“Largest BM a doctor witnessed in his career” sure is a nice achievement to unlock.
An important lesson was learned that day. Never stand on the receiving end of an enema, incision and drainage, manual disempaction, decompression or in front of someone who says “I feel sick”.
I dunno what he’s paid, but it isn’t enough.
RNs are paid quite well. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/registered-nurses.htm#tab-1 $45/hr for BSN.
Right, so, not enough.
Nurses are such integral parts of a functioning healthcare system, and it annoys me how they are systematically devalued. If we could wave a magic wand and make every nurse into a doctor (with the magic including the extra money it would take to fund this), it would be a downgrade. We often talk about nurses as if they’re just doctors, but worse, when in fact the role that they fulfill is qualitatively different to doctors and requires a different, not lesser, skillset.
