remember what it was like. There was a time when we were treated with respect and dignity for the profession we were in. There was also a time if you had 3-5 years experience in acute care you could just about find a job and name your price! High demand. With the "birth" of all these MT schools making big promises, the market is flooded with MTs who don't have any experience expecting to make GREAT money and stay at home, right out of school. Quality in MT has gone down thus we get no respect and are treated like assembly line workers! Thing is some assembly line workers make pretty decent money, more than some of us are making!

Ella, you have retired, so this is for the working MTs
I fully understand the theme here. If you want to hobnob with Indians or other ethnic groups, fine. To sit here and be swamped with people who cannot speak English and we have to be letter perfect on everything, no wonder we have these feelings. Go back to knitting now, ok?

Hi Ella! I'm from New York City

I grew up in NYC.. multicultural, diverse, many different neighborhoods. I love NYC . Rude New Yorkers are a stereotype. All kinds of people here. Visit it sometime.

Love your posts, though... ths is an MT board - active, retired, former, and anyone who's thinking about becoming one.

Ella, it could be worse, see inside.

Ella I have read your posts on the sm
prayer board and they touched me. BUT, after reading your posts on the other boards, I have to question the way you speak to people. Calling them A Hs and telling folks to "wipe it", picking on "Yankees" etc is not my idea of a Christ-like behavior which is indeed what being a Christian means.

Not trying to pick a fight with you but you are not ever going to win anybody to Christ with this attitude of yours.

BTW, I am a "Yankee" transplanted to the south 24 years ago and there are good and bad people everywhere. Personally some of the nastiest, snottiest people I have ever met are from the south! Im not picking on anybody from any part of the country, but I have sure met some judgemental nasty people here. The attitudes you post are not helping either.

Also on your comment about being grateful that your 19 year old grandson doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs is wonderful but you say that is what is important. I beg to differ. If you are a Christian your relationship with Christ is what is important and if that is right the rest will follow! Its not about following rules and regulations.

I will probably get blasted for putting this on this board, but it is where the comment I wanted to answer was at. The discussion should be on the faith board.

Chill a little bit Ella, those in heaven are all gonna be together and if you don't like me here, you sure won't be there!

Ty Lenol, Mike Rokay, Ella Vill,
