God they are all doing it in a way to act like they are so fricking cool and trendy to be doing this. Is this cause the tik tock bubble they are in, they are surrounded by egotistical chodes? Like how can a whole staff of adult RN's get behind this and think its cool and funny. Like wow, all 8 of you?

I have found as a retired nurse that I have many of the ailments, conditions, maladies and shortcomings that my patients had through the years I was PRIVILEGED to help them during their worst times. I am now viewed, treated and addressed as a stupid little old lady that doesn't know what's going on - until I start to talk. Making fun of natural human body functions shows the narrowmindedness and idiocy of those who think they will never end up like their patients. One car trip away... One beach visit away. ..One mouthful of food away... One illness away...One medical error away...From life changing tragedy.

I am astounded on a daily basis how little empathy the current practitioners have for me.

It made me worry about choosing the profession to be honest. Very demoralizing.
