[quote=Anonymous]OP, here's my take as a long-time SAHM/WOHM about women in the nursing profession: they can tend to come off aggressively opinionated,T ype A controlling, critical, judgmental, far too blunt consider we are not friends yet, and sometimes condescending.

I've met a number of "nurse moms" over the years at the playground, events, in my neighborhood, etc. They ask a question, and I answer. Their response can be some form of: why would you do it that way? I do it [whatever it is] this way, which is the right way, I don't know why anyone would do it your way.

My kid is in high school, and I recently met a fellow mom at an event. Polite chit chat like you do. Within two minutes, she says flatly, "I'm a nurse." She doesn't ask what I do. We keep talking, I mention something about my kid, and she seizes on it. Why would you do it that way? I do it [whatever it is] this way, which is the right way, I don't know why anyone would do it your way.

Sigh. It only took about ten minutes to get there, too. It can be exhausting, and offputting, to be around this type of mom. Nurses often have this personality type for some reason. Maybe something valuable to know, OP.[/quote]
