What I hate about nursing

What I Hate About Nursing In 2021

by Emergent, RN

  1. Masks
  2. Hyper regulatory nonsense 
  3. Useless, blanket, time consuming screenings. The list grows longer every year 
  4. Mind numbing charting 
  5. Increasingly entitled public 
  6. Disjointed healthcare system

  8. Disregard of safety and sanity of frontline healthcare workers 
  9. Billions diverted to corporate salaries
  10. Masks
