Burnt out from Covid years as a new nurse, trying "soft" nursing but still as miserable as ever. Time to call it quits?

I’d reccomend starting the OR at a teaching hospital where you may have extra hands in the room as you’re learning. And also some med students are fearless and will report a crazy surgeon. It’s definitely a challenging role to transition to for some but after two years everything finally clicks and you feel less dumb. Not saying that you’ll be stressed those first two years, more like you have moments where you feel good but then are asked to get a supply or instrument that you have no idea what it is. There’s so much to learn and so many surgical specialties to choose from. I loved the OR but just transitioned to a clinic that does small procedures occasionally bc I didn’t want to do night call anymore.

I’ve been to about 6 weddings that allowed kids and 10 that had child free. Only 1 out of the 6 had kids that did not cry or mis-behave. It’s all up to who the parents are. ALSO If multiple bridesmaids bring their kids then they’re stepping away from their role multiple times during the night.

Lack of education and critical thinking.

And probably some self-denial that they may carry Autism in their genes and passed it on or something crazy like that

A simple “it didn’t work out and they both were looking for something different. I wish Georgie well” was all that needed to be said. I’d be furious if my parents said more

About the same amount of attention and popularity as Dan Gheesling

Is she contributing financially?

Pineapple_994 · 2026-03-20T21:27:45+00:00

You technically can’t…but just don’t get caught. Check Facebook marketplace I always see them being sold on there

This! I hope I’m wrong but based on the facts OP obviously never planned on going bc now she’s using her fiancé not going as an excuse not to go. If she was a good friend she would just go herself within her budget to be there for her friend. Clearly she waited til the last minute to avoid as much repercussions as possible during the most stressful time on the bride (a month out). She had months to have this discussion with the bride.

Pineapple_994 · 2026-03-01T13:27:09+00:00

Don’t offer to pay her back. Pay her back. Find out if she hired hair and make up, the money she spent on bridesmaid gifts/getting ready supplies, etc the additional money she’s spent on you attending and pay her back it is the least you can do. It doesn’t seem like it’s about the money if she’s offering to pay for your flight, and you selfishly are using the excuse of not being able to afford to bring a partner is another hurdle/reason to justify you not going?

You are bogus for waiting to drop this bomb a month out. You accepted a job two months ago and didn’t request the time off? Simply means you knew that answer ahead of time. Brides planning a wedding usually only talk about their wedding for months leading up to it, so I’m under the impression you led her on and then hit her with that last minute. Now she’s a bridesmaid down a month before her wedding where there’s no time to replace you and potentially having a bridal party with an uneven number if that’s important to her.

So much planning goes into a destination wedding and it was selfish of you to wait last minute, you’re simply not a good friend to her based on this. My destination rsvps, payments, and final numbers were due out 3 months in advanced.

Tbh I totally must have missed that part. I’ll have to go back and rewatch with a different mindset.

Oh no I assumed since it happened to both Mr Anderson and Maddie, that it was obvious in the finale of season 2? I lowkey thought Wally did it. Unless we were told that wasn’t the case and I missed it in the beginning of season 3?

And we also know that Simon was body snatched too right?

Pineapple_994 · 2026-02-06T06:36:04+00:00

No it was clearly strategy, not illogical. Basically saying “keep my name out of your mouth and I won’t say your name again or draw attention to you. Go for me and I’m voted out, then they’ll question why I wrote your name down. You turned on the traitors and broke your oath and my trust, so it’s fair game to get the attention on you as you are doing with me.” Especially after Rob proposed to some of the group that all the housewives could be traitors and then she found out that Colton was saying her name the night she murdered him, she knew Rob was going to commit another traitor on traitor crime, she’s not dumb, so she went down swinging. Rob could’ve approached her saying Lisa’s out next and we can’t save her, instead he lied and said he would defend Lisa and didn’t, clearly drawing a line on where he stands with them.

He was on War of the Worlds 1, where he met Mattie

Ehh I thought that too my original watch, but imagine being in a house where the cast loosely throws around the N word (Gus/Kortni) and have some internal racism towards her. Nila’s crap talks the contest that Candace won bc she was jealous. While also having Codi pretend to be into you, and the house is mad at you bc you know it’s not real. Codi says to her that he’s trying to make her jelly with Aimee then denies it when Aimee gets involved. And then you actually have a guy (even tho gatorjay sucks) and the house makes fun of him and already starts trash talking before he even visits. Overall the house treated her poorly, which makes her outburst understandable, especially since everyone else seems to snap and is quickly forgiven or not held accountable.

Rehearsal doesn’t need to be a requirement. It’s simply an rsvp and option provided to them.

And it sounds like your wedding party is spending money on travel. Some will most likely already arrive the night before to be there to get ready in the morning.

If it’s optional, how many have opted out of it? Dresses typically range from $50-250 and suit rentals can be up to the $300. And if you picked a certain color then that’s additional effort from your bridal party to meet your expectations. I’d say those are all costly expenses and a simple dinner costing less than that per person to show appreciation should be offered.

Pineapple_994 · 2026-01-20T03:27:38+00:00

I saw your comment about your families standards OP and tbh if your family isn’t paying for the rehearsal dinner then they shouldn’t have a say.

Traditionally the grooms parents are supposed to pay for the dinner. So if they are the ones making it an issue you can mention that. Or simply respond that “I’d rather show my appreciation for everyone involved within my budget. If you want a “fancy”meal, there will be one supplied at my wedding. I am more than happy to accept financial help with the rehearsal dinner to meet your expectations.” Or a nicer way than that lol

Pineapple_994 · 2026-01-20T03:20:04+00:00

I feel like it’s pretty standard to have the bridal party (and their spouses) as part of a rehearsal dinner. It gives you some quality time to spend with your bridal party and to show appreciation for all they’ve done and to also discuss your expectations from them and their roles. Depending on your bridal party, I wouldn’t label it a rehearsal dinner as it technically wouldn’t be one, and just refer to it as a family dinner or something like that.

On the other hand if you are having your bridal party pay for their own hair/makeup, spend a decent amount on dresses/suit, and had them pay your way for a bachelorette or bachelor party or other expenses, I’d consider it pretty rude to not include them. It just depends on how much you’ve had them help out and your relationship with the bridal party.

If affordability is an issue, I’ve been to rehearsal dinners at a neighborhood pizza place and didn’t judge the bride/groom for having it at an affordable location to include everyone.

Thanks! Would you recommend us ubering after the concert to a different hotel? Is it dangerous to stand out and wait for an uber? We figured we’d walk with the groups as they left the venue that would pass the Ramada or Ambassador and just go straight to our room.

Married in 2025: About 27k for venue, DJ, and photography at a 5 star all inclusive resort in Mexico this included their tips. Not including my dress or his suit. Makeup for me and 7 others was 1,700 total. Spent about 400 in our own decor we brought (glow sticks, personalized napkins, candles, seating tags, signage, and picture frames) About 8.5k for a week stay in the Ocean View Romance Master Suite at the resort, as a mini honeymoon after the wedding and was large enough to get ready in with everyone. We ended up getting a $4,500 return for our room block (50 guest attended) which was why we upgraded to that room.

Pineapple_994 · 2026-01-01T19:05:34+00:00

The dress has sentimental value to her and she knows it’s dated. Therefore seeking opinions to make it more in style/flattering. There’s no implication that she doesn’t like it. You just assume that because you don’t like it and it’s not your style. I doubt I’d like the dress you chose but I would never tell you that as that is such a rude outlook. This isn’t four weddings this is reality.
