DANGER

i have a lot to say about my job.  about everything really.

for instance...

today i cared for a 26 year old woman with multiple psychiatric disorders.  she has attempted suicide more than 100 times.  and has procreated twice.  her children will never know her.  they are probably better off for that.  

and...

last thursday, my patient died at 9:03 in the morning.  her daughter-in-law requested a hug from me even though we just met.  and she said, "i don't know how you do what you do.  it must be so hard."  

it is...

but all i feel like saying at the moment is, my colleague got poop IN HIS EYE yesterday.  

nursing is dangerous.
