    More like “how do you find a moment to catch your breath and let your brain reset after you worked through your breaks, haven’t gotten to use the bathroom, and feel like you’re going to punch your patient in the face if they bitch about not getting a hot meal at 11:30pm.”

        Ya dude. It’s like, I hate when I’m watching football, and I see some of the players sitting on the bench between plays. Lazy fucks.

            Soccer players just gotta run around a lot.

            Football players don’t run very much, but they spend a lot of time getting slammed by and pinned between refrigerator-sized humans running remarkably fast for their build and amount of padding.

        Keep in mind that nursing is a four year bachelor’s degree. There are other options, but the four year degree is most common in the US. That means many nurses chose their profession when they were just out of high school. Nursing being a stable, well paid, and highly in demand career is something that everyone hears about. Blaming nurses for taking that to heart and pursuing it as a career is questionable at best.

        Yeah if there’s one thing the world needs less if, it’s those selfless pricks working themselves to the bone in understaffed, underpaid, and underappreciated (yet totally necessary) licensed professions.

        Let’s get mad at teachers for having the week “off” this week, too. They don’t need paid time off, what do they need money for? Pencils? Hah!
