Been working in healthcare since 2017, and the last two and a half years have been as a nurse in CVICU.

This is definitely pervasive in other specialties but I’ve noticed the vast majority of women choose or request to go to a cardiac rehab facility and cite to staff they just don’t want to be forced to care for their husbands.

It absolutely baffles me that a woman can have her chest split open, ribs broken and mended together, and still be expected to care for someone at home directly after recharge.

Nurses of other specialties, what’s your experience?
