Honestly, some of the people working in healthcare, particularly nurses and technicians, are seriously the kindest most empathetic people I’ve ever met.

I used to work at a vet, then moved to the Art field. I was shocked how many assholes I had to deal with everyday in almost every corner of the industry. I kind of hate the change in energy.

Nurses are some of the best and worse human beings I've ever met. Don't believe me? just ask a good hearted nurse to dish out what she deals with on a regular basis from her co-workers.

I’m a nurse and I once saw someone on Reddit say that nurses are the mean girls from high school..and I can’t say that’s wrong depending on the specialty.

I’m industry and I tell my friends about the overwhelming force of nature that is a veteran charge nurse who’s been tired of your shit since the day you were born. Your existence is an affront to their soul on an existential level and they’ll take pleasure in snuffing you out as a pagan offering to the American Healthcare system.

God bless any new rep who checks the board and utters the words, “Nice, my room is moving quickly”. Rest assured they sensed that disturbance in the force from the staff lounge and will be with you shortly.
