She said the best thing about covid are the limited 15 minute visits and no pop in by loved ones. They schedule a time in advance, get a heads up from the front desk which gives them enough time to stop playing solitaire and get off Amazon Prime and check to see how the patient is. Most of the time they literally did 15 minutes of work under the guise of fear of covey.

I have some nurses in my family that work ER and are great nurses but they tell everyone how bad it is and all but they never say these are the usual suspects, the obese people who abuse their bodies and minds and are in the ER several times a year and they don't have insurance.
Yes they have covid and it is bad but they are sickely to begin with but when I present that information they have the perfectly health 55 year old who gets in and dies. End of conversation. Thanks Wolf 22
Some of us are good. Some of us aren't. Pretty much like any profession.
I am as much of a "hero" as anyone going to work any job.
Same here. Nursing has me doing stuff most people don't want to mess with, but I'm not unfairly compensated. The need for attention is pathetic.
Exactly
Idk, nurse as a profession, imo, just like LE, has to be held to a higher than any other profession standard. I've met some nurses that were straight-up evil and would brag about being abusive. (Same with cops.) I've never met, say, an IT pro (my trade), or a building contractor, or a plumber, or a bus driver that would brag about being an ass to his customers.
I know programers and IT people that are assholes to be assholes.
Like I said every profession has good and bad people.
No, you don't.
You're an idiot if you think there aren't any jerks in IT or programming.
>You're an idiot
Found that exact same "nurse" that is the topic of this same conversation. How quickly it is revealed!
I've met plenty of nurses like this. Such heroes. 🙄
This is nothing new...been happening in hospitals long before COVID became a word.
They sound like the dancing type.
Night shift people are a special breed.
I've had to do it and it sucked. Sure you work less, but you are also basically out of society.
I'll not criticize them because to me it is the hardest shift available.
Nah my sister works night shifts and only works 3 days a week. She then spends the next 4 days being out in society. Zero sympathy for the night shift crew.
Too each their own I suppose.
There is a reason though you see the people that have seniority guarantee themselves a dayshift instead of taking the alleged easy night shift.
Do they start out as senior employees?
It's all theater to perpetrate a lie. Fuck medical professionals.
Well, I observed nurses just chatting with each other, and fooling with their phones, and when I asked for some quiet was told I was disrespecting them. Guess the race.
Useless fucks
Interesting. Not sure where your friend works, most places don’t allow visitors after 10 p.m. This has been an awful year, to be sure!
She choose this shift to avoid visitors, supervisors, etc,
For sure! There are no supervisors on nights.
I've seen it first hand how lazy these people are. I worked in the ER and 99% of the time they were playing cell phone games, shoving their fat faces behind the nursing station, Openly mocking and making fun of patients, and pretty much have the underpaid nursing aides do all their work for them.
They would respond to a major code thank God, but I couldn't believe how fucking lazy these people were.
One of the many things the plandemic has taught me is to lose any respect I had for healthcare workers. If they're tired, it's from patting themselves on the back constantly.
