The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?
The nurse mom who barely gets to see her kids has been a pretty common TV trope as long as I’ve been watching TV lol
I’m not saying you’re wrong about your own job, but I don’t find it surprising in the slightest that people don’t see nursing as flexible.
