Nurses

This is so true, nurses doing the actual work don't get many breaks...

But where do they play cards?

They're busy out running marathons:

Nurse denied marathon world record -- because she wasn't wearing a skirt

I can see the problem with bathroom breaks for the female nurses because every break ties up two people. Chicks can only go to the bathroom alone at home. And if they have small kids they can't do that either. :haha:

I'm kidding, I have much respect for nurses, they do all the work the medical profession gets credit for. Every time I'm an inpatient I send flowers to the floor nurses when I get home. I'd like to think it brightens their day.

Patients in hospitals and nursing homes see flowers thinking it's such a nice touch and so thoughtful of the proprietors. They're never told when the flowers are leftovers that funeral homes have donated.

Loss leader?

In Pennsylvania, they spend break times on hobbies like photography.

A Pennsylvania nurse has been arrested after she allegedly took “explicit and private” photos of at least 17 elderly patients to send to a coworker. …

It said she did it to humiliate them. I doubt they were humiliated, or even knew it was happening.

Most people probably think of humiliation as being injurious to self esteem. Its definition; however, includes being injured in the esteem of others. It becomes a dignity issue and in healthcare settings dignity issues, even for patients who can't realize them, are GINORMOUS.

Keep in mind that for those who aren't self aware enough, there's someone with a power of attorney for healthcare whose opinion carries as much weight as the patient's would under normal circumstances. Violations can result not only in adverse administrative actions like job loss and loss of professional license; but, also criminal prosecution.

Why are the pretty ones always crazy?

xoB, they're flying in a specialist to administer your enema:

[SIZE="3"]Oldest working nurse celebrates 94th birthday on shift at Tacoma General Hospital[/SIZE]

… She’s been working as nurse since 1946 and plans to stay at Tacoma General Hospital “until they kick me out.”

Rigney, believed to be the oldest registered nurse in the country, turned 94 Wednesday.

She repeatedly joked that everyone had it wrong and she was celebrating her 49th birthday. ...

If she wants to stick it up my ass she'll have to get in line. :yesnod:
