Nurse... nurses

Overheard from the conversation of nursing interns:

Intern 1: How would this hospital be functional if there will be no interns?

My comment: How would you learn if not because of this hospital? Because it is a government hospital, you can try to poke and prick someone’s arm to insert an IV? Without much concern of being sued especially if you are dealing with patients in the ward. Ive been here for almost two months’ weekends and Ive seen how many times interns tried to successfully hit a vein for an IV. Can you do it in a private hospital? No. Right? It would even be better if there will be no intern so the government will be forced to hire for competent nurses and staff and not just interns and so the patient can receive what are entitled for them.
