A nurse once told me to “mind my own fucking business” when I said “are you fucking kidding me?” to seeing her pull off her mask to cough into her hand and go back to the shit she was working on during covid lock downs. In the ER nurses station, surrounded by nurses with asks completely down or with noses poking out.
May I tell you the story of my wife, a doctor, who send us to her parents in lockdown, worked her ass of in full protection a couple of hundred kilometers south, seeing our two little kids only at the weekends, if there were absolutely no symptoms and she didn’t have a shift the day before, for month? When she didn’t not have to work, she sat alone in our flat contemplating on the newly dead people who where to young to die.
Wearing a fucking mask was not the part that sucked during lockdown.
man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID
Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid
Effing incompetent nurse stabbed me with a hypodermic, then insisted she could go forward with injecting medication into my baby. Why would she need to sterilize or replace it?

On the one hand you’re 1000% right but man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID, I probably would’ve been close to snapping 24/7.

I really dont think they meant the masks sucked. I think they meant more like what you just described.
I know. It was more a post covidal rant at the nurses. Even if you are at your limit those masks are self protection.
Yeah for sure, it must’ve been that much more frustrating for the nurses that understood the importance of PPE having to work with ones that didn’t.

this instance was just particularly memorable.
