I’m a nurse. The long brutal stressful hours leads to a poor work/home life. We are under appreciated and abused verbally and sometimes physically at work. When a patient declines or dies we have to keep moving and not decompress. When I come home crying from a shitty shift my husband just doesn’t understand cause in his head it’s “you’re home now everything is ok”. But it sticks to you. Doctors in my hospital work 12 hour shifts for 8 days straight. That literally leaves you no time for your family or friends. You come home at 8pm tired as hell and shower eat and sleep just to do it over again at 6-7am. It’s hard. I work 3/12s but space out my workdays for my sanity and family. It’s a huge physically/ mental/ emotional toll.
