re: If nurses across the US simply got paid more then we wouldn’t have a nursing shortage

Nursing school is hard. And honestly we need more males in the profession, so welcome!

Laziness is everywhere. My biggest ick with nurses are those who spend more time on their phones than actually taking care of their pts. This is especially problematic with younger nurses in their early 20’s.

But I’m an old hag nurse who grew up in the days when we stood up when MD’s rounded and did paper charting.

I learned a whole lot from physicians who chewed my arse in my younger years when I did something stupid. Rather than get butthurt abt it, I considered how I could do better and become a better nurse for my pts.

I’ve made it a point to always remain teachable because there is always something new to learn.
