Pharmacist! I would put up with standing in a box in Walmart for 150K a year counting pills!

:angryfire Ohh I'm so irritated today. Today was one of "those" shifts...the kind you dread. I'm especially frustrated with the way patients/families treat us nurses, and the administration that encourages such behavior. There is absolutely no more respect in this "customer service" focused society. People want everything right now....no matter what. Today I had some real doozies. The family of one guy was killing me. They were literally barking orders at me like I was a short-order cook. They constantly wanted drinks, food, blankets...for themselves! We were told recently by management that taking care of the family is part of our job, and we were to comply in any way we can -- so yep, I have to make rounds to bring drinks/trays/snacks to entire families now. I'm literally waiting on able-bodied 19 year olds who have an inkling for a Coke. Nevermind a patient next door is circling the drain....Junior needs some ice for the drink he brought in pronto! I'm just so sick of this I contemplate quitting at least a dozen times a day! Anyone else feel this way!?
