Thank you so much. I have a deep respect 4 this field. ALL public service- law, fire, ems, social services, teachers, DOT, you name it- public *service* is the most noble of professions. All professions r important! However, 2 serve humankind? 4 great danger; physical, mental, finicial & reputation... Unsung heroes... Yeah, we all make mistakes! Do ur job mishaps deal with life or death or great injury for little pay? Yeah, I'm a fan. I'm proud 2b a RN it's not easy. Not everyone can do this nor should they. Nursing, Law, Teachers, etc... It's a calling that u live - it is ur everything. There r NO vacations 4 a lot of us... As 4 nursing home? We are family, all of us- residents become our GMA or GPA... Sadly? More often than not, we are the ONLY family... or (becoming more frequent) we get caught in a family mess & pay the price. Walk a day in my shoes? Better wear something comfortable cuz u r running a marathon...
