The secret of a fulfilling nursing career

[Major Nurse 1]

Accepting our fate is the key.An ass remains an ass even if it changes location:

It is imperative that nurses stop the complaining and face reality. From nursing school we were already informed that we nurses are asses that will bear the burden of care and other members of the IDT will just walk along. Why are we now complaining as though we don't know we are asses. No matter what change you make you will still remain an ass. Whenever you accept a nursing job look at your job description and you will discover you are an ass. Whether you run to dialysis, you remain an ass. An ass will always remain an ass as long as it was born an ass. So long as you remain a nurse, you remain an ass. Carry all the burden of care where ever you are. No complaining. A wise man said, " A lizard in Africa does not become an alligator in America" No matter the sector of nursing you run to you still remain an ass. Meditate 2000x over when you are at work saying to yourself, "I am an ass" then you will never burnout.

A box of wine will keep for a couple of weeks. I find that if I have a box of wine, I drink just one glass and put the wine away. If I open a bottle, we drink the whole thing. And then I usually am too tipsy to share my "deep thoughts" with anyone except my husband, who isn't listening anyway. I'm against wine in a bottle.

Well, Ruby ....you are a good defender of wine in a box. Perhaps I should turn my attention to wine in a bottle.
