There are so many ruse nurses in every hospital, all over the world. It seems as if they think they are entitled to have an attitude, just because they are busy. Worker in almost every profession get busy, but they are not automatically ruse to everyone who is in their line of vision.
Nurses, on the other hand, speak to other workers in the hospital as if they are speaking to someone who is not worthy of their time. I work in a hospital and no one has ever been ruse to me - except all of the nurses.
One time I was just passing by one of them and this nut demanded to know why I did not go in the other direction. "Can't you see I busy writing notes?", she said, "I don't have time for the constant interruptions". She was definitely mentally disturbed.
I simply ignored her, except to say that if she ever spoke to me in that tone of voice again, she would be reported to her superiors. Her attitude just made my dislike of nurses more concrete.
I have met a couple of seemingly nice nurses, but the nasty attitude soon came to the surface.
I am not condoning the behavior of the nurse you mentioned. She was rude and unprofessional. But as a nurse myself, I resent the title of this blog. I'm not sure if you have ever been sick or hospitalized but when you are, your nurse is all you have. Doctors have the final say at the end of the day but when they are not around, nurses are their eyes and ears. Every detail and encounter has to be thoroughly documented and if not, it could mean the loss of their liscense and at the same time, their livelihood. Everyday more and more responsibility is put on nurses with no reduction of workload. This may attribute the the "rudeness" of the nurse you mentioned. Just remember not all nurses are like the one you mentioned and many cherish the role. Before you title a blog "I Hate Nurses" think about how much that nurse had going on at that moment that was far more important than giving directions or whatever it was she didn't do as though she was working the customer service desk of a grocery store
ReplyDeleteRight...the customer service person at the grocery store is a lowly slug compared to a NURSE! Lol! Yes Ms. Anonymous Nurse, you may not know it but you too are a BITCH NURSE that thinks you are better than every other person in the hospital, just look at your post. BITCH! That is why WE HATE YOU. Gallup, Press Ganey all those polls are done by people who have respect for the profession but do not have to encounter those working in the profession every day.
DeleteAll you have done is proven us right. It's your fucking job to maintain a professional attitude at work, and to serve your patients. Your time is no more important than anyone else's.
Delete"I'm not sure if you have ever been sick or hospitalized but when you are, your nurse is all you have."
DeleteYes, and what a shitty and sorry experience that was. When I gave birth to my daughter, the nurse snapped at me constantly and refused to hand her to me (from the incubator) when I was trying to sit up in the hospital bed. Rarely have I felt as scared and alone as during my post-partum hospitalization, due at least in part to that bitch. Before you go all, "remember the nurses...." keep in mind that the patient's memories might not be good ones.
I for one LOVE the title. Nurses are monsters. Pure and simple. If they had a brain in their heads they wouldn't be doing that for a living. They'd be doctors. And they think they're so saintly when the rest of the world hates them.
DeleteSome of them are deluded enough to take the job, thinking they'll land a doctor husband. Can you imagine a doctor taking some trashy nurse to their fancy college or medical school reunion as their spouse?
Registered nurses have an extensive and very brutal university course-load and are very very educated. Some people don't want to give 12 years of their life to school to become a doctor. You sounds insanely uneducated yourself
DeleteLOL no they don't. They take basic science courses ... AND NOT INTENSE AT ALL. IF YOU THINK THAT'S INTENSE THEN YOU MUST NOT BE VERY SMART. JUST ADMIT THAT YOU'RE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO BE A DOCTOR.. BYE.
DeleteNurse are just people that have education to get them by. Just because they are stressed out about their work load doesn't mean they should have a attitude. I work 12 hr shifts as well as a sonographer doesn't mean I treat people bad or have a know it all attitude.
DeleteMy current hospital stay is a visit in hell and besides the same canned green beans day after day after day after day and the raw chicken that bleeds when pressed with a fork, the nurses are unresponsive, don't answer call buttons, let alarms and IV poles beep for an hour at 3am while I observe them playing on their cell phones. I could use a little help going to the bathroom but since that rarely happens, I unhook my cords and machines and heart moniter patches and drag my heavy wound vac machine and IV pole to the bathroom just a few days after major emergency surgery. But nursey, don't you dare leave your Candy Crush game while I'm tripping over cords and dragging machines around. I used to think you were overworked and understaffed but after this week, I also think you think you feel entitled and lazy upon request. This is a good hospital?? Dead or alive, sick or well, I just want out of here.

DeleteDo you know why Nurses are pissed off, it's because they have to spend all day dealing with the retarded public, who have absolutely no clue what a nurse does, and couldn't give a shit. Just check out some of the comments - 'not smart enough to be doctors', 'basic education' 'lazy' 'no brains'. Yeah, so stupid that they're the ones keeping you and everyone else ALIVE! Oh, but the Gallup and Ganey scores are done by people in the know - horseshit - they're done by other retards who get pissed off because they're unstable diabetics who nurse refused to give them a soda. 'You're here to serve me' - no, nurses are there to save you, if you want a servant than get a butler. 'Didn't hand her from the incubator' - are you fucking retarded, they're in the incubator to KEEP THEM ALIVE!!! That's akin to saying 'pull out the trachy so they can have a cigarette'. Moron! I'm a sonographer...blah blah blah' - Like massaging 1 person at a time with a ultrasound wand is sooooo stressful!! Yeah, nurses just want to land a doctor and they're not smart enough to be doctors! Ah Ha, that's why a lot of them go into med school after completing nursing! As for landing a doctor as a husband - yeah of course, a asbergers bookworm, who's never there, and doesn't get a decent wage for many decades, is such a good husband! Even though the vast majority of nurse's husbands are not doctors. And the halfwit that disconnected all their life saving cords, machines and drags their wound vacs after 'major emergency surgery' - tripping over cords, and then blames the nurse for the kitchen mistakes... I applaud your ability to not Darwinising yourself. Next time try a little harder, as we certainly don't need your genius genes in the gene pool.
DeleteWow, angry much? Scary to think you're there to keep people "alive". You don't diagnose, perform surgeries, nor prescribe medications, unless you are a NP but you are required to follow orders, yes, from those bookworms. You should also adopt an ounce of compassion and decorum when dealing with the "retarded" public, as you affectionately title us but this is something that doesn't seem to exist in you according to your tone. I've personally been to enough hospitals as a patient and visitor and they're basically operated on the same premise that matches your ethos on the nurse level. I've not heard one doctor, ever, say they are there to save lives, nor have I ever heard a doctor say they are all the patient has when in their care. Your ego is so extreme and you are clearly a narcissist who should have no place in taking care of the infirm. Your anger keeps you at such a basal level on the food chain I find it ironic you barked at the last poster concerning their contribution to the gene pool. Go back and read what you wrote with a sane mind and find another trade.
DeleteI love how just because your a nurse you think your job is the only job that consists of hard or busy work load. People don't come to see nurses they come to see doctors. And I also work in a hospital and there's plenty nurses who walk around like their better then everyone and theres no need for that crap.
DeleteThis is what she was trained for. If she feels like this, she need to seek out other profession.
DeleteI hate them too. Even before anyone said anything to the nurse she started in on my mother, talked down to her and because my mom is about 90% deaf leaned in close to her face and yelled. My mom can read lips. My mom is also starting to not be able to remember things. She stated to her nurse the other day she was going to sell her house and come live with me. The nurse went back to her supervisor and told them. Now, no nursing services are coming for my mom even though I told them it's not true. I don't think they wanted to come there in the first place.
DeleteI currently work in healthcare as an ultrasound technician. In my career of 5years ive never met a more disrespectful, highly entitled bunch of people. Today 8/26/20 i was doing my job. Pt had noone jn the room that was my time to take 20min to perform the procedure. A RN came in during my exam to give meds. I told the rn, that can wait til after the exam. Now i know pts need their meds and etc, but at the same time we are there to help as well. She decided to still rudely interrupt my exam and begin to move the pt while im in procedure. The patient had to tell her put that on the table and it can wait til after. The rn didnt like that she still interjected herself and attitude. She then uttered something and i told her im in procedure she shut me up by saying were not going to argue infront of the pt in a condescending tone and said she would report me. She reported me by sending all department heads an email. I then continued to follow up with the nursing sup who was willing to listen but was busy. I understand that. I waited politely... we then set up a time after an outpatient i had only to be denied to speak to her because my manager talked them. My manager didnt even communicate that this was happening nor came to me for my side of the story. Anyway, at the end of the day i had another encounter with a rn. My second to last pt was spanish speaking, my spanish is okay not great. Anyway pt needs helps its my instinct to press the rn call button. They answer i say pt would like to speak to her rn. Why at the end shes asking for my name which i didnt mind giving to her but what for. Her response was vague, not patients around she pissed me off. Im talking to myself loud but not to her. She walks over with a tone like i work for her. And says im disrespectful. I said i dont work for you and dont talk to me like that again. I was done! Went to manager expressed ive had it with the rns. During this talk my director and manager said what i couldve did better with the first incident. Im like nothing im in procedure she shouldve waited. You know they said i shouldve allowed the the rn to give meds. Im like that doesnt make since so you want me to let the rn disrespect me and my job title is what you’re saying? Majority of rns are dicks. They are rude and thibk they are entitled, my director proved that point saying its RN driven. I said well if thats the case have the rn do the ultrasound!
DeleteThanks, anonymous nurse, for proving us right. God,i hate fucking nurses. Get off your high horse already, and remember that you are not the most important person in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you have that same attitude next time you're in hospital. I'm sure you're next enema will be so gentle!
DeleteHi. Home care RN here. I really think you need to examine why you are so insecure as to feel the need to berate nurses. Are some nurses rude? Of course. But making generalizations won’t do you any favors.
DeleteHome care nurses are much nicer. I think this post is more about hospital nurses.
DeleteTry walking a mile in a nurse's shoes before you judge. We take a lot of shit from doctors, patients, and family members on a daily basis and it tends to wear us down. It's a rough profession and I regret choosing this career path. I wanted to help people, not be abused by them.
ReplyDeleteEver think that you take a lot of shit because you DESERVE a lot of shit?
DeleteNurses are fucking lazy bitches. They deserve to be treated like shit. I have zero respect for any nurse. Piece of shit people.
DeleteWow. I love my patients. I really love my patients. As a nurse I go above and beyond for my patients. I have hugged my patients and given them coffee, or water, or a warm blanket when their family member, or child is sick....or died. Hearing the comments above makes me so sad for all of you. Do not forget that we are human beings also trying to help. Not every human being is the same. There are very good people out there that do care, and want good for humanity. Thank you all for having that much faith in humanity.
DeleteTreat nurses like shit, and you deserve to be treated like the piece of shit that you are. The difference is that along with that treatment, is also getting your foul face ground into the pavement by security, and your ass pumped full of sedatives. Still, go ahead, and continue to treat nurses like shit, and continue being a drooling zombie - it makes the lazy whales' job more easy not putting up with your ugly mug.
DeleteWow so assaulting a patient and drugging them into submission is your answer????
DeleteI see why the others here hate most..nurses.
I love mist nurses tho and most are twisted but halarious when they want to and make good friends despite being broken like you.
I will say this friend
If you had security beat ne for no reason and drugged me against my will for fun ?
Welll....
There would be no safe place for you.
I would sue you and the hospital since I've already been documenting fine details about your/hospital abuse all along previously.
That's a very expensive laugh from the unemployment line or possibly a jail cell if I had my way. And trust me I wouldn't stop until you were ruined and in jail lil bitchy girl..lol..
Here is some friendly advice:
"Do what you have to do but be prepared for the consequences my friend."
I'm a tech at a psych hospital and the nurses I work with are fat lazy bitches, and all our supervisors are former fat lazy bitch floor nurses, so as our patients get more violent they keep reducing the number of techs, and increasing the number of nurses, making their job easier (because they are lazy cunts) and our job gets harder and more dangerous, then we have posters all over our fucking hospital calling these lazy whales heroes...I HATE NURSES
ReplyDeleteIt makes me so sad when I see people making such sick allegations and generalizations. Some nurses are horrible, that's true. Just like some techs in psych hospitals are horrible. Every profession has bad eggs, but to make such gross, hurtful, hate filled allegations, you must have been through some bad shit. I'm sorry nurses dumped on you, but not every nurse is like that. We all are individual people responsible for our own actions and it is very short sighted to make accusations and blanket statements about a group of millions of people if you don't know all of them.
DeleteQuit generalizing, you piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Quit generalizing. I am a nurse, and I work the night shift simply because I am sick of listening to families, patients, and co-workers do nothing but bitch about everything and everybody during the day.
DeleteI agree. Quit generalizing. I am a nurse, and I work the night shift simply because I am sick of listening to families, patients, and co-workers do nothing but bitch about everything and everybody during the day.
DeleteYou are correct. All these generalizations about nurses are wrong. Making such hateful statements are wrong, but when you come on here as a nurse, making bitter statements about how horrible pts are, how you put up with them and their family members "bitching", you do realize you give them validation, don't you?
DeleteAnd I'm not saying that as some uniformed person that couldn't possibly understand. I'm a nurse just like you. I've had shifts where I've broken down and cried I've been dumped on so much. I've had shifts where I went to my car and literally screamed. But other people's hate doesn't validate you spewing your own.
then why the fuck did you become a nurse you stupid bitch
DeleteSome of these comments are harsh, but the fact is they are true. As a whole nurses are the least educated medical professional, lazy, rude and condescending to anyone they view "under them, and rude and hateful to anyone they are threatened by. I have utmost respect for the floor techs because they truly have a hard, stressful, and demading job. Nurses chart and give orders and complain how hard it is to be a nurse.
ReplyDeleteYeah, so being a mop monkey have a 'hard, stressful and demanding job'. I guess emptying a bin is so demanding and stressful? Do you know why floor techs are treated rudely, because they are functional retards who barely escaped high school, and yet think they know better than university educated staff. Try keeping someone alive for 12 hours, and then say that vacuuming carpet is stressful. Fuck off you halfwit, get a clue and go and buff the foyer!
DeleteUnbelievable if you hate nurses then stay away from hospitals. You nurse haters will one day get old and sick, button my assessment to hate nurses and put us in the same generalized category you have mental illness and a multiple diagnoses of mental retardation. Nurses work hard are understaffed so show some respect
DeleteReally anons? Mop monkeys? Do not validate such hateful people! You realize with every insult you fling back, "fuck you", "retard", "you'll be at my mercy one day", "techs are stupid", you give their hateful generalizations validation and support? What will that solve?
DeleteAnd excuse me anon #2, the techs are ANGLES. I am a nurse and would never survive without my techs. We work as a team. Doctors, nurses, techs. It is not a competition about who is smart or stupid, educated or not, we work together to restore sick people to health.
But anon #1, nurses do work their asses off to get their education. They are smart and it is not easy. You do my shift then come back and tell me how you did? Techs deserve every respect. They are hardworking and as a nurse, I wouldn't survive without mine, but do not think all we do is chart and voss others around. While our techs do many important tasks that we do as well, we have a lot of things we have to do for pts that they aren't trained for. Administering meds, assessing and monitoring pts condition, foleys, IVs, the list goes on.
So sad that so many of the responses seem to be about defending egos. There is a real problem in the medical world from doctors and above all the way down to the patients. This is so disheartening. Everyone is displacing their anger on everyone else without addressing the real issues. Nurses are displacing their anger from being mistreated by their superiors on their help mates and worst of all their patients! This is so sad.
DeleteAlso the condescending,demeaning and threatening are actually quite scary. Wow. What can be done?
I may be BITCH nurse but you know what? You are the reason. I have to put up with you bullshit and then be expected to kiss your ass? Fuck you. That's why I am such a fucking bitch and you are the one that deserves it. I'm already back in school to get out of a profession where ignorant pieces of shit get to abuse me. In the meantime until I get through grad school in an unrelated field: If you're an ass, I treat you like one.
ReplyDeleteYour the reason I fear being violent
DeleteAnd so you should, because I'm there to save your ass from dying, not be your punching bag. Sure, go ahead and be violent, and the nurses pump you full of cheer, you'll be a drooling zombie for a week.
DeleteCongratulations anon 1&2 for validating the false generalization that nurses are bitches. Their judgemental and hateful attitudes and words don't make it right for you to do the same. You are just adding fuel to their fire, doing nothing to prove them wrong. And before you go off on me for not getting it, I am a nurse just like you. I've been through hellish shifts, had VERY difficult pts, dealt with very worked up and unreasonable family members and doctors alike. This is not right. No anons, we aren't all uneducated, lazy, mean bitches that are so much better than every other over worked professional on the planet. No nurses, you can't drug up pts and call them retards, drooling zombies, or fuckers, no matter how difficult. Escalate the issue or call security and walk away. Jeez all y'all need to grow up!
DeleteMy mom has cancer and I am the one that takes her to the appointments and the hospital. The nurses are always snapping at me for no reason. When I ask for a nurse for my mom when I have a question. The questioning I am asking pertains to my ailing mother fuck you and your self righteous bullshit. Just because society worships nurses and exalts what they do does not mean you all are gods.
ReplyDeleteAmen. I'm in the same exact situation here. I'm actually quite shocked. Never in my entire life have I had women snapping at me so much and so frequently for no reason or for totally made-up reasons, and I work in fashion!! I guess it must be a shitty job indeed to make them so snappy all the time but seriously, I hope and pray I never get sick because I don't want to spend a minute in their company. Happy Halloween!
DeleteYou're a seamstress for eating disorderd airheads with an IQ of wet lettuce. Well of course you wouldn't know why they're snapping at you. If your job entailed keeping dying people alive and bringing them back to health, instead of making some anorexic skeleton look even more ghastly, you too would be snapping at everyone.
DeleteGod anon #3, thank you for proving them right with your colorful insults! Why are you so hateful? I am a nurse too and must ask, what did your insults accomplish for our profession but damaging its reputation further?!
DeleteAnon # 1 and #2 I'm so sorry you've had relatives in such bad ciricumstances. The nurses were probably over worked, being pulled in one thousand directions at once. We aren't all bitches though. The job is stressful, it doesn't validate snapping, but we aren't perfect. Please don't think of us as one hateful generalized stereotype when each nurse is their own person.
Oh my goodness there some twisted people in this world. There's dickheads everywhere... from any walk of life any profession no profession... why should it be a competitiion on who is the most or least this and that and the other. This bloody ridiculous. Also alot of people comment on here sound very jealous of not getting a degree and a good and rewarding job afterwards... very silly and ignorant blog.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteGet some antidepressants guys, yall SUCK
ReplyDeleteWhen I was sick most of the nurses were borderline psychopaths. I actually had one stab me with a needle with force when she was meant to be giving me an injection! I agree they definitely don't deserve the saintly reputation. Out of say 30 nurses I encountered during my illness only 2 were decent caring humans.
ReplyDeleteHey clueless, it's called an injection, because it's INJECTED with a NEEDLE! They're needles, they're not unicorn farts, they're supposed to be inserted quickly, otherwise you're prolonging pain. Seriously, if you think that because they inserted the needle quickly makes them psychopaths, then you're more retarded than these posters.
DeleteUnicorn farts, that's original, I'll give you that! But you then had to ruin it and call someone who was sick a retard. Really? I'm a nurse and I can control my tongue. You're acting like you're five. Please grow up and learn to have a filter before you ruin people's opinion of our profession further.
DeleteI do a lot of the same shift patterns as the nurses where I work with, I am not clinical but I have a high pressurised job with a lot of board directors on my case, in my reviews Ive never been once classed as rude, arrogant or having an attitude. The nurses however, especially on one ward are ridiculous. They bark at you like you are a dog, never say please or thank you, do not want to give you any acknowledgment that you have helped them out. I am educated to degree level, so education or no education. Manners take no time at all and cost nothing!!! HAD TO RANT AFTER HAVING AN ENCOUNTER WITH A NURSE AT WORK JUST NOW!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. I run a tight factory in manufacturing, and my shift pattern and work load would reduce most nurses to a wobbling mess. There are thousands of people that work harder for less money than these bitches, and can't retire at 60 on a wanking great pension.
DeleteIf you managers think that you have it so hard, then by all means, get out of your cushy offices, and try and keep 30 people alive for 12 hours. I'm sure stopping people from dying is absolute cake-walk, compared to the 'high pressure' that is paper pushing.
DeleteRunning a shift in manufacturing is hands on and not paper pushing. By the way, the long hours we work result in us paying shit loads of tax. Where does that go ? Er let me see........Paying for the NHS and other creaking socialist failures. Remember that when you gather at the nursing station to talk about your new washing machine.
DeleteShe forgot to mention those 30 patients you need to keep alive being whiny, entitled assholes like you.
DeleteI work with nurses and the prettier they are the more stuck. They don’t respect security but suck the dick of the pcts call them pct next time some wants to punch your lights out.
Delete30 patients kept alive by doctors. Whine on asshole
Delete30 patients putting up with your bullshit. The "entitled" that pay your wages and pension you twat.
DeleteYour a factory worker well nurses have a degree and have dedicated many years studying you must be jealous of our capabilities. What a loser!!!,You must feel disappointed with your chosen path life. Factory worker ha ha ha how stressful wow you must be retarded too
DeleteI've an engineering degree, work 12 hour shifts often turning into 14 hours, responsible for 20 men, keeping production lines running to maintain profit, coming off a 12 hour Sunday night shift straight into a board meeting to explain why outputs are 3% below target, chasing customers for payment so my guys have a wage at the end of the week, covering sickness when 50% of the workers phone in sick, hearing personal problems all week, being threatened by suppliers who could shut our operation overnight. But hey .... you nurses are the only people to do any work, well don't we just fall at your feet.
DeleteHi factory working and nurse. I'm a nurse. You both are acting like five year olds with your bickering and need to grow up. There's no contest to see whose most miserable at their job or most all shat upon at work. All jobs have shitty hard days.
DeleteFactory worker and manager, I don't have any doubt you guys work hard and deal with a lot of shit. Nurses are in no way better than you. But you are not better than them and we are not all bitches. Nurses are a large diverse group that act differently from one another with different experiences. Please don't go around jamming us all into one bitchy stereotype just because you've encountered bad ones of our profession.
Nurse, don't go around calling pts retards and losers. You only give a bad opinion validation with those childish statements. Prove them wrong.
Nurses think they're all that and that they should always get what they want which is stupid...Throw them out to do some tech jobs then they're lost. They can't even comprehend that a temporary password is the old password when you try and change it. They only know what they know but other than that they're nothing.
ReplyDeleteOh they're so stupid at type of job that they're not educated or trained for... yeah so stupid. Hey, seeing how you're obviously an expert in all things nursing, how about you go ahead and correctly titrate insulin and warfarin? Peritoneal dialysis or correct an electrolyte imbalance on your tech skills. Nope, then go back and restore the email server that's gone down yet again for the 16th time this hour.
DeleteBoth y'all need to calm the hell down. I am a nurse and owe so much to my techs. Techs we are trained to do everything you do. You need to stop resenting each other and act as a team.
DeleteI've had several stays in hospital, and I've found most nurses to be pseudo middle class twats, spending most of their shift huddled around the nursing desk and bitching about the whole world or moaning about their daughters new boyfriend. Dare you ask for something, water, food etc. you're met with the vitreol of satan and given two hundred excuses why they're too busy and can't help. Privatise the nhs now.
ReplyDeleteWell if you're too good for the 'pseudo middle class twats', then why don't you go and pay for private hospital! Of course not, because you're just another scumbag trailer trash who expects royal treatment, and treats the 'pseudo middle class twats' like slaves. Fuck off and die you entitled chav cunt.
DeleteSeveral points to make.
Delete1. I've already paid for treatment. It's called tax. Buy a dictionary and look up 'tax'.
2. Yes I am trailer trash, and likely more rich and paying into the system than you.
3. You say fuck off and die. Are you a nurse by any chance ??
Oh and one last thing .... I bet you're fat like all the other NHS cunts.
DeleteNot all nurses get paid in taxes love. You need to be more grateful and stop generalizing about a group of millions of people. We're all different not a bitchy, cunt monolith.
DeleteAnd fellow nurse, calling difficult pts cunts and telling them to fuck off is not doing our profession as a whole any favors. Calm down and act more mature.
Omg, if people treated us with respect and think. That's the thing that wears us down. Constant stupid questions and stupid requests by people who are not really that sick!!!!!!!I don't care for well people. I'm a nurse!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime in the room next door someone is trying to die and it's my job to prevent that. So if when you ask me that stupid question while I am on my way to the office to urgently call a doctor, please excuse me that right then .I Don't care that you have flowers that need a vase.. grow up and get over yourselves.
Calm down dear.
DeleteNurses need more ethics classes for sure. When I gave birth, I've never been treated so shitty in my life. My sister attempted suicide and two nurses were speaking like two little middle school girls behind the curtain saying, "If she had just looked up the right way, then that would save us all the trouble." Really?! Wow.
ReplyDeleteThen they like to claim they're heroes, like oh my gosh I saved a life today. Please...why dont you get over YOURSELF!
Why don't you Sweetheart! Just because you pushed a screaming clot from your vag, doesn't make you a hero either. Has it ever occurred to you why you were treated horrendously, is because you're a bitch! Try dropping the attitude, and you might be treated a little more kindly.
DeleteHi, fellow nurse here. How do you know she's a bitch? Were you her nurse? You know her personally? And you called her baby, an innocent child, a screaming clot. Real mature. Thank you so much for making us all look horrible.
DeleteI'm so sorry about your sister. Something like that would leave a horrible impression on me too. Something needs to be done about this. Nurses we need to stop displacing our frustrations on our patients. This is scary
DeleteNurses in general are overworked without any appreciation. THus they love to effin project their rude azz attitude to their co workers, new nurses, and their patients. I see it all the time. But im glad the new world order has a list of these high pension earners to give them a diease to die quicker.
ReplyDeletei was about to comment on the post above you. and i always thought it was just me, i work at a care agency and i notice 6/7 of nurses i ever got to work with had dementia, or some disease that will shorten their lives. i was just at a cafeteria in a hospital and they were offering DASANI water. which im sure you guys are aware of the ingredient potassium chloride which is in dasani water = death. so now im i dont feel bad for nurses who are already listed.
DeleteNew World Order... Yeah, they'll consult the area 51 Aliens, then call the illuminati, who will stop releasing chem-trails and fluoride, then consult the Freemasons, to listen to the anti-vaxers, to get the alien-lizard Barack Obama involved. If you're going to have delusions, at least have the large satisfying ones!
DeleteAs for care worker who changes adult diapers all day, please tell us how you're able to diagnose diseases by looking at people's cafeteria habits?!? I'm sure those with actual medical degrees in neuro-pathophysiology would love to know. Oh, by the way Doctor Diagnose-by-Sight, you do realise that a banana has more potassium than trace minerals in bottled water. Still feel free to continue diagnosis from sight, I'm sure you'll find many diseases smeared over the adult diaper you're changing!
Nurses are aweful. I'd get far better treatment from a worker at a mcdonalds than from a nurse at a hospital. And I have!
ReplyDeleteThat's fine, next time you need to be kept alive, make sure you ask the brain-dead teenager at Mcdonald's to do it. I'm sure the ones can't even get the order right, will surely do much better than miss 'do you want coke with that?'.
DeletePeople are so ignorant. I bet the girls bitching about nurses are the ones that bitch about every damn thing. Shut your asses up and take care of your damn self then.
ReplyDeleteDo you think nurses might be "rude" because they are at the receiving end of disrespect and vulgarity that many people on this thread have expressed (and for 12 hours or more). It must get tiresome. Try to put yourself in that situation if you can. The nurses I work with are quite compassionate and do care for their patients. They do not have an elite attitude and would do whatever they could to help the people they're caring for. Don't let one bad apple spoil the bunch.
ReplyDeleteYou rude and look down on security and there the ones that have to put themselves in harms way. When some comes at you so glad you cunts feel disrespected you do it to others who’s not patients.
DeleteI'm a nurse and I love security. They're great people always there to help and keep hospital staff and pts safe. Not all of us hate our hospital security so don't generalize us please.
DeleteMight be rude is an understatement, it's their attitude, any time you have a problem with nurses and there are many,just contact your state medical board of nursing,they will look into it. don't be intimidated by these bitches.
ReplyDeleteWe all aren't bitches real. To generalize any group of people, including nurses, is hella rude and judgmental. If you feel a particilar nurse has done you wrong, feel free to report them, but don't go around spewing hate and name calling a whole group if people when you don't know all of us.
DeleteNice threat, but in real life, the medical board ain't going to investigate whiny bitches like yourself. They will just wipe their asses on your bullshit moaning, because they're staffed with nurses themselves, and they have an acute sense of smell for bullshit peddled by whiny bitches such as yourself - and they're fully aware of the tattling bitches trying to target nurses. Yeah, so keep threatening to snitch on nurses, and your hospital file will get the 'whiny snitch needing repeated and severe enemas' stamp. So, please go and threaten to snitch to the nursing board, but until then bend over and breathe!
ReplyDeleteMaking threats against a difficult pt, real mature. And no I don't hate nurses. I'm one of them and I know that's wrong.
DeleteYou can also report misconduct by a nurse to your health Ins. co.,medicare,JCAHO,and there's more.That stupid bitch made threats that if you report any nurse they'll get even in the hospital(that's bogus).
ReplyDeleteYeah, real retard! Hey Genius, rudeness is not misconduct, and good luck proving it to health insurance companies, medicare and JCAHO. I'll repeat it, because you're obviously haven't got the brain capacity to comprehend it. Those companies don't give a rat's ass about whiny bitches such as yourself, as they get thousands of complaints from entitled princesses who didn't get a toe rub from the 'rude, mean nurse'. Those companies don't care, as you're nothing to them. So go ahead and report all you like, but those companies are laughing away at how deluded you are, in thinking that your complaints are going to do a farts difference. As for getting even in hospital, go right ahead being a bitchy princess. I do hope you enjoy repeated enemas, no sleep and being a pin cushion - and no, it's not bogus. Remember, you're being a bitch to people who are paid to stick you with needles, good luck getting gentle service with an attitude like that. Yep, a real idiot.
ReplyDeleteWow that's some serious hostility. So because someone is difficult, that gives you the right to violate humiliate them? I wish a nurse would take something without my permission and place it in a private area if MY body.
DeleteAmen. Anon calm the hell down and stop making threats. It's immature and makes nurses look bad.
DeleteAgree with this post 100%
ReplyDeleteNurses think they are entitled when theyre really not, they give the medical interns a hard time( possibly because theyre so young and get better pay) jealous? I am a student nurse who went through hell on my clinicals with rude uptight old school nurses. Nobodies forcing you to work this job, dont take it out on students, nurses or other healthcare members
I refuse to have student nurses standing around me gouging and being judgemental,everyone should tell the doctor( no students at all) their not going to learn at your expense.....
DeleteHow are they supposed to learn real? Let's stop all student nurses from learning and we'll let them have at it their first day as a real nurse. Do you have no compassion or kindness. That student was right. There are a lot of bitch nurses out there. But that's not all of us. There are a lot of impossoble to please pts too...
DeleteI'll never understand the open hostility shown to other health team members. This is not a pissing contest to see who's job is most important. This is about patient care.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the point of rolling your eyes, sighing and grumbling at your coworkers? You realize the MDs order these exams. If this is a problem, take it up with the MD. Oh that's right - I'm an easier target.
I'm a nurse myself and i agree that there's a lot of bitch ass nurses mainly in the hospital. I don't advertise that I'm a nurse, so when i go to the hospital or any other healthcare setting, i see nurses rolling their eyes as they pass by, talking crap in general.
ReplyDeleteId like to think that I'm a sympathetic nurse, but many many many are not.
Unless I'm unconscious I will not go to the hospital, I went once and had to contact the state medical board. When going to the doctors office don't take any advice from medical assistance their only kids not nurses, for them to pass themselves off as nurses is against the law....
ReplyDeleteBecuase they took pathogenic microbiology and A&P and are going to act as if the year or two of nursing school was as hard as doing brain surgery. Half the people that are in my Anatomy and Physiology class are going for nursing (im going for an associates in paramedic studies and certificate), and those "to be nurses" are all at a 67% or lower. Im sitting at a 91 without putting forth too much effort, but these "to be nurses" whos shit dont stink are practically failing.
ReplyDeleteNurses are not rude,patients are the ones who are rude to them, imagine a patient who removed his oxygen mask just because he his uncomfortable with it and when the nurse replace it, she is bad.if I may ask you,is that beening rude or saving the patient? If you call that rudeness then you are not being fair in your judgement.I have also delivered in a hospital before and all the nurses were good to me.if a nurse is rude to you,then you have to check your self maybe you are rude yourself.

ReplyDeleteThere's a reason patients complain, their sick,in pain,or mistreatment, patients don't go to the hospital looking for trouble,nurses do,their frustrated with their work,and they take it out on the patient,and there's no accountability so they will continue to mistreat patients.Bad attitudes is common in hospitals......
DeleteLet's face it nurses are not there because they have a good heart, it's time off and money, just read some of the blogs nurses write, nothing but complaints, nurses don't want to be there, and they take it out on the patient, the patient is the enemy........
ReplyDeleteSome nurses are the reason why patients leave treatments,they so rude and heartless..once a person gets a job as a nurse start acting like she owns the health centre...a nurse can tell u to never come back to the clinic...wow I was so shocked when I heard that from one of the nurses in tshwelopele clinic in spruitview but I kept quiet because I thought she might give me wrong pills n am pregnant ...u can loose ur child through stress of a nurse than family,even now my heart is still broken am scared to even go back there when am sick 😓😥😴🤰may God be with through my pregnancy that's the best a person can ask ...the nurse whom was working with pregnant women on Thursday 28/02/2019 wow that nusrse is so rude n had no name tag ...she is truely giving that clinic a bad name because all other nurses where so good accept her ...
ReplyDeleteNurses act this way because their never held accountable..........
DeleteI am a sexual abuse survivor. A lot of nurses are compassionate and understand how procedures, especially ones where my private areas are exposed have a major psychological affect on me. I always get one smart ass that says "We seen it all before" or "you'll be okay" like my feelings of humiliation and voulnerabilty don't matter. I get what you seen, that's not the point! Some nurses need to comprehend that sexual abuse survivors or victims need to be accommodated like not having our sexual organs out unless it's really nessacery, being told what's going on and not just doing whatever they want, if there's going to be a male dr, and having very minimal staff touching them.
ReplyDeleteWhen I fave birth in 2016 it was a nightmare. The nurse walked in on me completely unclothed after I told her to wait, I was mortified and extremely pissed off. They had a male dr just walk in and sit his ass right in front of MY vagina without letting me know at all who tf he was and the idiot didn't even see my libia on right. There is absolutely NO dignity.
In 2012 my sister was in the hospital for spinal surgery and as they were taking her catheter out some rude ass nurse opens the f ing door as my sister's legs were spread out and has a f ing conversation with the other 2 nurses. Anyone could've walked by and seen her. She was also humiliated.
When my aunt was dying of stage 4 Neuroendocrine Carcinoma the nurses left her gown all the way down with her full breasts exposed.
Nurses, if you treat your patients like this, please stop. I am asking as a human with emptions and a past of being sexually abused and watching other being humiliated. We know you've seen it all but imagine how you would feel if patients saw you naked.
Thank you!!! I agree 100%! I had a baby last year and my nurse just barged in the room and humiliated me in front of my visitors! I am still angry to this day. Not a day goes by that I don't fantasize about breaking her bony little fingers.
DeleteIt's not how the nurse feels it's how the patient feels emotionally,we the patient must tell the doctor beforehand and tell them no studences, these kids just barge in on patients every where in the hospital...........
ReplyDeletepsychiatric nurses are the worst they don't give damn about patients i know this because i been treated badly by them and if you complain they twist the story up because at the end of the day its all about their last pay check or when they are paid to make things worst if they had lousy day they take it out on the patients im fed up of nurses they should not be glorified at all they all full of shit
ReplyDeletethere are so much double standards in hospitals and no respect for patients especially ( men ) nurses shut men down immediately, men will not say anything because it's not manly, I've already had a nurse call me a sissy because I complained, I told the head nurse I wasn't going to put up with that, and she laughed, men must say when their being mistreated.......
ReplyDeleteThey get paid for sitting round a table ordering from Avon. Underpaid and understaffed my ass.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Everytime I've spent in hosptial, I've witnessed nurses spending more time talking crap about their personal lives than working.
ReplyDeleteWow so assaulting a patient and drugging them into submission is your answer????
ReplyDeleteI see why the others here hate most..nurses.
I love mist nurses tho and most are twisted but halarious when they want to and make good friends despite being broken like you.
I will say this friend
If you had security beat ne for no reason and drugged me against my will for fun ?
Welll....
There would be no safe place for you.
I would sue you and the hospital since I've already been documenting fine details about your/hospital abuse all along previously.
That's a very expensive laugh from the unemployment line or possibly a jail cell if I had my way. And trust me I wouldn't stop until you were ruined and in jail lil bitchy girl..lol..
Here is some friendly advice:
"Do what you have to do but be prepared for the consequences my friend."
I agree. Nurses are really mean to female patients especially. It doesn't matter how nice I am or how much I smile at them, they are the bitchiest meanest people I've ever met, especially to other women. Then I see the same nurses talk to men and they're sweet af. Pisses me tf off. Stop the caddy mean girl high school shit and grow up. Also, close your legs.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with the OP! Every bizarrely self-important woman I meet lately turns out to be a nurse. The fact that roughly half of American nurses don't even have a college degree (making it clear that their job doesn't even require critical thinking skills) also makes me wonder why they seem to expect us to treat them with such awe? They pass out meds, monitor vitals and record both basically. It's a working class degree that pays well because it's a boring and repetitive job made worse by a ruthless healthcare system. None of that makes me impressed with them or their abilities. Sorry, not sorry.
ReplyDeleteNurses: A lot of you here validate the fact that you are bitchy because of psychological distress from all the abuse you take from patients and doctors, but are mad to be called out as bitchy and dont want to be generalized while you treat even the sweetest patient asking for a reasonable question like garbage because well, you can't be bothered by "healthy people" asking "dumb" questions.
ReplyDeleteIn the past, my ex went to the ER due to an extreme pain in his lower abdomen. They had put him on a bed, taken him to an empty room in the hospital, and while he was suffering from excruciating pain, not a single soul came to check on him for hours. He called 911 to have someone rescue him from oblivion. They discovered that his appendix had ruptured while waiting. He didn't whine or yell at anyone while he waited, he was patient, and politely asked for help but no one did anything, because of course they were dying people elsewhere. Do you think he should have been more vocal? Would he have had to yell at one of you to get some help?
You say that patients yell and mistreat you all the time, but do you sometimes put yourself in their shoes? Patients are going to be scared, uncomfortable, confused, and VERY vulnerable in the hospital. So even the nicest person can act defensively towards a nurse with an attitude problem. There will be entitled and annoying patients, and under vulnerable circumstances, they will become monsters. You can't retaliate every single time or go around and take it out on bystanders to feel better.
When you go ahead an mistreat others because you are miserable, you are creating a toxic environment, a vicious cycle of tit for tat, and a self-fulfilled prophecy that patients are going to ruin your day will become reality because you will already have a shitty attitude and patients will react to it. Stop the toxic cycle. You are perpetuating this bitchy culture. You are allowing this culture to be acceptable.
Get therapy. Don't hospitals offer this to practicioners? Aren't you taught in nursing school that you will be facing these types of harships daily? If you are understaffed and overworked, why aren't you protesting? Why is there no uprising? If the system is unfixable, then change career, stop being a parasite and infecting other workers and patients with your negativity. And if you go work at a private clinic, do not bring that toxicity there too. People pay for a better treatment, so make an effort to give a better treatment.
What is the whole point of taking pride in keeping people alive, if the people you keep alive hate you for treating them like cattle? Isn't it sad? Don't you want to change that?
Doctors:
Any med students here looking to become a doctor: We get it, your parents have invested a fortune in your education, you've invested half of your life in getting your Doctorate, you'll be bathing in prestige and will be called a hero. But all that education and prestige doesnt mean anything if you act like an arrogant condecending twat towards nurses and other colleagues. You are at the top of the foodchain, and the way you treat others will influence the way they treat others as a result. You're not a better human than others because of the privilege you were born with. Be humble, it goes a long way. For those who are working full-time to pay for their med school, props to you, and you will understand real hardships, treat others fairly, and earn your respect appropriately.
Oh honey. There are different types of nurse. I am a nurse who works in a nursing home with hospice patients. I am perhaps the most gentle soul and heart that ever was. But ive realized that nurses are of course human too, and sometimes a mere human cant overcome their own psychological weaknesses it takes to truly care for the sick.
ReplyDeleteI am a patient at a hospital right now for a perforated ulcer. The nurse that that is assigned to me today has been a total bitch with an atitude since she started her shift this morning and has been very ugly towards me for just small shit and I have tried to be nice to her but all she gives back to me is a "kiss my ass atitude" and I don't deserve her fucked up atitude and don't know what else to do! Should I say something to the Superiors of this hospital or what? I don't feel well and she is making me almost sick to my stomach and feek a lot of anxiety and nervovsness every time she comes in my room and she is making me feel worse, not better.

ReplyDeleteI've come to refer to the hateful world of comment sections as "the trash fire of the internet". Making a generalization that all nurses are rude (and creating a website to spew hate about them) is... just....wow. There are many, many nurses out there working hard to help people, and they deserve credit. "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind."
ReplyDeleteI worked in a nursing home and can 100% say nurses are extremely rude for no reason. Even the HR manager was the rudest person there. They were bullying a new indian CNA for no reason. The girl was delivering a tray to a patient and the HR manager barked at her "that's the wrong order what's wrong with you. Idk why the f__ we hired you." She said this loud, for all the patients in the cafeteria to here. And this sweet girl just nodded her head and didn't fire anything back.
ReplyDeleteAs a CNA any time I had to report to a nurse she wouldn't even look up from her computer screen or anything she was doing. I was so beneath her she wouldn't make eye contact with me. Even on my last day there. They always act like they're too busy doing more important things. And the nurses at the nurse station had a favorite CNA girl (who was obnoxious, loud, and toxic). She would sit at the nurses station with them and read magazines and talk about their spouses. For hours on the clock. Anytime you spoke with a nurse the conversation would quickly go to "why aren't you working faster, pay attention to the lights (patient alerts), you didn't do this that and the other thing yet." While they sit on their ass and act so smug. Once i had conflict with another CNA and it was brought up and the nurse says "ah, trouble in paradise?" They make these snarky little comments trying to allude to the fact that we have it easy and couldn't possibly comprehend the stress and responsibility of a nurse. Yet we are on our feet all day literally nonstop moving while they bicker complaints and sit at a desk or roll a cart of supplies down the hall for one patient.
My experiences as a patient have been bad as well. Once i came for a yearly checkup and the doctor was 2 hours late. Next time I came I was 10 minutes late and a nurse/receptionist was extremely rude lecturing me about how i need to manage my time better and how they almost cancelled the appointment, while glaring at me with evil aggressive eyes. Then at the appointment the doctor is like "yeah that's nothing to worry about your fine." And bills me $80. A time early on in college i went to the doctor cuz i was super light headed like i was gonna pass out and my stools had been green and super thin. The doctor just said "you're just dehydrated drink more gatorade." I was like okay... and i went on about something i read online that might apply to me. He's like walking out the door while i'm talking. Then standing at the doorway he turns to me and says "nope youre dehydrated" with this jerk look on his face.
Look starting out i had cancer when i was 6 and i wouldn't be here if there weren't doctors. But my experience being an adult and having doctor visits. It's been horrible. Anything in medical field has been mostly bad treatment.
Emergency RN here. I am pretty horrified by these comments. I had no idea there was a community of people that felt this way about my profession. I’ve seen some rude nurses in my profession but at least in my hospital it seems they are really nice. I try to go out of my way to be nice to other staff members of the hospital regardless of their title.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about this perception of nurses being so prevalent. It’s not a coincidence that this many people would hate our profession.
I know I am not always liked by all of my patients because I am often asked to do things for them that I have no control over. I got punched the other day because an elderly man thought I made the decision to move him to a semi private room. He complained that he liked the other room better. I would try to explain the unit manager made the decision because they needed it for a patient who had an infectious disease and needed isolation. But he went into a rage about how I was doing this to him.
I think a good nurse will try to do everything they can for their patients best interest but it’s not always possible and we take the brunt of the blame for it.
Wow. So the first comment was published in 2011. It's now 2022 and sadly, nothing has changed because all you nurses are just as awful as you were 10 years ago, and 20 years ago, etc.
ReplyDeletePeople come to the hospital because they're sick and in pain and at the very least you would expect the medical staff to treat their fellow patient with decency and respect. But NO, now it hurts your ego to do that. Now you say that it's not in your job resume. Last time I checked, acting like horse shit wasn't listed as a job requirement either and yet you do it anyway.
You hurt and bully people. You judge and (as of 2020) spread misinformation and you are so glee about.
Please fuck off because I'm done
The comments basically confirm everything that I've been saying. Nurses are bullies. All of them. Every. Single. One. The next time they start talking about abuse towards nurses, ask them if they hate getting abused then why do they feel it's okay to abuse the people they are supposed to be taking care of?
ReplyDeleteI used to work as a doctor. Of course, a sweeping generalisation is rarely correct and this is no exception, there are lovely nurses and awful nurses but in my experience and comparing this to other professions I have worked in, the british national health service has more than average levels of workplace toxicity and a very large part of that is a culture of bitchiness in nurses. Not all nurses are like this but you see it is the majority of departments in the majority of hospitals. Of course, us doctors are just as bad but it does not change the fact. My hours were awful, my workload completely unreasonable, the quality of postgrad training poor, yet the stress and distress this caused me was nothing compared to the unpleasantness of being bullied by other doctors (50%) and the unhelpfulness, spite and bitchiness of nurses (50%). It was a large part of why I left clinical medicine. I am strong enough to cope but why should I? I had nothing left to prove to myself. The recent staffing and pay crisis in the NHS is going to push stress and pressure levels up and I have noticed that the level of bitchiness has a basal level that never changes and a second component that is directly proportional to the level of pressure. I would rather shoot myself than return to that world.
