Jade, it is good you got out of nursing. You are far too sensitive about criticism. No one said ALL nurses are no good. 99.9% of all nurses I have met or whom have treated me have been wonderful, bright and caring. Nurse Mengle was horrible and would be horrible regardless of what she did for a living. She simply had no people skills.

When I was discharged, she didn't even walk me out to the admin desk. First time I was discharged and sent off on my own. My husband had gone to get the car and I was sent off walking, and I had a rough time taking very small steps, went to the desk and signed out. Then had a heck of a time getting up from the chair and walking to the door with no one checking to make sure I didn't fall. Nurse Mengele was back I am sure, intimidating some other poor soul!

Don't defend all nurses based on your career. There are bad apples in most bunches. NO ONE said all nurses were the same and NO ONE said to fire this nurse.

She should however, be put on a night shift on a ward where people don't need sympathy or caring because she doesn't have that gene!

Now put that in your pipe and smoke it!
