“We are people not machines”

Overworking them like that to the point they have to take naps while on shift can be dangerous. Drowsiness can impair how well you perform your job and that's most definitely not ideal for someone operating on multiple people in one day. That can lead to fatalities and lawsuits.

Jesus Christ that's awful

I like how the lady with the baby is kinda smiling, it's cute.

My dream is to become a doctor and this post has motivated me a lot. I know it's dangerous being so tired when you're at work, but they do it because that's their passion, and I'm pretty sure they do it with love. I'd like to be like them some day.

I am in the process to become an RN and during breaks or when you get told to you can take a nap. I've spend several nights in the hospital. Sometimes the patient doesn't even want me to leave, because they don't have anyone.

And they still get paid shitty

Heroes

I have a 6 year old patient and her mom doesn't always come because she needs to work to pay bills so I stayed with the little girl the whole night until her mom came so she wouldn't be scared during her treatments. Lets just say that is why I love my job.
