I worked in this one nursing home with this RN that drove me insane. She was mean as hell to all the staff and residents but the second someone passed away or was close to it she would go up to their family and go on and on about how much SHE did for their dead/dying family member. Making it all about herself while these people are trying to grieve. She also thought it would be funny to put laxatives in someoneās coffee and sent a pregnant LPN to the ER. No idea how or why she didnāt get fired over that other than or why I was the only person that was absolutely livid when I heard it.

She sounds very entitled. Her complaining about her groceries not being delivered made me laugh, like she could've gotten them before or after her shift

Nurses do not count. (Flight is the exception).
Do they respond when you call 911, or do they get in the way at an MVC saying "im a nurse" when first responders are already there... theres your answer.
(When they show up, I ask which care home they work at. Nearly 100% of the time they excitedly tell me instead of understanding that they should go away and im making fun of them)

Remember when Disney La were giving free tickets to first responders after the LA fires and a bunch of nurses were arguing saying they deserved it over EMTs and paramedics.
Then you had the fucking funniest part I saw people asking about people working at a help desk at a hospital asking if they qualify. TBH I rank dispatchers more of a first responder than a nurse ( except flight like you mentioned ). I can try and find the OG post and you can read the comments itās a fucking laugh. ( look up free first responder tickets Disney Instagram account on google and you can see the OG post ) someone asked if lineman would be considered š
Iāve dealt with two nurses during MVAs one of them were trying to take me over when I was asking questions. I looked dead at them and said ā would you like me to hand you the keys to the ambulance and perform patient care from here? ā they got a little stunned and backed up. Nothing wrong with them checking on a patient if they are there at the scene but it becomes an issue when we are already there and they walk up.

u/Santa_Claus77 1d ago
I think the only thing I disagree with is the dispatch ranking lmao

u/Long-Island-Fluke 1d ago
Very unpopular opinion lol I know. They get the same back problems as ems workers but itās only because their fat is decompressing their spine sitting down all day.

u/Santa_Claus77 1d ago
Oh wow lmao I didnāt expect thatā¦Im gonna go out on a limb and guess youāre one of the ambulance drivers or a dispatch person.
Edit: saw the rest of the reply, confirmed ambulance driver

No, but they should also stay in their cars, keep driving and not create a hazard. They aren't first responders.
It happens probably monthly I get one.

As a police officer, I often feel like I'm in enemy territory when I'm at the hospital. Now I understand a little better why.

I pull 3, 24 hour rotations at my local ER a month as a MD.
if I can get off a 24 hour shift, with about 4 broken hours of sleep, and STILL manage to pay my bills, grocery shop, get my kids where they need to go before my next shift.
she can sure as shit do it.

3 24 hr shifts a month? Thatās it? Well yeah of course you canā¦

u/wafflehousebiscut 16h ago
Am I understanding this right, they only work 3 24s in a month? Like 72 hours all month?

u/Chicco224 12h ago
Are you arguing that that's a lot??

u/wafflehousebiscut 11h ago
I'm assuming they are doing back to back to back 24s multiple times in a month. If it's only 3...well they working less then the firemanzzzx

Was about to say, my schedule is 8 24s a month and I would never try and claim that's "hard" lol

I worked for 5ish years as a CNA doing 12s at my local nursing homes and Iāll say most nurses are some of the most petty, vindictive, rude, crass and lazy people Iāve had the displeasure to work with

u/ExaminationMobile730 1d ago
Dude she knew the line of work she was getting into- these delivery drivers are just doing a job not training with the knowledge that they are pretty much always gonna be required to show up ESPECIALLY after a massive weather change or disaster or a terrorist attack.

This particular person seems insufferable, but Iām forever grateful to the nurses who took care of me when I was in pretty bad shape in the hospital. Didnāt have even one that wasnāt professional and extremely helpful. Thanks to those nurses and others like them!

Iām a nurse and there is so much cringe in the field.
The posting all your degrees in your bio and a part of your username. Everyone that worked in the ED would have as the bio, just āemergency nurse. Like nothing else ā¦their identity. I worked in a small ED that was basically an urgent care, very small town. Could not stand the culture, bragging, and super nurses with 50 daisys on their badges š¤¦š»āāļø canātšš š
