Assaults on nurses are at an all time high.
What kind of prick would assault a nurse (regardless of gender)? I mean, I understand if the nurse was asking for it (they’re still people, and people suck) but if that was all that was going on, it wouldn’t be at an all time high!
I can also understand if the patient wasn’t in control of his faculties and thought the nurse was a bear or something. But some of these people are getting smacked around by ‘stressed out’ friends and family.
That is bullshit. How are these patients expected to survive with no nurses? Nurses give meds, feed, wash, test, and do countless other things to keep patients alive and comfortable. And when they have to do something unpleasant they don’t exactly enjoy it, but it’s for your own good.
I am starting to rant, and at the risk of becoming an angsty blog* I’ll finish up by saying nurses deserve more money.
* Sorry Will, but you totally asked for it buddy. 🙂
