Thanks GS that was really sweet. I am not saying being a nurse makes me super women but... working in the nursing home for 7 years takes its toll. seeing people die every week. helping them pass in comfort by giving them morphine. O and holding my pee for hours while drinking a gallon of water a day. trying to eat every 3 hours is like taking a fork full of chicken and then running to clean someones coccyx bleeding wound while yelling at my CNA's that are 2 times my age to get off their phones and clean " Ms. Brown" because she pissed all over the floor. sorry rant bad day at work. lol

I don't know how nurses do it. I hear stories about the job field and there is no way I could make it.
Having to count all your meds in a small room or on your feet all day. No time to stop.
I have been really lucky, I have had two surgeries the past couple years and the nurses that worked on me were outstanding and really sweet and funny. I don't know how they keep their composure after hearing what their day sounds like.
I have nothing but respect for a male or female nurse.
God bless providers like you! After working years in Emergency medicine and going in to nursing homes to transfer patients out, I could no longer see myself ever wanting to work in one. Good nursing home nurses are hard to come by too. So many nurses there are either burned out or just horrible to patients or horrible at their job. Burn out can play a role in the latter two though.
i bet you hated it when you went to pick someone up and the nurse was like " ummmm i dont know whats going on with the resident but the doctor wants them out. " lol i always give a good report the EMS always tell me the other homes have no clue whats going on
