When the nurse exited, after twelve minutes, the second I.V. still wasn't in, but Warden Ornoski, not realizing this and having found the delay excruciating, said, "Proceed".
(Note that I wasn't under the impression I would die from a kidney stone, but was actually asking to be killed to cease the pain from a kidney stone. It's an important distinction.) Unamused, the nurse exited to retrieve some of the most potent painkillers available through modern medicine.
This means that on average, formally trained nursing professionals exit their initial occupation less frequently than formally trained workers in occupational field 48.
Unfortunately, the Microcensus is not suitable for analyzing why formally trained nursing professionals exit the occupation that they learned, to work in another area.
The multinational European Nurses Early Exit (NEXT) study showed that intention to leave the nursing profession (occupational turnover) provided a good estimate of subsequent decisions to actually quit [ 14].
The fact that some nurses will exit the profession in which they have been trained [ 9], and that semi-skilled labour nurses may enter the occupational field, is not accounted for.
At other nursing homes, exits are often marked with "Stop" signs, or blocked with the kind of fluorescent banners that police use to cordon off crime scenes.
