. My Mom is an RN, and they have a tough job. They're the ones who have to hold down a screaming toddler who doesn't want to get his flu shot. They're also the ones who have to scrub down invalids with a sponge. It gets really bad when that invalid is morbidly obese. I also know people who used to work as retirement home nurses, and they had to put up with so much crap (literally and figuratively).

verry true, In all my life, in all the times I have been in hospitals in both the Netherlands aswell as belgium I have seen maximum 3 fat nurses.

(If you ever have to go to a hospital and can decide when,-like when you have to undergo surgery but can set a date for it because it's not life threathening,- the best time to end up in hospital by far is during spring/start of summer when all the trainees start doing their practical training, beautifull 18 to 20 year old woman nursing you are a wonderfull thing)

Not that many fat nurses around here, most of them have to work as opposed to the fat doctors who don't do a thing and lounge all day.

**.Shadows.** · October 22, 2006, 06:15 PM

We have fat ones, I suspect its because the hot ones are all rubbing eachother with baby oil! Well thats what all the ones on the internet do!

You clearly don't live in the same nation that I do. Your "maturity" has nothing to do with you being a person though, i'll give you that.
Please try to learn a bit about how different things can be from one nation to another before making yourself look bad.

Edit: we actually have to "import" spanish doctors to provide for our citizens decently seeing as most portuguese doctors are after the fat paycheck and nothing else. This is, of course, blatant stereotyping but like 90% of all doctors i've met fit the profile.

I wasn't under the impression we were analyzing my maturity, particularly as I haven't made ludicrous off the cuff blanket statements demonstrating a juvenile and unwarranted hostile disposition towards doctors. Even if I don't live in the same nation that you do, I would find it hard to believe that the attitude and weight of doctors completely reverse simply because they crossed a boundary line.

You should be able to completely understand my outrage as you did not specify that the doctors which you are referring to live within a certain nation. You did say "the doctors".

**Manji** · October 22, 2006, 06:33 PM

If you had actually bothered to read the whole thread/topic you would have noticed that both me and some other posters refered to doctors and nurses in their nation, which I also did accordingly.

TO quote myself:

Also note that another poster, from the UK, also stated that nurses actually had to work hard in opposition to doctors.

Having said that, you were the one bringing my lack of intellectual maturity to the discussion, I simply responded to your verbal attack by indicating that your argument wasn't valid for my case, or any other case for that matter aside from perhaps your national medical system.

That said, let's not resort to direct attacks, it only makes the whole conversation cumbersome.
Peace?
