From dealing with irritable patients or the patients that want to quote WebMD to you; to the unending stress for no money, these new memes are sure to brighten up your 10-minute break at the hospital and show everyone else that you should be a lot nicer to these unsung scrubbed heroes.

It was not the low pay that was distressing. It was the not enough staff to do all that *needs* to be done. The constant having to say " , I will get to you soon, " Knowing how distressed they are, but That One is dieing right now....

Nursing has been a respected position longer than you may image. The 1st nursing school was established in India all the way back in 250 B.C. And while woman now dominate this field with only 5.8 percent of U.S males in the field in 2009 the first school only allowed men.

    The first nursing in the United States was the New England Hospital and Children, established in 1862. This was the first time women were admitted to join hospital staff and medical school, with the first nursing degree class graduating in 1873. The school still exists today, known as the Dimock Community Health Center.

    As a nurse, I respected the doctors that knew to ask us nurses about their patient, before seeing the patient. The fact that they knew we were with them all the time, knew what was going on could only help them and the patient! Our assessments were spot on, and those are the doctors that asked us, what we thought. That showed respect for us and our profession, and made us feel like we mattered. Also, we saw and heard things the doctors didn’t! Patients didn’t tell them everything. Those docs knew this. The others? Swoop in , try and make us look bad, never read the charts or notes we wrote and consequently, were a******s.

    Nurses in the NICU made it so I could leave every day knowing my twins were taken care of so I could go home and spend time with my 2 year old and take a shower and get a few hours of sleep. I never worried for one second that those nurses weren't taking care of them as if they were their own. Nurses took care of my mother as she died slowly from a blood infection that went to her brain. They bathed her and fed her and changed her. Nurses have been kind and caring to me during my last 3 hospital stays, to be honest you rarely see a doctor when hospitalized. Nurses are incredibly overworked and under appreciated.

    I opened my eyes and there were five nurses in my room. One was doing something with the IV and one was on the computer connected to something on me, one was cleaning me up, one was sitting beside me near my head counting and one was by the door near the end of the bed holding a phone on the wall and her hand near a red button. I looked at the other nurse man and asked wah and he said, "There you are". I said where did I go and then they gave me the morphine to stop the pain and I slept till morning with two nurses still by my side. Thank you for saving my life. I had gone into shock or something from the calcium that was fed me by drip so now I had to take it by mouth in very small amounts . How did they know? It was the middle of the night and I was alone when I fell asleep. How did they know I was having a problem and it made the entire floor of nurses to come to my aid. I will always be great full for their know how and what and when. WOW

And that stethoscope, haha sure it’s been stolen by some other nurse 7 h ago and she’s nowhere to be seen so you have to take the old one from the office from 1995. You also look like a drugged troll, sunken eyes and messy hair. And you don’t even know if you smell like urine or if it’s just stuck in your nose. 😅

    Some nurses even work in prisons. In 1976 the Supreme Court ruled that prisoners had a constitutional right to health care - enter the correctional nurse. Just like the hospital this comes with risks, but despite what you think not from the prisoners. Correctional nurse Lorry Schoenly says that, "It's safer to work as a nurse in a prison than a nurse in an emergency room," explaining, "The bad guys wear color-coded clothes." Schoenly even states the patients are more appreciative,"Many of them are so happy to get services behind bars."

    Yep. I always loved it, when the new, 4year degree, BS nurses would Co e in, and we 2 year nurses were the ones training them! The difference is mainly administrative knowledge, and things like that. They don’t get as much time doing actual patient care and problem solving. Yet, the degree gotthem more money. I went in to nursing to take care of people, and help heal them. Not to progress up the power ladder! Never had an interest to be anything else, but a nurse that did direct patient care. Saving lives mattered, not who was who and how much they made, and wanted their job. I just wanted to do the work, and care... saving lives, is a passion, not being a paper pusher.

    There is the industry standard (drilled in school), then the corporate (hospital/medical group) expectation, then individual manager (charge nurse/doctor) practice. It is important to know the practices of your work place, and implement them. If anything is outdated or dangerous to the patient, then you need to address that through the proper channels.

    I badly broke my wrist in a motorcycle accident when I was 24. As I was lying in the trauma ward, the surgical intern, who had probably been on shift for 14+ hours, explained my x-ray by saying "Your knuckles are here. They're supposed to be over here."

    That is something that annoys me. The tech knows what things look like, generally, and can give a rough guess as to what things look like instead of us having to wait days for a radiologist to look at it and then contact our personal doc and then for them to contact us(and it's usually the nurse anyways). *sigh*

    Some nurse once told me if I could move it, it wasn't broken. By the time I got my pinky checked by a doctor, it would have had to be rebroken to have a chance of getting it straight again. Never could play the piano quite right again. But this was in a psychiatric hospital so things might be different.

    A report from the Journal of Advanced Nursing found that newly licensed nurses work 12-hour shifts, close to half work overtime and more than one in 10 have a second job. And while a 12-hour shift may not seem like a lot to those in the medical community, nurses in Saudi Arabia would disagree. In the Middle East country nurses can unofficially work only 8-hours of their 12-hour shift - sorry patients you're on your own.

    I'm a pretty big anti-antivaxx person, but sometimes the patient does know more than the doctor. Like when I've had a condition twice as long as she's been a doctor, it's supposedly 1 in 100,000. They say the name in Med school and go about the next, more important disease! Even the older neurologists I've seen don't really know much about it. So going in knowing something, most things, about my condition is being a good advocate for myself, and possibly others thatmight have it.

    I used to have frequent upper respiratory infections. If it got too bad, I would go to the ER. I would tell them I needed a breathing treatment. They would give me one and treat my other symptoms. One day, a new doctor fussed at me, telling me I didn't know what I needed; I was the patient, he was the doctor; he would decide what I needed. Then he asked what my symptoms were and gave me a breathing treatment. I thought that was very rude, but then I heard his interaction with the next patient. A lady was arguing with him, telling him she didn't want antibiotics for her infection because she had read online that they will build up in your body and kill you. She went on to tell him that she was using essential oils because of an article she read online. He explained why essential oils would not work and if she didn't take the antibiotics, she would probably die. She still argued with him.

    Just to put it out there, they do make a percocet without the tylenol. My mom is prescribed them from her pain management doctor. She can't have tylenol because she has Hep C and tylenol messes with your liver, if you take too much, and having Hep C, which also affects the liver, she don't need the tylenol. I believe the brand name is Roxycodone, which is just the oxycodone.

    The Tylenol makes it Percocet. And unless things have changed since I worked in a pharmacy, the name brand Roxycodone wasn't available in Missouri, but oxycodone, the active ingredient in both Roxy and Percocet, is available, and is lovingly called the hill billy heroin because of all of the abuse.

    Sometimes people have an unrelated reaction while on a med, and assume it was the med. They might not be being stupid, just ignorant. I am actually allergic to things and the doctor tries to give it to me anyways. I've had nurses save my life when a doctor insisted I didn't know what I was talking about with my allergies. One nurse in my local hospital yelled at the doctor saying, "She's not lying. I was on duty when she had a reaction to that!" I am so grateful she spoke up for me. I probably wouldn't have died that time, but the reaction is no fun.

    I told three people before outpatient surgery that I had a bad reaction to codeine and Tylenol didn't agree with me. So, they sent me home with a prescription for a combo of codeine and Tylenol (I don't remember what it was called). Didn't now until I got home and googled it. Had to go back to hospital for unrelated reason and said I couldn't take what they gave me. They gave me a different prescription. Went home and googled it. It was codeine and aspirin. So, I just took ibuprofen.

    I hate it when that happens. You're already sick/unwell and you have to go back to get the right meds. I'm allergic to penicillin. It says on all my charts not to give me penicillin. I go to the pharmacy with my prescription and they ask me why I'm getting such-and-such a medication; it has penicillin in it. Darn-it, doc! My pharmacy calls the doctor and gets them to fax something else over, but then I have to sit there and wait or come back later.

    But, wait--is it a GOOD thing if the difficult patient likes you? Or is that saying something about you? [Said in jest. When I get along well with a real asshat, coworkers will joke "takes one to know one".]

    That was my speciality. The trick is to LISTEN to them, really listen. And, to reinstill their trust. Most are afraid, but ashamed to show it so they become problem patients. Therefore, nurses avoid dealing with them and don't really want to go into their room to be verbally abused by them. This creates more distrust and more fear. You start with giving them extra attention, answering their call light ASAP, getting their pain meds quickly so they know you care that they hurt, and after a couple or three shifts, they are a whole new person!

    Family members that actually help by giving us information about the patient that is useful = awesome. Family members that try to debate treatments with stuff they “learned” in a Facebook group of conspiracy theorists = the worst.

    Have hospitals print this out and hang them on every wall. So Nurses can point to it, smile and go home.

    I was in the hospital five times last year. It is a running joke between nurses and patients that if you need rest, the last place you will get it is the hospital.

    The look you give as a Paramedic bearing end of shift, decide it's safe to go get a restaurant breakfast and the waitress says "oh it must have been a quiet night if you have time to come in for breakfast" . Go ahead, sit in the truck because here comes that call.

    I remember that I once had a class that was often very chaotic, but one day I remember we were all being quiet for once. One of the teachers said "It's very quiet in here.. a little too quiet.".. one of the kids starting banging on the desk.
