Is being a nurse a good job for someone with Asperger's syndrome?
>>84168034I'm a nurse, probably not for most wards/specialities. Maybe ICU if you have the smart aspergers that makes you retain information and anal about details. As someone with autistic tendencies I get sick of having to talk to patients, nurses and doctors, lot of time I just want to do my work non-verbally
Only in places that focus more on paperwork than patient care. You are going to be over-stimulated in no time depending on the setting.
Dude, being a nurse is the worst profession in this world after trash sorter and before canalization cleaner. You will absolutely kill yourself as an assburger
Only if you want a lot of money and have no problem being verbally and physically abused. I'm glad I'm now out of it.
Be a medical assistant or phlebotomist instead.
if you come off detached, rude, and bitchy (even if male), then make a perfect nurse OP.
As long as you work midnight shifts, and outside the hospital setting like a group home or traveling in-home care like those who check up on those who are on TPN. Or a place like a kidney dialysis center. If you work in a hospital, then prepare to experience alot of abuse. Patients yelling at you, sometimes them getting physical, other nurses being bitches, making sure your documentation is done or you are in shit, sometimes it being so busy you cannot even use the bathroom, etc. If you are a woman, be prepared to be hit on, flashed, and being asked to "nurse" some of the pervs.

>>84168363i feel like this went from "damn, women are tough and resilient" then ended with "damn, women have become whiny little babies."most older women i know don't have to brace themselves for the shocking trauma of a guy getting his dick out, they'll just laugh or be unphased.
