    It’s sad. Most people go into healthcare because we all genuinely want to help people. The jobs have their pros and cons like every other job, but the cons feel like they drown out the pros sometimes. I’m 29 but me and my coworkers and friends, are all so burnt out. I feel like I hate people more than ever some days.

Took me longer to get a job but they pay out and not having actually deal with patients, is definitely a plus.

      Nurses are always heroes. Have been for all time. And if hospitals were run by caring, considerate people (not mega millionaire psychopaths), then working conditions would be more bearable. Shorter shifts. More breaks. Better pay. Making the environment more enjoyable, etc. But they understaff and overwork to line their own pockets. Unfortunate for ALL and more dangerous to patients. But that's capitalism.

    This is why when my grandmother was in the hospital I did what I could to help the nurses. I'd clean the room while I was there and did a lot of the minor things like gave my grandmother baths, changing her, go through my grandmothers meds to ensure her they were right so she'd wouldn't argue with them and always asked what else I could do and did it. Sometimes I'd hear the nurses during shift change "you get room 412 but I'm going to be popping in there too, I like that room" or they would to "YAY I get 412!"
    Then they would walk in like "heyyyyy granny! you got me again tonight! ya need anything?" Then look at me and go "did you eat today? I know you've been here all day with your grandmother, make sure you eat" They became like an extended family lol

      *How is teachers telling students about sex identity and sexuality comparable to literal abuse and neglect!?*
      Seriously! Why are you focussing on something like that, which probably isn‘t as bad as it‘s seen seeing how in the same spirit a book was banned from school that had a gay penguin couple just being romantic parents. Since this apparently isn‘t because the penguins are gay, shall we now ban every kids medium that has something romantic in there? Shall we ban the Disney classics like beauty and the beast, lion king, and snow white from schools, because there is always at least one love relationship in there? Restricting teachers from talking about sex identity and sexuality is done in exactly the same spirit as the book bannings, and distracts from and creates problems rather than fixing ones like those mentioned in the original comment.
      Sorry for the rant and turning things completely political. I won‘t answer to any heated political comments, since I get the urge to throw up imagining a long hyperpolitical hateful discussion under a steveioe skit. So use this chance to debunk me and put some people at ease. To make this comment now as hypocritical as possible, I say (and definitely mean it), that I‘d commence in tolerant calm discussion though.

    As someone with MANY ER, ICU, and regular hospital stays; treat the staff like humans. They really want and love helping people. I have had a nurse on their last day, it was not “happy” in a traditional sense. I’ve had people on my care team who transferred from ER to something else. You have a right to be upset if you genuinely are not getting the care you require, but the team needs a little care too.

    I’ll never forget how kind the nurses in the ICU were when my grandma was there. My whole family and I were having to make the decision of either letting her go (she was intubated and couldn’t breath on her own) OR to put in a trach which would necessitate around the clock care. I remember being so ANGRY at my grandpa because he firmly said “she told me she didn’t want to be intubated and she’s already been like this for almost a week….we can’t let her suffer like this.” I was selfish and wasn’t ready to live without her and it took me awhile to remember that it’s what’s best for HER that’s important. I basically had a mini mental breakdown in the hallway and one of the nurses caressed my shoulders and didn’t even say a word. She knew there was nothing she could say, but she brought me so much comfort in that moment just by showing concern and empathy. God bless all nurses. ❤
