Highlights

If you don't work in those units you have absolutely no right to say those nurses are not overworked. You have no fricking idea what they have to deal with on a daily basis.

Shut. The frick. Up. You don't know what you're talking about. Nurses in most places are overworked. There are always lulls in work, however, and time to have fun before getting back into the thick of it. Nurses have had to work while covid positive themselves (in covid wings), with not enough PPE, underpaid, working long hours. Nurses are leaving their jobs in droves leaving behind too few who are expected to do as much if not more than a fully staffed nursing staff. We're in the middle of a fricking global pandemic, and you're trying to talk shit on the people that are actually trying to take care of the population? Of course, not all are great people, but the work is incredibly honorable and intense, especially right now.

Waah i had to work overtime a little pity me

Well thats certainly not true. There are so many more complicated aspects of nursing that you don't understand unless you take the classes for it. Nursing classes. Not high school bio. Give me a fricking break you don't even know what you're talking about.

As someone who was recently in hospital (recent enough to have clear memory) i can assure you all the nurses did was clean me up and pass gauze around.

Lots of people on here having opinions on the field of nursing and nurses specifically when they are not a nurse nor have they talked to a nurse to see what the frick they're dealing with in the last two years.

Why would i talk to a nurse?

Yeah, comments here are pretty disappointing. The Pepperidge farm one about nurses doing tiktok dances is stupid. Because apparently having a moment to do something other than watch people die isn’t allowed.

Plus, they might have practiced the choreography during their time off.

Lol cope

I'm in healthcare. Yeah, this is true. Mostly in hospital settings with the newer generation of nurses. They grew up watching grey's anatomy and are constantly looking for drama. They like to hate on annoying patients more than understand them. They are usually from well off families too and tend to be conventionally attractive and have decent social media followings. American healthcare had a lot of problems...

Well if that isn't a gross generalization, I don't know what is.

If we want more or better nurses just match politician wages to nursing, not like they can say it's less important. You're welcome

Registered Nurses get paid, on average, $77,500 a year in the U.S. I don't think they're strapped for cash lmfao.

My girlfriend gets offered $80 an hour when they're busy. It's crazy. Like I'm happy for nurses but darn I chose the wrong profession

Heres a hilarious exchange with all the usual redditisms

Nurses are what people become when they don't know to do with their life tbeh

what is the navy?

Thank you Alex, I’ll take the correct versions of this guy’s moronic takes for 2000

I literally work in the hospital, and have got 5 years. I promise you I know more nurses than you have ever met or read about. This is very common knowledge inside of the hospital

No honey, no you don’t. I teach nursing. Go frick yourself

Yes honey I do, and I've worked in a magnet hospital the entire time.So either you're lying or you've vastly over estimated how hard it is. I've done neuro icu, and psych. I taught new nurses trach care, and how to even out an end, and have been talking down patients for long enough to know where nurses come from and why they've come from it. Not to mention 90% of the nurses that I've met outside of the icu are so dumb they can't spell their names.

Lmao

Ofc Reddit is mad about people telling embarrassing stories ANONYMOUSLY. Who the frick cares?

What is confidentiality?

Think what you want, they vent about their patients or they suffer an aneurism and burn out. Nobody is meant to deal with the magnitude of bullshit that they do on a consistent basis.

"I need to keep making tiktoks or i'll have an aneurysm"

It’s SO disheartening how little respect nurses get. It doesn’t matter how much study we’ve done, where we practice, how competent we are. In the end all we get is “you’re too dumb to be a doctor” or “you just carry out orders”, like we’re mindless drones. And the anti-vax nurses have made it 10 times worse for the rest of us, who believe in science and DO think critically, and DO follow or even carry out research. The majority of nurses I work with have their masters, some have their PhD’s, some have multiple degrees in both nursing and chemistry/physics, whatever. It simply does not matter, we are all collectively labelled dumb. I’m sorry to rant, and this is obviously just my opinion, but I’m so over it. I’m at the end of my tether being a nurse. I’m actively looking to get out of it, mostly because people treat you like a trained monkey.

Be less dumb
