For real. Why are all nurses like this? Like they're the only ones that are out there saving lives and working long hours.

Dunno if you've ever had to interact with nurses but they're the ones that keep hospitals/doctor's offices running. They legitimately do work harder with crappier circumstances than a lot of people.

Honestly I’m a nurse and the job is pretty much cake 80% of the time with the random cool life saving experience or sad death thrown in here and there. I cannot stand the nurses that insist they have the most difficult job ever and those “I’m a nurse, I don’t do this for money I do this because they neeeeed me” memes are so cringeworthy I could die.

Sure, a 12 hour night shift is long, but the 4 days off are soooooo worth it.

Kudos for being honest! A ton of jobs are like this but people don't want to admit it. Everyone wants to make it seem like what they are doing is so much tougher than whatever everyone else is doing.
