Do you think a nurse's job is hard or easy?

Question

Don't hurt yourself.
All bleeding stops.
Don't lose your cool.
Everybody has to die sometime.
You can't hurt a dead man.
Never yell at the nurses (refer to Rule #1.)
Don't get excited about blood loss-unless it's your own.
Don't hit patients or doctors-unless necessary.
SEX isn't everything, but it's a hell-of-a-long-way ahead of anything that's second.
The patient will be all right if he is okay.
The pain will go away when it stops hurting.
Do what's right.
All fevers will eventually come back to normal on the way to room temperature.
There's always time sometime.
Common things are common.
A strawberry by any other name would be a heart with acne.
Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
If nothing has gone wrong, you've obviously don't understand the situation.
He who turns to run away must first sign out AMA.
If you can keep your head among all this confusion, you obviously don't understand the situation.
Uncommon manifestations of common diseases are more common than are uncommon diseases.
Death is a severe stage of shock, or shock is a pause in the act of dying.
It doesn't matter what you do as long as it's right.
WHY am I here?
It sure feels good when it quits a "hurtin."
It looks more like it does now than it did.
In medicine, always remember never to say always and never.
In case of emergency call Dr. Wonderful or Earl.
All bleeding is gross.
If you can't see it, it's probably not there.
Don't vomit on the doctor!
Remember, "Toast always falls jelly-side down."
P.I.D. doesn't stand for "pink in dere."
If a patient has a catheter ---he needs it.
We've got to find those "two dudes" and stop them.
Everyone gets treated exactly the same in here ---until he pisses you off.
The pit is a mixture of can do, can't do, and why the hell not!
To be right is only half the battle; to convince the patient is more difficult.
Always do whatever you do best.
Remember, the problem is always better than the X-ray looks.
I was better, but I got over it."

Answer 1

I did it for years and it is a difficult job but OMG it was so rewarding....

Answer 2

Being a nurse of any description is one who does long hard
physical work with patients who can be sweet as lambs or
hard nosed and tough old birds LOL. Recently I was in the
hospital and observed the jobs where people were on the
run the most. It was the practical nurses and then the 'helpers'
who were in training to be practical nurses. They were on
the move constantly, and I hardly ever saw them back at the
nurses station if I looked across the hall.
One RN who had been promoted to manager of that wing,
was also put to work due to a short staff. And she told me
nothing was beneath her, if a patient needed attention or
help in some way. She even emptied a bedpan or two while
I was there. And she was wearing a suit and heels while she
was assisting me and another patient. I was very impressed.
She told me she'd been an RN for 32 years. And she still
looked young and attractive. I couldn't believe what I saw!
She was overly dedicated and proved it.

Answer 3

I think that a nurse's job is hard. Everyday nurse's run into all types of people. Some people want special treatment and get treated like royalty. I know that in the ER Emergncy is one of the longest and stressful days in the hospital. If, you are a nurse on the floor that is some hard stuff to go through. Most people have told be that being a nurse is like being a maid, except that you get paid more. The nurse's that do only paper work have it made, that is the best job to have if you don't want to be bothered with people. LPN's work very hard, and don't always get paia a lot depending on where you work. RN's get paid pretty good. You have to really like your job a lot to be a nurse.

Answer 4

I worked for 12 years in nursing. It is a hard demanding job but rewarding at the same time. when we finished our shift we would realize we hadn't had a washroom break and rush home. Our legs would ache from being on a slow run all day. Grab something to eat and go to bed and get up and start all over the next day. My feet hurt all the time and the pay back then wasn't much. I had wanted to be a nurse as long as I could remember, but when we adopted our daughter in 1975 I retired for good. I used to joke and say I wish I could go back to work for a rest because being a mom of a baby was hard work and no sleep.

Answer 5

a nurses job is rather hard considering you cannot make a mistake at any time during a serious moment but if you like the job it is always worth taking it as it is a good job.the only problem is the pay for a nurse is not the greatest in the world.

Answer 6

A nurse's job is very hard and they do have so much and so many to take care of. My mom and late mother-in-law were nurses and my sister-in-law is one now. Bless all the nurses for the wonderful work they do.

Answer 7

I think it's HARD.
I actually have just as much--if not more--respect for nurses than doctors. Nurses have to deal with the human element (not just the patient element), and they do a thankless job. So...thanks all you nurses!

Answer 8

Its so hard I came home early tonight to get off my poor aching feet.

Answer 9

Answer 10
