Flight attendant slides away! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Its' very difficult when you deal with the public. Some days I wish I could work in a room and didn't have to see/talk to a soul. Working as a nurse, you get close to patients who have long stays and long illnesses. One case, for example, was a patient and family the majority of the nurses got really close to. The patient went into cardiac arrest and no matter what we did it was no use. The entire staff was upset and not handling it well. Don't you know another patient came to the hallway outside the room complaining about the "service in this hospital" and threatening to write a letter to the CEO. I have been called nasty things like b--ch by patients who have had too much to drink and fat ( I weighed 122 at the time

.) It's not easy.

I've been a flight attendant for 20 years and I can totally relate to him!!! I don't think I would go out in a blaze of glory though because I still want my retirement benefits!!

I've never sweared at a passenger, atleast not in front of their face!

I found nursing to be a pleasure after working as a waitress and bartender; but sometimes it depends on where you work. Certain areas in a hospital can be extremely stressful....ER for example. My favorite area was oncology/hematology. You never had patients flipping out...they were so wonderful in spite of what they were going through.

When you see what he ends up making, you might rethink that.

I saw that this morning and found it very entertaining.

I can't believe what he is facing over all this.
