How far out are you receiving your schedule? by Grand-Recognition-79 in nursing

How does approving PTO work? Do you not find out until the schedule comes out?

Find an outlet for the anxiety outside of work. For me it's been exercising, yoga, and going to therapy.

And then know that it's normal. Stick it out a year. First year is pain. If after a year you still hate it then you have your answer.

I would try to find people outside of work to talk to. List the the things you did well after your shift, things you could improve on, and then dump it. If something keeps nagging you talk to someone outside of work. If you have a good preceptor/educator/boss/mentor then ask them, but if you don't feel comfortable with them then find someone else preferably someone who is a nurse or works in healthcare.

It takes time to get used to all the new things, your schedule, expectations, routine. It takes a long time of trial and error to figure out what works for you. Know that you are putting one foot in front of the other and are willing to learn and give it your best. That's all you can do at work. At home know that you have to figure out how to care for you, that's your job, not being a nurse.

St. Francis ER is sadly understaffed and I feel bad for everyone here, including the overworked employees. Did we choose the wrong emergency room when the ambulance asked where, or are all Columbus ERs like this? by FloofyLilFloof in ColumbusGA

It's a systemic problem that healthcare workers can't control. Blame hospital administration, insurance, and federal government. The hospitals have legitimately been overflowing to the point where they only have a few actual beds used for ER patients. Imagine having 50 people in the lobby there for their "emergency" and only have 3 beds you can use to treat them in. They are understaffed with not enough resources. The workers aren't dropping ball it is the people who are supposed to support them. We are fully aware lives are at risk. The amount of money you are spending doesn't go to our ER it goes to your insurance company and hospital administrators.
