People Share Popular Misconceptions About Their Jobs, And The Nurse One Is Sad

This is so true....

I am proof positive. I'm a software developer, and I like to think a good one. I'm now a "lead" developer, meaning I lead other developers and quality assurance people on projects. (Not a manager, but still a leadership role.) I'm terrible at it (and I hate it most days). I just want to write code.

Especially when ur boss ignore all the good work u done in ur job scope and focus all the issues in u managing other people work and make it sounds like other people problem is ur problem

wait, you're NOT all sexy? well sorry, but saving lives and healing the sick is pretty sexy in my book.

This is sad. The nursing at the cardiac care unit at Anderson Mercy Hospital in Anderson township Ohio made me feel like I was the most important person on the planet.

You listed what insurance paid, skipping nurses. That's the biggest mistake insurance companies can make! I went into the hospital with C. diff and five days later had 3 "cardiac episodes", meaning cardiac arrest they told me last. I ended up in ICU for 11 days or so, and then in skilled nursing/ rehab the last 9. If it hadn't been for the nurses, especially in ICU, I'm not sure if I'd be healed now, and it's been over a year and a half ago!! So from me to you, and all other nurses out there, THANK YOU!!! You do more than anyone else!

Nursing profession is being ruined. There is a Global shortage of nurses because of issues in the profession. For example: I worked in a rough bar for years, I saw less violence, had less violence directed at me, felt safer, was more supported by my managers, had less sexual harassment/groping and had with tips almost the same pay. I always go my breaks too. Unless you can handle being assaulted, sexually harassed(by patients and visitors), gropped, blamed for everything by everyone even complaints that are not part of your job duties or responsibilities, not having your overtime paid nor being able to be paid for unpaid breaks not taken and worked through, impossible to actually follow your nursing standards and responsibilities, be able to put patients first & zero actual support if assaulted or seriously hurt at work.....if you can't handle that...don't become a nurse in Canada.

Why I left nursing.

Do people not go to libraries? Our community library plays a big role in the community.

I love the library.

Librarians absolutely exist and are working on ways to better organize your digital libraries/collections (after finding the best way to digitize them in the first place) and make them user-friendly!

It is fine, living in the country with most libraries per capita.

Yes, I saw one the other night on Jeopardy and he was really really smart! He's their best customer, I'm sure.

I'm a programmer. If anything goes wrong with my personal laptop, or when I needed to do something special on my computer, I get my son over to the house to help me. He's a parkour instructor. I use a computer to program computers. I really don't like being an end-user, and have no interest. (Also, I'm lazy and love it when my son comes over.) In a meeting recently, I couldn't get my laptop to display on the big video screen. A guy in the meeting (QA guy) said (rather critically, I thought), "You'd think a developer could figure out these things...." ahhh, such a misunderstanding. I write software. I don't fix hardware.

XD My boyfriend is a programmer, and when I brought him home for the first or second time, my mom asked him if he could help her figure out why her computer and printer wouldn't connect to each other. He was just like "Uuuhhhh"

LOL My husband is a professor of computer science but he knows nothing about day to day computing. That's my job and I have my PhD in Instructional Technology LOL

Yes, and we do all we can to let it work. Sometimes we do not know how, but we solve the problem.

Common sense and not being intimidated by tech are the main difference between those who ask and those who are asked. https://xkcd.com/627/

Sadly enough that does not only count for pictures...

I have used deviantART over 12 years and I have fought agains art thieves very much. They often have very ridiculous explanations why it is OK to post other people's work as their own. Last week for example one person thought it was OK to post copyrighted photos to her gallery only because she had written some Bible quotes on them. When I told that person that it still was not OK to use someone else's pictures even though they had edited them that person just thought that I hate her because she was a Christian and I was a sinner. :/

YEEES! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! THIIIIIIIIS!!!!!!! I'm a photographer and this happens all the time!

*chuckles nervously*

Says you!

Listen to scientists and don't vote for Trump

interesting fact, an ice age is defined when both polar caps are covered in ice, like now. so we're in an ice age (technically), from what I can gather the caps have been freezing then melting then freezing etc etc on loop, the issue is that we've dramatically sped things up this time around.

NASA most recently state that ice losses from Antarctica have tripled since 2012. This link is to an article from June 2018. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/ramp-up-in-antarctic-ice-loss-speeds-sea-level-rise. Oh, I'm not American so my voting only effects the drivel in charge of the UK.

I see it more as a question of how much is man made and how much is natural due to the evidence of such natural changes. Currently I would say most is man made.

This is ridiculous. Why on earth would I believe anyting scientists are saying about climate change when politicians are clearly the experts.

I certainly wouldn’t ask you for marriage advice if you were married 5 times though. Just as I wouldn’t go to a dentist who doesn’t have any teeth.

This is good to know. I bet tons of people dont know what you do.
