    My spouse and the many others sticking with their careers after being oncology ICU nurses during the worst of the pandemic. They know it’s a thankless job and they’re treated like shit, the healthcare system is a disaster, families and patients scream at them and attack them, the job certainly isn’t about money, it puts your physical and mental health at risk, but they’ll do it anyway for that one person who gets to ring the bell and say their cancer is no longer detectable.
