Wow, don't know what kind of nursing home experience you had, but I can assure you the majority of nurses I've worked with (including me), are not pieces of shit, do not dope people up with opioids, and generally work our butts off to make sure our patients are well cared for. For the most part anyone getting any kind of narcotic is either in a terminal condition or has intractable pain. Doses are very, very carefully given, and just as meticulously accounted for. We're not running around with syringe in hand looking to dope anyone up.

Good for you. In lower income nursing homes, it's pretty bad. My mother's nurse looked her right in the eye as she removed her earrings and took them.
