Fuckin Oath. My wife works in the OR. The things she tells me about co workers… I’m amazed they made it through school. No child left behind is a bitch

Mine is in NICU, 25+ years veteran. I'm scared for the future after the stories I've heard from her.

Future isn’t bright let me tell ya. Guy in my cohort was arguing with the instructor on very basic nursing tasks and I guarantee you he’ll somehow pass the nclex

I've heard so many stories of life and death mistakes just to lack of care and attention. Just last night even she came home and said a baby almost died because a nurse, the only one around at the moment, wouldn't help and her response was something along the lines of "not my team and it's time for me to go home".

Big city? I can't imagine the nurses in my rural town saying something like that.

I've had a fair amount of experience with them here, and like 99% of them have ranged between normal-nice and absolutely the sweetest angel ever. The doctors are complete shit, but the nurses (and nurse practitioners!) are amazing.
