Really who needs a bigger pat on the back for doing their job? Who posts more about how much they matter and makes a bigger difference? Nurses or teachers?
Nurses do, from what I've seen ...but I know very few teachers. I have always found dolphins to be very smug, as well. You should have included them in your poll.

Medical interns. They are just dying for a nurse to call them Dr. And for someone to screw up so they can step in and sore how awesome they are.
Apparently professional trolls need attention as well.
I just want my paycheck...nothing else! You, however seem very angry.Let people be who they are and if they need a pat on the back and some recognition I do not see anything wrong with that!
I agree. OP, you do seem unduly upset by "martyr nurses". You've started multiple threads on the topic. Why do they bother you so much?
I'm no fan of the phenomenon either but I solve that by not reading blogs/Facebook etc. where they complain about their struggles and perceived sacrifices.
I think that during the majority of shifts not taking bathroom and meal breaks is a choice, and a poor one. That said, nursing can still be tough. In many specialties nurses witness a lot of human suffering and often meet people at their worst time, so yes the job can take its toll on a nurse's health/well-being. That's why I think that it's extra important to focus on good, happy and constructive things during your time off, instead of dwelling on negatives and stressors.
