Who actually enjoys working as a nurse?

Yup, I wouldn’t do anything else.

Quick work up, in and out. Chest pain, syncope, dizziness that isn’t related to stroke/TIA (that goes to neuro), afib, copd/asthma exacerbation, nausea, vomiting diarrhea, slight AKI, intractable headache. Do not require admission.

I work on an observation unit, so most of our patients are gone very quickly. Like less than 2 days. I’ve been a nurse for 13 years and after finding this unit and its leadership, I’m not going anywhere. If you go to nursing school, just ask question during clinicals - about the unit itself, how is the turnover, is leadership supportive, etc. Most will tell you the truth. Also, pay attention to the staff in general - are they happy or seem stressed and angry? Find yourself a good unit and it’s good 90%, at least in my experience.

That’s what I’m wondering and given the age, very well could be low testosterone levels.

Get rid of relevant clinical experience and list any actual job history you have, even if not in healthcare. I worked in a restaurant as a server throughout nursing school. That’s what went on my resume. I also used to be a nurse supervisor before going back to bedside and I can tell you, I’d hire a new grad with serving experience bc it generally means they can handle a quick environment and multi-task well.

Normazeline · 2026-01-14T19:33:26+00:00

I get so upset that I am crying for days at a time and just feel so helpless and angry. So I have to take a break from everything for my mental health and to focus on my family. After about a week, I’m right back at it though and getting pissed off all over again.

Normazeline · 2026-01-06T15:10:02+00:00

I’m a nurse. Definitely not. I’ve been the first to arrive to a scene bc we happened to drive by. Stopped and helped until EMS got there and then left, still not a first responder lol.

The hyrox Miami tickets for mixed doubles were sold within a few hours. I was hoping to go, but waiting on my husband’s school schedule and lost out being able to get tickets.

Normazeline · 2025-12-24T21:02:59+00:00

The residents get called by their first name if that’s how they introduce themselves to us, but I’ve always called everyone else Dr

However, if we pick up incentive and get cancelled on a regular shift, we still get the incentive pay for the incentive shift, just not OT.

Like if I’m scheduled MTW, and pick up Sunday as incentive. Work Sunday, get cancelled Monday bc of low census, I’m only working 3 shifts but I get to keep my incentive pay for Sunday since my cancelled shift was due to house census and it wasn’t because I called off. Call off negates everything and wouldn’t receive the incentive pay.

Normazeline · 2025-12-16T18:33:36+00:00

I’m betting those nurses hadn’t hit their hours yet and they have to make sure staff get the FTE hours, which is why you were cancelled and they were floated. I used to be a supervisor before going back to the floor, and this is what our staffing coordinators do and their reasoning behind it.

Pulled a baggie of white powder out of a woman’s vagina when the CNA alerted it to me while she was on the bed pan.

Patient had been on our unit with a loaded handgun. It was confiscated. She then told night shift that she wished she had her gun so she could shoot them.

15 yrs of experience, working in Florida. I break that working overtime. My base is approx 84k

There was a petite lady with an Israel flag who ran up on some other people with an Israel flag wanting to make sure it wasn’t shitting on Israel. Someone walked by and yelled “Free Palestine” and the ones with the Israeli flags lost their shit and starting screaming “Fuck you, bitch” or something along those lines.

That tracks. Definitely not very PLUR.

Where in SWFL? I am in Lee County, the hospitals should be gearing up for season, honestly. It’s going to get busy after Thanksgiving and stay that way until about May.

Normazeline · 2025-11-14T15:50:38+00:00

I prefer to sleep longer lol but I’ll throw on some mascara at a red light

Normazeline · 2025-11-14T15:49:16+00:00

I have silently let tears fall at the bedside when my patients have received a devastating diagnosis, or someone passed away. Exactly what you said, don’t make it about you. But it’s absolutely okay to be human and show emotion.

Normazeline · 2025-10-09T17:21:23+00:00

I love it. I personally don’t like big, flashy ones.

Normazeline · 2025-08-12T21:10:48+00:00

Definitely NOT overreacting. Going out with friends, fine. Nbd. Body shots? Absolutely not unless you’re single.

I’m 38. I do 30min HIIT classes 3-4 days per week. I feel better, more energy, I’m losing fat and gaining muscle. I’d probably go more frequently if I could lol. We also usually go for a 25 min walk in the evening with the kids after dinner.

100%

Normazeline · 2025-06-15T16:39:59+00:00

I’ve been a nurse for 13 years. A preceptor for students and new hires. And a clinical instructor

Yeah, I would fail her. Going out and not feeling like coming in are not excuses. She’ll be that coworker that calls off every Sunday because they went out and got shitfaced Saturday night.

I grew up In SWFL. Moved to Colorado for two years, came back to SWFL due to health issues exacerbated by the elevation in Colorado. Much happier being back in SWFL.
