> The helping professions—occupations like therapy, social work, and nursing—have increasingly drifted from their traditional roles as carers and embraced social-justice advocacy. These fields have long leaned left and female, but the skew has recently intensified, following broader trends in academia. Progressives now vastly outnumber conservatives, creating an echo chamber that has radicalized a segment of the workforce.
In other words get ready for nurses and medical “professionals” to start giving selective healthcare to individuals once they find out their backgrounds and based solely on political affiliations.
Thank God there’s still at least a few sane medical people out there who don’t give a flying rip about who someone is and uphold the hypocratic oath.

Because it’s all about the feels and caring for someone, nurturing them back to health. You know, the motherly instinct that goes unfulfilled…

I don’t see anything in this article that shows polling info on the political leanings of nurses. A lot is assumed because of the NNU, which is a union — unions generally are more left than their membership. NNU also represents about 20% of the nurses in the country, so even if the folks in it were as far to the left as the leadership, that still doesn’t mean much about the political leanings of nurses as a whole.

Your premise is suspect with no data to support it.
Unions lean left. Any union data will be biased that direction.
Sample size of one, my daughter is an ER nurse. She’s at least as conservative as I am, maybe more so. She also has a concealed carry permit and drives a giant pickup truck.
