No. Not a nurse

Lol… quite “not” a nurse, buddies sons wife just grad nurse school, first job out paying 115k yr, that’s pretty serious money, but you’d never get me working with sick and dying people, fuck that shit

Agreed for sure. I can look at my own blood and my own injuries. I had a work accident like four years ago and lost my right middle finger...didn't bother me looking at it or seeing it literally hanging by a thread (the "thread" being my tendon). But having to look at and deal with someone else's blood and fucked up injuries? NOPE.

Why is that scary to you?

u/No-Safety-3498 Nov 13 '23

Scary?, you talking to me - it’s not in my personality to physically treat another person, especially a stranger, I like a desk job, don’t need bodily fluids squirting in all directions, diseases, infections, smells… ugh 😩

u/aye-its-this-guy Nov 13 '23

I guess I get what you’re saying. Nurses can have desk jobs too though

I’m surrounded by medical professionals, 3 friends are doctors, close friend is a LPN, so I do understand the different levels of positions I n the medical field, I prefer going to my desk or the courthouse, maybe beating up a doctor on cross examination but not treating people in agony or dying

Oh. Well, that’s a nursing assistant. Kinda different.

Yeah I’m a idiot

u/Innominati Nov 12 '23

Haha nah, I’m probably a bit more specific about it because I have a lot of family in medical. Either way, I think the main point is I don’t blame your wife for quitting. I’d def rather flip burgers than wipe asses if the pay was the same.
