Yeah, but it’s still Texas. Congratulations, I guess.

None! I just know it’s tough and a huge responsibility.

Good for them

Probably lots of birds. Anything with “tit” or “breast(ed)” might be illegal to teach about in Florida.

6a - Canadians go shooting in forests
6b - Americans go shooting in schools, shopping malls, or other public places

I’m American. I’m allowed to make dark jokes about how screwed up our society is.

If I knew the first thing about programming, I’d write a bot that replied “nice tits” randomly to your comments.

Manager’s and a group of doctor’s POV: you are a nurse and it’s your job and duty to do that.

They’re completely right. If you disagree strongly enough, the only honorable thing you can do is quit. You are not making any kind of statement, or being “rebellious”, by insisting on doing a half-assed job. You’re simply being dishonest and providing inadequate care.

Nurses are overworked and spread too thin, but that’s not something your current behavior will fix, or even protest.

Plus, we know better than him what’s good for him.

They should. That’s their job, and what they went to school for. It is not a nurse’s place to override their decisions (except in emergencies, of course). That’s what you signed up for when you took the job. Hell, listening to your manager is a basic requirement of most jobs, healthcare or otherwise. That’s Employment 101.

Patients are often stubborn, ignorant, and it’s possible that several of them wouldn’t be in the hospital in the first place if they took their health seriously.

If you take someone’s autonomy so seriously that you’re willing to respect and tolerate their “bad choices”, that’s perfectly fine, but nursing is by no means the right job for you. It’s not the mindset that upsets me - it’s that you’re working in the worst, least compatible field possible. I hope you’re able to find something else soon.

My sympathies to anyone who has to use reddit because their niche community either doesn’t have enough activity or doesn’t exist at all.

I’m more of a casual user who’s just here for the news and memes, so fortunately I don’t have that problem.

I know that Microsoft 365 subscriptions are nothing new, but it’s really hitting me how depressing that business model is.

Sometimes, being the calm voice in the middle is much more valuable than having a “solid argument”. You sound like a very reasonable person that I wouldn’t mind having as a boss.

This reporter seems to have a significantly different definition of “pressure” than I do.

Probably the best line I have read in any article this month:

I drove back and forth to a bookstore job in an ancient Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais so apocalyptically derelict that when I got pulled over for a busted taillight, the lady cop fixed me with sad eyes and asked "Is everything OK with you?"
