County hospital lives up to the hype
After applying for per diem hospital jobs for a solid year, I FINALLY got hired! This particular hospital was a county hospital in a neighborhood notorious for crime and violence. Let me mention, I grew up in a upper middle class, very safe neighborhood. As my coworker put it, me starting this job was like putting a puppy in an alligator den. The VERY FIRST patient I had on the very first day was a man who was shot multiple times in a liquor store.
