Summary
Due to all of my time being spent at hospitals I grew not only a knowledge for the environment and techniques needed to survive a shift, but I have grown to be reliable, hardworking, and patient in the field. You can never win when dealing with a rude individual, but you can always de-escalate and work with them.
