They give him the "golden lamp" award last year for the worst portrayal of nursing in his song "The Nurse", he mails them "The Metaphorical Ignorance Award." :lol:

Touche!

Do you think there will be a counter-riposte from Jack since they continued to deride him? :lol:

QuoteFrom above link.

We said that it reinforced enduring stereotypes by comparing nursing to romantic love, mothering, and housekeeping--things that do not require years of college-level science training.

Most nurses love doing what they do, it certainly is compareable with mothering when you have a stroppy patient or one that needs their bum wiped and if you dont keep the place clean you end up with loads of infections. TBH except for operations there isnt that much that the average person couldnt do anyway.

so they are talking a load of BO**OX  :roll:

I would actually have thought mothers everywhere would be far more outraged at the inference that their job is easy or requires little brainpower.

 With a heavy lid
 My pop quiz kid
 A sleepy kisser
 A pretty war
 With feelings hid
 She begs me not to miss her
