We have one in the family, nurses everywhere are never paid enough.
Extra overtime, unpaid in many cases, or they have to claw it out of hospital's mountain of money.
The additional duties, unrelated to physical nursing as mentioned previously.
It's like the lady's who look like cleaners in the banks, but then when you turn around they are updating somebody's passbook.
My pappy always told me pay the people who teach you, heal you and protect you their rightful due, all three are most times thankless tasks.
Plus, I need the hottie nurse to tell me that my BP is too high so I that can reply, my BP is just fine it must be you! <wink>
- does she surreptitiously start looking for the red alert button? sure, but for a split second she is amused, or exasperated, it's hard to tell..
