Or the variation: "Not everyone is cut out for this profession." They say it like they're being kind. Like they're doing you a favor. They're not. In this fired-up episode, Jon Haws exposes the most weaponized phrase in nursing education—and teaches you exactly how to fight back. You'll learn: → What "not cut out for nursing" ACTUALLY means (spoiler: it's not about you) → Who gets told this (hint: students who ask questions, need accommodations, or don't fit the mold) → Why this phrase is designed to make you quit before they have to document failure → How to respond in the moment without burning bridges → The exact questions to ask that expose their bias → Why documenting everything protects you later → How to find allies who will actually help you succeed
