I wish all the washed out tired nurses would retire.

I started a job as a nurse in a nursing home about a month ago and there are about 3-4 nurses that I take report from that are run down, negative, desensitized and really could give a rats a** about the patients. It makes me so freaking mad to hear the patients say "Oh shes so mean because she refuses to give me my PRN MOM because she says all I will do is mess all in my diapers." Just the other day, one of my patients said "My nurse would not give me my Nitroglycerin when I was having chest pain, She said I should try to tough it out. Boy did I have a terrible night." ***. I know in my heart I will never get so worn out and complacent in my job that I will treat my patients like that. I was a CNA for 14 years and had the best attitude. The nurses in my facility have been there for 15- 25+ year and are lazy, rude and just worn out. They even look Ragged. All their clothing are faded and and dull and their hair looks dull and unkept. I wish they would all retire and stop making their patients lives H***. Just my two cents, Vent is over.
Overall I really like my new job. Its tough but very doable. So much better than being a CNA and the money is great. I love my residents. When I come on they treat me like I'm the next best thing to sliced bread. One of my patients said to me "I like you because you really seem like you care." That really made my day.
