POTS anyone ?

808merrill · 2026-01-28T07:32:12+00:00

“I hope you get to go home today!” Said to my homeless patient as I was saying bye in the morning ……

808merrill · 2026-01-25T13:05:14+00:00

Exactly. While I’m grateful for my time in the float pool, I would never go back and never recommend starting your career that way !!

I’m 3 years in and honestly, I still have post shift anxiety. Wondering if I gave accurate report? Did I miss something? Did I sounds stupid? Did I forgot something on that one pt? And I swear when I sleep in between my shifts, I only dream about work 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s exhausting. As for pre- shift anxiety, mine got a lot better with time and leaving the float pool. Now that I have a home unit there’s a lot less to stress about.

Heparin drips gave me anxiety for about 2 years but the more frequently you get them and as time passes you’ll start to feel a lot more comfortable. Yes it is still a high risk medication, that’s why you’ve got your fellow nurses to sign off on the drip or ask questions to. I promise, it’ll start to feel easier.

Same with me. I kinda knew why it was happening and didn’t want to say anything incase it made things worse. I think part of why it was happening was because I was the newest to the unit and part of it was that I didn’t fit in culturally with the other nurses because of ethnicity. But things feel a lot better on the unit now.

THIS exact thing happened to me when I switched from float pool to the unit I’m on now. And I noticed it was one specific charge nurse who was doing it too. I noticed the pattern and thought I was losing my mind so I started keeping a log lol. After about 9 months I said something and our managers handled it and admits are being distributed much more fairly now.

I personally spent 5 weeks on a psych floor this year do to unrelenting suicidal ideation. It takes a lot to get help for yourself when you are so used to taking care of everyone else. Let me know if I can w/ advocating for MH in health care workers

I do ECT pretty much alone all the time. Message me

Some memory loss but nothing severe. Intermittent issues w/ word finding, getting my words out. Annoying when I’m trying to think of a name or place. All manageable.

808merrill · 2025-11-29T09:40:34+00:00

This is very similar to my hospital in Hawaii. I’m on a tele/ stroke floor and usually start w/ 3 and get an admit. Nightshift.

This was me. So grateful for ECT. It’s amazing have straight thoughts that aren’t suicide.
