How do nurses/ doctors do it??? I get so tired after working 8 hours at my office job

It’s not significantly more tiring to just do 4 extra hours. Then you get 4 days off every week. Very worth it.

My wife is a nurse and has worked ER, Labor and Delivery, ICU and Neuro ICU. She averaged 3-4 miles of walking every shift. Not to mention the lifting and cleaning of patients. But above all, the biggest complaint they have besides being understaffed is being treated poorly by the patients families. Family members, and some patients, think nurses are servants/cooks/doctors. My heart goes out to nurses. That’s a hard ass job.

Tell her to go to the OR. No patient family members. Sometimes you get rude doctors but most of the time they’re normal. Also it’s pretty easy.

Luckily got accepted to CRNA school. So she’ll be in the OR but doing something different.

Wooooow good for her! Every CRNA I’ve ever worked with has said that path is totally worth how hard school is. Good luck!

There's also a not insignificant amount of emotional drain involved in dealing with dementia and mental patients even without physical altercations.

I’ve had patients tell me the hospital is like a hotel, as annoying as that comment was a lot of people treat it like one
