Don't you ever get mortally wounded in Newark New Jersey.

I recently had to go to the emergency room for what I thought then was a broken finger. I started at a park in Newark New Jersey, working at an outdoor concert when a piece of equipment I was working with failed (a older Jib, for those in the entertainment business) that put into motion a set of events that eventually crushed my left pinkie finger

This sounds terrible. I have been in many awful ER experiences like this up here at Metropolitan Hospital (a city funded hospital and also what I think is what hell is like if there is one).

However, you said something that I need to comment on. 'that medical school didn't work out for her'. Not all nurses are medical school dropouts or medical school hopefuls. I am going into nursing because I carefully considered the pros and cons of both and decided that I find the nursing side of medicine to be more tailored to what I desire out of the medical field.

That said, many of the trauma nurses in poorly funded ERs aren't typically 'underpaid' either. They just have shit attitudes and the administration feeds it and probably makes it worse. They have little business dealing with the public in that capacity or really in any capacity. I have been tended to by horrific nurses in ERs and then I have also been tended to by some truly awesome nurses who made the doctors look like tools.
