Most Satisfying Career #2

So today Yahoo News said that Nursing is the 2nd most satisfying career.The article said that "Nursing careers are never boring." That is a true statement...examples:
  1. I have been peed on, bit and scratched....but I have also been kissed, hugged and told "I love you"
  2. I have been called so many awful names...but I have also been called adorable, honey and sweetheart.
  3. They have yelled at me and cussed me....but they have also held my hands as I cry.
It also stated that the people who work in nursing careers are "as unique as the people who become our patients." This is a false statement...the patients are more unique because:
  1. They are the ones dying and yet they comfort me.
  2. They might scream and throw a fit when I help them because they are scared and dont know who I am, and yet as I'm leaving the room they still tell me they love me.
  3. They have Alzheimer's, dementia, and so much more and yet they keep smiling.
You know people that have to tell themselves everyday that they love their job just so they will go to work?
Im not one of them.
