I would love to be a TV nurse, but that's not realistic, not any of it. |
It's a very rewarding job, but it's not sexy, not unless you think dealing with blood, germs and bodily functions is sexy. The nurses I know are trying to do their very best, but sometimes they are stretched so thin, taking care of eight or 10 patients, and they don't get a lot of credit for it. We do it because it is rewarding when you feel like you've helped someone. But the sexy job thing, the bed bath jokes, gosh no. |
It's dramatized, and the mundane aspects are edited out on television. |
