Nursing is a tough job. Many  people think that nursing is as simple as giving medications, helping the doctor do his rounds, writing on  patients’ charts, and then calling it a day. Amidst the glamour and heroism that come with wearing an all-white uniform, nursing is not at all a bed of roses. Nurses have to endure countless hours standing up during a surgical procedure. They are tasked to handle bodily fluids and excreta. More often than not,  they have to deal with demanding  clients . Sometimes, nurses hold their bladder in agony  just to finish their charting on time. Most nurses only have two days off every week. Frequently, they miss important family gatherings and events because of their strict schedule. With the prestige of being a nurse comes an unbearable amount of stress of epic proportions.
