Yeah I feel this. Not in any of the specifics, pretty much all of those I’m completely opposite to you in, but just in the overall sense of "yeah this shit’s complicated, I mostly like having sex with (in my case penises).

LOL I had a coworker who used to pretend his hearing aids died when he was done with your shit. everybody hated how lazy he was at overnight cleaning and whatnot but he was god-tier as a 1:1 sitter for maladaptively attention-seeking patients. They’d be saying all kinda outta pocket shit to him and he was just so used to faking deaf at that point that they had nothing on him. And I loved having him on our unit when we had sexually inappropriate guys. they’d fake suicidality to try and get one of the 18y/o nursing assistants to masturbate at but NOPE. You, creepiest of creepy sirs, get deaf gassy off-season mall Santa.

somebody tried to bring them to our psych ward and argue that they needed them because they were prescription (in fairness they were but bruh). it was a shitshow.

It’s wild to describe something I needed to get a license for and that is overseen by a board that can revoke it for malpractice as a hobby.

No if I was completely set for life I would still wanna be a nurse. I’d do like one shift a month maybe one shift a week at most but I don’t think I could do without the satisfaction of helping someone. I’d also probably pick and choose how I got to do it more. I’d do a lot less stuff that’s more characteristic of the institutional system and take more time to actually talk to people and try to help them with specific stuff instead of just providing three hots and a cot and my main method of keeping them from stabbing each other being invading their privacy. I actually got to sit down and de-mat someone’s depression hair last week and it was soooo nice I almost never have time for that anymore.
