Why did you come here?

I've never heard anyone say:

"I want to become a nurse so that I can help people who don't want my help."

"I want to become a nurse so that I can take verbal and physical abuse from people who are angry, confused, insane, drunk, high or just weren't raised better."

"I want to become a nurse so that I can see my tax dollars being spent to save people who don't care how much it cost because someone else will pay for their care."

"I want to become a nurse so that I can wrestle with +400 lbs of flesh so that owner of flesh doesn't get bed sores."

These thoughts were inspired by one patient. I guess this would be the ugly in:

I love this job; the good, the bad, the UGLY, and the stupid.
