Bad Week For Nurses

Bad Week For Nurses

Fifty years ago, no one would have predicted that teachers and nurses would represent a chunk of America’s radical left.

Yet here we are.

Teachers have been leftists for decades, with their unions pouring money into Democrat coffers and their unions fighting to trans the kids and put porn on school library shelves.

But nurses?

Until recently they were favorably regarded as the heirs of Florence Nightingale, dishing up skilled nursing care and kindness.

But in the past several weeks we’ve had shocking reminders of just how radical the nursing industry has become.

In fact, there’s a new trend of some nurses grotesquely fantasizing about hurting people who don’t share their radical politics. .

Take Alex Pretti, for instance. Repeatedly described as an “ICU nurse” - as if that confers some sort of sainthood upon him - the 37-year-old anti-ICE agitator was shot dead Saturday. Whether or not the shooting turns out to be justified, fact is, Pretti was on the streets engaging in illegal behavior at the urging of Minnesota’s governor and lieutenant governor.

The ICU nurse died trying to block federal agents from apprehending an illegal alien who was also a domestic abuser.

What a waste of life.

This wasn’t this nurse’s first encounter with ICE, either.

CNN reports that Pretti sustained a broken rib a week earlier after a violent encounter with ICE agents.

It appears that Pretti’s day job was caring for the sick while his hobby was acting as a street goon.

OK, here’s another nurse story.

Does anyone know “Melinda”? Any way we can get her fired? She’s reportedly been placed on administrative leave but nothing short of stripping her of her license should suffice. This woman should never care for another patient.

She’s supposedly a nurse in the Virginia Commonwealth University Health system. This week Melinda  made a chilling video full of helpful pointers for nurses who are treating ICE agents. She suggests administering a paralytic drug and then dousing the patients in poison.

Sick.

This comes on the heels of this evil rant from a Florida labor and delivery nurse named Lexie Lawlor. This twisted sister couldn’t wait to weigh in on news that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was pregnant with her second child.

Here she is.

How would you like this demented creature touching your newborn?

She’s not the only demon who learned about Leavitt’s pregnancy and started spouting vile filth. Meet Shonda Petrie Zarook of Ohio. This nurse also wanted to send some wishes to the young White House press secretary.

There’s more.

Meet Michael Moncure, a registered nurse at AtriumHealth in North Carolina. He commented online, saying ICE agents "better pray" they don't end up in a hospital because the nurses "won't be kind."

Someone needs to pull and review the records of every single patient that came into contact with these psychos.

What’s happened to nursing? What possesses people to publicly admit that their hatred of the right is stronger than their desire to care for patients?

Looking back, the profession got a black eye during covid when the public was told that hospitals were bursting with patients and medical staff was on the point of exhaustion, yet the people in scrubs had time to choreograph TikTok dance numbers.
