@ERRNCJ 3 months ago I’ve been a Registered Nurse for 45 years and have always loved my profession. As a mother of five sons, the flexible hours allowed me to work around their schedules. I cherished my time in the ICU and ER, working alongside firefighters, police officers, and doctors. We were like family, celebrating holidays and traveling together. I genuinely loved my patients.However, now at 65, I am utterly disgusted with the state of healthcare. After being admitted to the ICU for 12 days, I was treated terribly and barely survived due to the poor care. I never want to experience that again and have signed a DNR to avoid such an end.I no longer recommend anyone pursue a career in nursing. During my stay, an RN would only come in for a few minutes a couple of times per shift, constantly interrupted by her hospital phone. From my bed, I could see other patients’ heart rhythms, with alarms going off continuously and being ignored. Some patients were in life-threatening ventricular fibrillation, with no response from the staff. I had to ring my bell to alert them to these emergencies. The care was absolutely appalling. Never again. @LaCantressa 3 months ago My distrust of doctors was exacerbated by their response to the pandemic. I now think it's more dangerous to see a doctor than not to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVszhB_9W78
