Now he states he was joking, after I reported him. Nursing is a hard, tough job. Nurses are not punching bags, and we have to deal with the dregs of society. It is interesting. The most highly trained and educated people- physicians, nurses and other heath care professionals have to deal with the lowest members of society on a daily basis.It is a sad statement,( on top of everything else), for people to joke, or be sarcastic of a 70 year old nurse getting beaten up by another loser lowlife. i would expect better than that on this forum. I don't post much, but this really angered me.

We know he was joking.

If the moderators don’t care, that’s a problem.

Thanks,you’ve said it best.
I have 35yrs of nursing and I’ve had it.
There are very few grateful and thankful people out there in this day and age.I know a hospital is the last place anyone wants to spend any time and any procedure is not done out of enjoyment.

I have endured a great number of procedures since I was an adolescent and have a great respect for the nurses I have had. I could not do that kind of work and appreciate those who do it. I can’t begin to imagine some of the dregs you have to deal with on top of everything else.
