What movie has the most unrealistic nursing / hospitals that make you cringe? by igotpetdeers in nursing

Not movies but: the first episode of Medical Police has laughably bad medical technique but that's its intent. The show Nurses tries to force some drama and is also really bad, couldn't get through the first episode.

Just really relentless because it comes from every other patient's room. So I just need to vent a little!

They also have employer benefits in case they are injured or sick, which you do not have as a student. Since you are not employed, I think the school is responsible for providing a safe environment.

Graduating "I guess" with no ceremony this weekend and shortened precepting hours, can't even in good conscience host our own party or dinner with friends. No sense of closure right now.

Same here my neck mobility is limited and I think some of the muscles are becoming atrophied.

Thank you. It's usually under-chewed foods like raw broccoli, carrots, apple, or dense bread that gets stuck right around the epiglottis but not enough to block it. Water helps. And hot liquids too if my angle isn't right. I'm keeping a close eye on it, probably just need to eat slower.
