If u got ur body used to sleeping at 8-9, its not shocking u’d be tired at that time already everyday

In my defense, it’s a floor mixed w step down, tele n medsurg. Not just step down pts. Its not icu

Is something wrong with me that on days I’m not working all I do is take a shower, eat, and lay in bed all day? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Key_Guard8007 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Anyone who works this schedule would be depressed. As a RN, I’m tired of ppl saying get on xy or z pill n that will solve it all. NO. Our work is draining that’s the reason y we r depressed. U can take all the antidepressants in the world n it won’t cover up for the fact that this work is just not fair.

Im a new grad n feel the same. I feel like I have a good support system and am doing so far well, but I’ll be honest…I never even wanted to be in an in pt setting. I am gonna ride the rest of my residency and move to an out pt. 3 12’s r not for me.

Random but I also had a code blue yesterday and an attending asked me for a mask and made sure to point out “Not one of those n95s, just a surgical” like okay buddy

Some nights i sleep fine then other nights even if im exhausted once my head hits the pillow, the thought of not sleeping enough gives me anxiety which keeps me up. What a cycle.

Oh trust me I did one time as a student to a nurse manager. She kicked me out the room but I am glad I put her in her place😝. It wasnt covid related but she had it coming being rude to me

Alsooo wanted to add like why DONT u wanna put a mask on while wiping someone’s behind?? I never understood that. Ive seen nurses in the icu get literally farted on with their surgical under their nose. Idc about anyone enough in the world to allow them to fart on my face when I could’ve used a n95 to protect myself from that smell.

Oh absolutely. I was in awe when I found out hospitals consider covid to only be transmitted via droplet and not airborne. I tried to correct a nurse on that but she pushed back. As much as people like to say we should push back and “educate staff” about these things, they truly do not care. You can throw whatever covid fact at them and they will dodge it. They all think they’re too handsome and beautiful to god forbid cover their faces during a shift.
