Today, my patient had her call bell on. When I went to see what she needed, she replied that she was very itchy and could not reach to scratch the itch. I basically got called in to scratch my patient's crotch. FML

So you're upset that some poor woman was so uncomfortable that she had to swallow her pride and press a button to get someone else to scratch a private area? Perhaps patient care is not the right field for you. F HER life, and grow up OP

36 - FYL for saying your life sucks. If it sucks so much, turn that frown upside down and go read some of DocBastard's blogs. You'll then realize how great your life truly is. Be happy that you're alive and you can experience such a beautiful place called Earth.

All the hard work we go through in nursing school feels like such a waste when things like that happen.

Welcome to nursing! Did you not read the job description? There's lots of activities that you'll perform that are awkward and embarrassing.

Hospital stays are so expensive they should come with a complimentary happy ending.

That's why you get paid that mad nursing money. yDI

If OP is a nursing assistant, there definitely is no 'mad' nursing money - just mad CNAs.

I work in a nursing home and have to do things MUCH worse than that. You're helping people and getting paid in the process. Quit complaining, lots of people out there don't have the benefit of a job.
