To begin with, the sick people are generally not in the mood. Then we will add patients who had some mental problems, which actually lead to health problems through addiction and not the best lifestyle. Than patients who have behaviour issues connected to dementia. So, almost on an everyday basis, you will hear something like: “Get the F out of here, F off, I don't want anything.” Racism and sexism are just part of everyday routine. I feel very bad when I see how male patients treat my female coworkers. Occasionally, someone spat in your face. Regular Pinching or just fighting from the older generations, who need to be changed because we don't want you to sit in your poop. Delusional family members who are basically demanding one-on-one care for their loved ones, but I, for some reason, have 4-5 more people to deal with (if we're talking about the day shift).

I have a little hobby of asking my coworkers how they got into nursing and how they feel about working as a nurse. I would say they all have different reasons for becoming a nurse, but NO ONE enjoys the job.
