Everyone has that one coworker.

Most jobs have pretty simple schedules. You go in during the morning, leave at night, sleep, and come back the next morning. Nursing is not “most jobs.” When you're a nurse, you could be working the night shift one day, and working a day shift another day. It really does a number on your circadian rhythm. Once you get a big girl job, you'd think you'd have a more consistent schedule, going in the same time every week and getting used to the admittedly strange hours you need to work. If you're a…

Nurses are one of the most undervalued professions. Any position that got an outpour of support for a couple of months in 2020 and then quickly got thrown under the bus deserves our utmost respect. Sure, nurses got claps on the streets of New York during the height of the pandemic, but they deal with so much daily they deserve claps yesterday, today, and for the foreseeable future.

A KO while she gets KO’d

There are few crazier places to work than in the ER . The constant state of emergency is literally in the name, and people often manage to injure themselves in the strangest of ways. Few jobs are more revealing about how truly dumb most of us are, and nothing proves this more than the sheer number of people who get things stuck in their orifices. This was discussed in a recent video by @katetoks1 , which went viral after she revealed some of the things she had to remove from places they shouldn…

Serious illness is one of the most physically and emotionally challenging experiences an individual can go through. As a result, many sick people will resort to almost any methods to alleviate some of the pain. In recent years, this has allowed for the surge in popularity of therapy animals, who supposedly bring comfort through their calming presence. These have ranged from the obvious (dogs) to the decidedly unconventional ( parrots and even alligators ). If there's one thing that they tend to…

No healthcare for you sir.

Stethoscope at the ready.

You deserve these memes, and so much more!
