A. Probably because everyone keeps asking why they smoke, are obese, don't exercise, etc.....

    It can't be cause they don't eat enough. Apparently they are all obese.

    I don't feel that I am unusually irritable but if I am it's because I take care of 30 elderly patients with very little help who have families that never come visit them and I get bled on, pooped on, and assaulted on a nightly basis. Meanwhile I get pulled in a million directions, trying to pass a million pills, while I am holding in my pee and trying not to kill anyone. Also, I eat and exercise as best I can, and although I don't smoke most of my coworkers do and that's no ones business but there own. I get that nurses are supposed to be advocates for a healthy lifestyle but we are people with the same struggles as anyone else. I think the average person who thinks that their nurse is "irate" has no idea what nurses are expected to squeeze into a shift. That being said I get the privilege of caring for some truly amazing people in the last years of their lives and that is worth all the BS. Most of the time anyway :)

    My wife was a CNA for two years, so I understand that more than you know!

    You understand that this post is a direct response to the people bashing nurses, right?

    My wife's currently a phlebotomist, and was previously a nurse assistant, so deals with the same working conditions as nurses (and is generally confused for a nurse by patients anyway).

    Poor nurses....:indifferent: I think it is because they have to deal with physicians. :grumble:
