My heart goes out to the good nurses. Putting up with people in general is incredibly draining, especially when they're acting out while you're trying to help them.
It helps knowing that you're seeing people at their worst. Most of us know not to take it personally when we're insulted, or even attacked, because we know the person in front of us isn't acting like themselves. It's the person who's back in the hospital every month and consistently a jerk that wears us down the most IMO
