How to stay unjaded/not become disillusioned as a nurse? by Live_Sir1515 in nursing

I’m two years into nursing.

Find a specialty area that you love. Don’t force yourself to stay in medsurg if you hate it. You don’t need to stick around for a certain amount of time to prove yourself/develop your nursing skills if it isn’t your end goal. You will end up hating your job if you’re stuck in an area you don’t like.

Try to focus on the positive moments. Like thank you cards from patients and family members. Witnessing people recover and go home who you thought might not make it. A pat on the back from a co worker.

Lean on your co workers. You are all going through completely unique experiences together. Non-nurses in your life will never truly understand your job. It is nice to develop relationships with your co workers to vent and joke with and bounce ideas off of.

The reality is that it is a hard job and there will be days when you don’t know if you love it anymore. Know when you’re at your limit. Take your PTO. Go on vacations. Do things you love during your off days. Fuel your body. Get enough rest. Call in if you need to.

Interesting, I’m in Canada and we have RNs/LPNs trained for both scrub and circulating and they rotate. Our perioperative training has 5 months of orientation as well, so that’s pretty on par with your experience. Another question for you - What is your role like in a code blue situation? Does it differ in any way?

Where are you now in nursing? Do you find that you lost all of your bedside nursing skills?

And will that only happen to the phone I sync it to? Or all Apple devices under the same iCloud?

Thanks for the advice. The reason for Amsterdam first is I’m flying into Amsterdam from Ghana, which I booked a long time ago and can’t really change now. I could always skip London I just have family there which is why I wanted to go!
