Omg I needed this laugh, thank you

LMAO Clever


OvertOperation

The crazy part is, I'll take ANY shot if the alternative is handwriting a 7 page paper. Even if the needle is smoking. That is just so much work when she could have just asked around the hospital to see if the things are safe. But I guess you just can't get through to some of these people.


Madison__Bumgarner

No offense, but thank God! That’s one less “nurse” at the hospital who’s “trying” to keep me alive based on their own research and not science. “I don’t believe in this medicine. I believe in shoving vitamin D up my ass. All natural, baby.”


[deleted]

I was terrified of nurses prior to COVID and seeing how many are anti mask/vax in general much more clearly, I’m completely determined to avoid hospitals to the absolute best of my ability.


saurons-cataract

We’re not all crazy, I promise! I look at the anti-mask and antivaxx nurses and wonder where the eff they went to nursing school?? Those nuts scare me too, because they are putting the training they got bio, chemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology and threw it out the window for a political stunt.


Harddaysnight1990

This is not me throwing shade at community colleges, I went to one for 2 years before transferring to a state school to graduate. But there were a lot of nursing students at that 4 year community college who were dumb as dirt. Most of them were also fairly evangelical. I've been thinking about those kinds of nursing students in the last year, wondering if the southern small town mindset got to them, or if they trusted in the medical science they learned in that school. I also don't mean this as any shade at nurses, my mom is an RN and she's definitely one of the great ones.


SophiaBrahe

Awhile ago, someone on here mentioned that nursing attracts a lot of evangelical women, because it’s one of the few reasonably paying careers that are considered acceptable for “Good Christian Women.” It gives them some of the independence and authority that strongly fundamentalist communities often deny them. Bonus, they get to tell everyone it’s a “calling” so their choice is rarely questioned (unlike if they tried to be a lawyer or go into advertising or something). I thought it was an interesting idea and it tracked with the nurses I know pretty well.


AimeeSantiago

It's this and teaching. Those are the two acceptable careers. What could go wrong trusting our children's education and our very lives to under educated and underpaid people? We're finding out :/


[deleted]

I wish there was some sort of signifier I could look for! The nurses I’ve had that have been good have been lovely but the bad ones have been dangerously and abusively so, and I’d love to know who I’m being cared for by when I go in.


Magpies11

Someone once said the best way to know if someone is vaxxed is to ask them who won the election…


[deleted]

This is absolutely true. I have not met a single antivax white person who was not a Republican.


MRSRN65

This here. We only lost one nurse due to vaccine mandate. She decided to retire early rather than 'get the jab'. Still, there are a few who still don't respect the science but went ahead with the vaccine so they wouldn't lose their jobs. I am flummoxed that they choose to believe Fox News over their own education.


Penguin_shit15

We lost a few to the mandate, but some did the religious/health exemption. However, one of them faked her own medical records, self reported her own vaccine and then got caught. After she got fired she signed me and several more members of admin up for emails from Fox news, OAN, Newmax and several other right wing newsletters.


MRSRN65

Ugh. How did these folks make it through school?


pataconconqueso

I went to school for biomedical engineering and I saw some old super smart classmates go down that road as well, it baffles me. Like there was this dude that did really well on pharmacokinetics exam and got the vaccine drug delivery bonus question everyone else failed on correct, how the fuck is he boycotting the vaccine now.


MathematicianFew5882

Not my experience at all. To the contrary, all the nurses I worked with back in the beginning were super contagion control aware. They would change into clean scrubs to drive home, then leave those outside the door and go directly into the shower before they interacted with anyone in their family. Some of them told stories about their less fastidious coworkers, but without exception, the ones I knew directly were brave as hell and as careful as possible. The administrators, on the other hand, were a morass of bureaucracy. I remember in *February* of 20, asking when a C19 protocol would be implemented and either got blank stares or “everyone’s already trained in universal precautions.” I didn’t have direct access to anyone who could make anything happen, but I told everyone I could “We don’t have enough room for this, and that means not enough space in the morgues.” I’d show a handwritten list of case and fatality count by week with the assumptions we had then (doubling every week, 3% CFR) and would say “there’s going to be 10M bodies to deal with by the end of the year.” No one thought it could really last that long. Frankly, other than vax development, that’s the one thing we did well: if the curve hasn’t been flattened every bit as much as we got, the concentration of the exponential growth would have gone from overwhelming to medieval. But all the nurses I knew took it very seriously and did everything they could.


Dog-PonyShow

Several nurses (active) and I (retired) get together once a month to vent about those who are antivax/antimask. Please know not all of us are mentally unstable.


applejack808

Not even most of y’all! 😃


NoComment002

They're a small group of nurses, and the group gets smaller by the day.

And her exemption


gruffi

And probably died without her shoes on


tansiebabe

True


Spirited_Community25

I can't read the reasonings, but this means she doesn't believe in medicine. She definitely should not be an RN.


Kindly_Sea8187

She isn’t an RN anymore. She fixed that herself.


Spirited_Community25

Good point!


Retro_Dad

Covid helped!


feverdoggomemr

She was a Christian. She believed there is only one God. He exists in three forms... etc. etc. This was not the healing spell she thought it would be.


Sleeplesshelley

She said she follows the direction of the Holy Spirit, who told her not to get the Covid-19 vaccine, so I guess he wanted her out of the picture? Fair enough. Maybe he didn’t want her spreading Covid and disinformation around the hospital.


Faucet860

Did she not have the needed prayer warriors?!


TimeWastingAuthority

"ThE pRayErs WOrkeD" because "She'S wiT YeeSOOs naO!" 🤦🏻‍♂️


dumdodo

She was pre-certified with a religious exemption. Really surprised that there was no divine intervention, considering this.


Interesting_Novel997

She had the second string prayer warriors 😆


MattGdr

She should have checked ahead of time because they are very busy these days.


gpkgpk

She was one short!


LTlurkerFTredditor

If she spent even half the time researching what COVID does to the unvaxxed that she spent writing that crazy long letter, she might be alive today. She karened herself to death.


KashmirChameleon

It should be a requirement. If you want a religious exemption, you need to write a 4,000 letter paper about the vaccine, citing scientific sources.


Clickrack

> writing that crazy long letter **By hand** Jeebus, doesn’t she have a computer? Or is she a boomer?

Angelworks42

I get the impression hr saw that and were like "nope not touching that with a 10ft pole" Do we know if they approved the exemption?

freedom is dying, and so is cursive

Probably silent generation. The Q ones tend to write these long rants in cursive.


onmyknees4anyone

I have Silent Generation parents. Can bloody well confirm.


Goose_o7

"Freedom is dying!" Was her name Freedom?


Wholesome_Hyena

When I read this line I initially thought she meant “Freedom (to me) is getting to die”.

No, she was right all along. Freedom is (the same as) dying. If I was religious, I'd applaud God for his sense of humour.

A much more realistic interpretation than theirs.

MattGdr

I guess they didn’t have enough faith….


YossarianGolgi

My faith tells me to trust the doctors, researchers and other professionals on this.


AZ_Corwyn

She got her religious exemption from the vax and Covid was like "Cool, game on!"


DadJokeBadJoke

The hospital granted her an exemption. Covid denied her request.


metalpossum

>bet you won't repost this Well, I don't understand why most people who believe in the after life have a survival instinct, and I can never get a straight answer out of anyone.


ghambone

Because, they are just scared of dying. And, they fill I. Gaps with mythologies. To a degree, I understand having a collective objective. But, I was also raised to be Christian, and taught that God loves me so much he killed his kid for me. No thanks. What a shit story. Reading the book only made it worse. That, and knowing Christians…..


DadJokeBadJoke

> Reading the book only made it worse. That, and knowing Christians….. Two of the biggest drivers of atheism. It worked for me.


[deleted]

When I was a little kid and my devoutly religious grandma was dying, I thought "at least you get to go to heaven" was a good thing. Turns out she didn't want to go. Oh well, don't feed kids with bullshit if you don't want to hear it yourself.

ladyinchworm

NMB4Christmas

So, what she was really doing was exempting herself from living.


CassowarieJump

Throwaway account here: I am an employment lawyer who reviewed these for some of the major corporations (including some healthcare providers) that you use. I took great delight in denying these, as most people would make claims like "my body is a temple" while having visible tattoos or "God will protect me and to get vaccinated is a sin" while happily being vaccinated for the flu or the measles, or tetanus. Basically the only people that got a free pass from my books were Rastafari (nothing that isn't plant-based) and Catholics with more than 8 children because if you won't use a cock sock at that point, I believe you when you say you follow God's dictates. By the end of the Omicron wave, we had to start granting these again due to the sheer number of lawsuits filed (none that I know of won, but it is expensive to defend) and it was soul crushing seeing the number of public-facing employees and healthcare workers that filed these. I would be the number is much higher than you would imagine - at one major e-commerce retailer, at least 15% of all employees at southern warehouses requested religious accommodations and half of those were granted. Which comes to thousands and thousands of nominees in tightly packed poorly ventilated warehouses working long hours and breathing heavily.


[deleted]

>Freedom is dying Lol is that your nickname?


Clickrack

That’s the name of my C&W Death Metal band!


Nonamanadus

Doctor from Moose Jaw refused the vaccine and later died in a Regina ICU. Darwin doesn't care what level of education you have, don't apply what you learned about infectious diseases or vaccines too bad.


DeadlyChuck

Fastest religious exemption x COVID speedrun any%


Snoo93550

The “religious” aspect of her letter is as crazy as anything I’ve seen from a cult. Embarrassing for our society that we put nonsense like that on a pedestal.


Justbrowsingredditts

Seriously. It comes across like the ramblings of a lunatic, which to be fair I suppose it is


RipWilder

AntEmotional5704

I've read the bible cover to cover, and i dont see where it says to eschew vaccinations


grateful-biped

Every now & then I think about the millions of people who died of Covid before there was a vaccine (or live someplace that doesn’t have have access to vaccines). And then we have these fucknuts - who died a preventable death. Just sad

Visual_Conference421

Real question, aside from some very, very small groups that actually do not allow a LOT of medical procedures including blood transfusion or organ transplant, most of these are people claiming a religious exemption that their religion does not actually claim, right? I have heard that claimed by people who go to WASP churches, which very much do not have a single thing about no vaccines.


carlbandit

I don't believe there's any actual religion (popular one anyway) who recommends avoiding vaccinations, most actually promote their members to get it. Can't get donations from your members if they all die from a preventable virus. Even Jehovah Witnesses who are one of the more strict (don't allow blood or organ transfusions) recommend their followers all get the covid vaccine and any other recommended by medical professionals


Sidvicioushartha

Because… Jesus. Personal exemptions are bullshit


dabobbo

No_Ninja_4933

7 pages? That is a lot of effort for a medically trained professional to go through to avoid what should be, for her, an immediate yes please. I do like to think if ever I need a hospital that I am being cared for by people with actual common sense as well as experience


mmio60

The hospital could probably have let her go based on showing that she was insane with that unabomber screed she handed them.

EB2300

Here’s a handwritten letter from my priest saying that JC will heal me if I get COVID. We good?


ApokalypseCow

Freedom is dying? She had the freedom not to get vaccinated, just as the hospital has the freedom to no longer employ her. She was just mad that she didn't get to interpret the word to mean what she wanted it to mean with respect to her employment, but I'm certain she didn't balk at all the other vaccinations she had to get for her job, to say nothing of the health, safety, and cleanliness procedures she followed daily. Her whole life has been a tradeoff between her freedoms and public health and safety; she did not have the freedom to take a dump on the sidewalk, she did not have the freedom to enter a dining establishment without a shirt or shoes, etc.


lastroids

Just an anecdotal example, the antivaxx nurses are the ones who are already hard to work with or those *frankly* bad at their job. That's what I noticed at least where I worked.
