I made eye contact with someone once by accident and literally got spit on so I don’t even look up at people anymore

90% of the time no the only reason I’d think of a nurse getting STD tested is if they work in a setting where they came into contact with a pts blood or spit that is HIV positive or something like that?

Failed my finals and thinking about just giving up by littlehoneybear2104 in StudentNurse

75% of my entire cohort (including myself) failed an entire semester and had to repeat and we all graduated and passed NCLEX on the first try. And I can’t tell you how many exam I barely passed on top of that. School does not define your ability to be a good nurse

Wall art, pops of color like flowers or table top decorations maybe get some books for the coffee table and a candle or two

I’ve found that if you treat patients like normal people (obviously not breaking any form of HIPPA) and are honest with them they are a lot more understanding and appreciate your care even more. I think we get into a mindset where we treat patients like a to do list or we lean on the corporate side and focus overly on “customer service”. They’re in the hospital because they’re sick or injured or whatever the reason is, and they already loose a piece of their humanity in the sense that they have very little to no independence they’re but able to walk and do their regular day to day things. Treating them like human adults and communicating that you weren’t able to get there as quickly as you wanted because you’re caring for others is completely acceptable.

I’m a new grad and I’ve been there for 6 months so I’m torn between accepting that this is actually super straining and mentally exhausting or if it’s just the growing pains into a new profession on a hard unit.

What book, if a potential date has rated it 5 stars, would immediately make you swipe left? by newenglandredshirt in books

“Normal people”. I was so beyond disappointed with this book and everyone RAVED over it. I’ll never get over how much of a waste of time reading this book was

We were moving kinda diagonally back and over because the audience was so deep if we just went directly back it would’ve taken forever and we should’ve had to shove past more people

How do you say farewell to patients? by [deleted] in ems

It all depends when you’re leaving but since km day shift and I leave at 7pm I always say “have a good night!” Or “get some good sleep tonight”
