The state of nursing: I'd rather die

I mean, practically both ways you'll be dead but still. One of the nurses had to come back to the hospital and had to do something basic: take blood pressure. This nurse forgot how to do the test so badly, my cousin had to REMIND her how to do it. She ended up having to google the procedure, because she couldn't remember how it was done. She then failed to understand how blood pressure works since she forgot that blood pressure can be done on the legs or arms, but will give different readings. She was very ... confused why this was.

These are the same retards doing surgery and complex operations. We are so fucked as a country

My last job before I retired was calibrating instruments. A few months ago I went in for a 'wellness check'. They used one of those blood pressure gizmos they push around on a stand, put the cuff on you and push a button. It read the highest I've ever been measured. So I asked when the last time it was sent out to be calibrated. Nurse - what's that? No calibration stickers on it. I told her it should calibrated at least once a year. Had her take my BP again manually and it was 'normal'.
