I'm an ICU nurse at a huge hospital here in Houston. I work 6:45 am-7:30 pm. I'm underpaid and under appreciated!!
I've gotten body fluids on me that would make you cringe. I get to boss the residents on our floor around, and we often get screamed at by families who think we aren't doing our job (hey, it's because I did my job that your nana still has a heartbeat!!
)
We get alot of folks we can't save which is really hard. But I love my job, I love what I do, and even though I come home swearing I'm going to do something else , I never would!
