This isn't even specific to that field. A lot of nurses in my graduating class (2020 of all years) wanted to go into ICU (really sick patients, but 1-2 at a time) and got catfished into medsurg (waitressing narcotics to 8-10 angry boomers at a time). Occasionally they would get halfway catfished into stepdown (a middle-ground) or telemetry (cardiac stepdown). The only reason it didn't happen to me is because my chosen specialty is pretty undesirable to most nurses to begin with.

Is this why 85% of nurses are rude and generally unpleasant to work with?

Nurses also have a reputation of being former high school mean girls, for whatever that's worth.

They’re treated like shit by patients and their experience will basically always be considered irrelevant if a brand new doctor disagrees (I get why, but it’s still gotta be irritating). I’d be rude too.

I guess. I'm treated like shit by nurses, doctors, and patients daily; yet I somehow manage not to be rude. I was curious if it came from them not exactly wanting to be in the roles they're in.

If a lot of things smell like shit to you, try checking your shoes. If this is the kind of respect you usually give them, I'm not shocked you're getting it back.

Honestly, I sometimes miss the earlier days of Lemmy when folks were generally kind to each other by default. Seems like this kind of comment is becoming all too common.

I know, it's very rude to respond to someone sharing a story about their job with being derisive towards most people who do it.

Lmao, wow. I certainly didn't give any to you, and this was your reaction. I was curious if their unpleasant disposition was due to not wanting to be in the positions their in. It appears it is just ya'lls state of being. Though, in my case, I'm sure there is classism involved considering where I work in the hospital.
