I get that nursing is a calling to help others. But when the others are full on murderers, what then? Maybe because I don't have that calling is why I rant like this, probably. However, if I was that nurse in SD, I think I would be going on disability due to anxiety of the asses killing her or her family while she tries to keep them alive. What an untenable situation.
