#NursesUnite // A Harris ER doctor stands with you

Next post

nurses_unite

By now you have probably seen the backlash regarding the comments The View and Joy Behar made about nurses following Sunday’s Miss America’s Pageant.

If you have not, take a look:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49O2IfMaFR8

Wow. First off, I am not a fan of the show. I never have been. We got rid of TV 6 years ago and have never looked back. The comments made by Joy Behar and gang prove my point as to the lack of quality in programming these days. Secondly, how in the world does a TV personality not think before they speak? I think if she had thought for one moment how incredibly ridiculous and unintelligent her comment was she would not have opened her mouth. Clearly she is regretting the backlash made by 3 million working nurses in the US today who are taking to social media (very effectively I might add) to describe their duties and capabilities and collectively uniting to educate those like Joy Behar who are uninformed.

NursesUnite2

And guess what? Ms. Behar did just that. She apologies to the millions of hardworking nurses who rightfully deserve an apology.

    My favorite nurse is my mom. She worked as an RN and nurse practitioner for 43 years and then upon retirement she decided to become my nanny/babysitter. She makes a 3 hour drive to Fort Worth weekly on Tuesdsys to help with my kids and then drives 3 hours back home on Thursdays. Talk about a lifetime of selflessness and giving! She truly is my hero! From all that driving she needs a car wash.

    Sandra, Dr. Bradfords nurse at 8th Ave Obstetrics, was a life saver for this anxious pregnant lady. She was always reassuring, calming, and incredibly patient. And I can’t even count how many times I called her. Thank you Sandra! And thank you TW Moms!

    The Mattress Factory

    A Fort Worth Original Since 1896! Harry Keeton, Sr., began selling mattress supplies in Fort Worth, Texas, back in 1896. Little did he know that this was the beginning of what was later to become the fastest growing chain of factory direct sleep stores. His two sons, Harry and Frank took over the business and expanded into Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California; shipping furniture and mattress supplies all over the world. Four generations later, Peter Duncan, Jr., realized that there was a need for Factory Direct Marketing and began selling his products directly to the consumer at wholesale prices. This concept has spread like wildfire. Public acceptance has been overwhelming. This great demand has caused the Mattress Factory to become a leader in the industry. Our production exceeds 10000 pieces manufactured each year. Our buying power, along with the "no middleman" concept give maximum savings, which are passed along to the customer... you! When you purchase from the Original Mattress Factory you save 50% off the purchase price at a retail store.
