Don't take it to heart. We are taking about a man and his little girl. Besides think of it from a layman's point of view---- DR. nurse Who gets more respect? You and I both know who really runs the show and it ain't the MD.

I believe NS take class on how to rude. Someone should tell them that being rude will get them no where. Now and not in the future. If they feel the need to be rude and hateful--- I will never go in extra if they call.

I've been a nurse for only 6 years and I live it (96% of the time). I grew up with multiple family members in the healthcare field. My mother works at a long term care facility and I use to go to work with her on Sat. mornings and help make beds and pass H2O. So I went into this with my eyes wide open. I'm a major extravert so one of my biggest challenges is simple--- keep most of my opinions to myself. I want to go to work and take care of my patients and not have to deal with or worry about the politics. With 6 years under my belt, I considered one of the "old dogs". I've seen more and more seasoned nurses move out of the hospital and on to other areas or an other career al together. As far as my view of people---oh yeah it's changed. There are those who are the best, they are nice and go out of their way to help. Then there are those who are simply rude and lazy. (No matter where you go or what you do there will always be both types of people). How to handle burn out? Easy! LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH. At yourself, with your coworkers and yes even with or about the patients. I cannot tell you about one memorable patient because I have more than one for different reasons.--------- The first DNR patient that I had who died on my shift The one that told me I was the nicest nurse he had My patient that coded and had to have his chest cracked open in the room Th A&O 102 year old lady with CHF my point is certain patients and certain situations standout
