My mom was a nurse. For her there was no down time. Usually she couldn't even stop to eat lunch. She'd just grab a granola bar or something and keep going. Hospitals are dangerously understaffed.

Yet there were still some people who would stand around chatting or whatever while her arthritic ass ran around the floor taking care of people.

In most lines of work, that's perfectly fine. In a hospital, someone can die if there isn't enough help.

But again, this is entirely the hospital management's fault for failing to properly staff their hospitals.

Whoa, not what I was trying to say at all. Nor was I implying that OP or anyone else here is lazy.

There's a huge difference though between not getting a break and not being willing to do what is expected of you (within reason), and this isn't really something that can be generalized so easily.

Again, I never meant to imply anything about any particular person, so I apologize if it came across that way.
