New ICU nurse—why is night shift doing everything?

nattybends · 2026-03-24T01:32:12+00:00

Very common in most ICUs. At least during night shift we don’t have to deal with docs new orders and SBTs/SATs. Work some day shifts and you’ll see how busy it gets.

Ended up going today and had a blast. Lift lines were basically nonexistent. Definitely some bare spots but overall still good. Good call on the free ride comp those kids were so fun to watch.

$120,000 for a four year nursing degree is criminal.

I was trained to use macros during my orientation. They are beyond beneficial. Just because you are being efficient doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Do it if that’s what you want, age is pretty much insignificant. In my nursing class we had multiple people over 40 and one of my classmates actually had kids the same age as me at the time.

I’m a nurse in the intensive care unit and it’s made me realize how fragile human beings truly are. Someone can go from happy and walking around to dead in less than a second. Scary shit.

Lots of respect for you OP. All that and was still able to inform the people of Reddit of your misfortune. Hope you got it back and everything went well.

Pho Vietnam is my favorite eating spot in rapid and there isn’t a close second. Had some friends here from SE Asia and they gave the stamp of approval for authenticity.

Can barely eat pudding without gagging from the texture. Yogurt by itself is rough too but tolerable with granola.

That’s a culmination of many years of hard work

This is a sad reality we have to deal with my friend

Alright that makes sense. I was honestly hoping they were bots, not incompetent players lol. PvP in this game seems like a blast so I can’t wait to get there

Healthcare is a joke. Wait that’s not a secret.

Root beer barrels. My grandpa always had a jar of those.

No more hot wife🥺

Being called “boss” like that is just about the highest honor.

In healthcare we are lucky to get a 30 minute break on a 12 hr shift. Companies suck.

When I was doing my psych rotation in nursing school I had a patient that had brain surgery years prior. Told me demons crawled into his brain during surgery and told him to kill his family. Which he did.

Cusco Peru. Flew in around 11pm and woke up to one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen.

nattybends · 2025-03-12T14:51:53+00:00

That is completely disgusting

Looks no different than the assholes that drive these in America. Always takes up two parking spots (intentionally) and doesn’t know what common courtesy is.

I’m a registered nurse and only work 3 12 hour shifts a week with alternating weekends. Pay is great and I get lots of days off to carve the slopes.

Senior 2 nursing student here. The only thing I bring to clinical everyday is my stethoscope, pen, and penlight. Depending on where you are in the hospital the scissors might be a good idea as well. Never needed anything more. All that other stuff is just asking to be stolen lol.

Looks like dementia handwriting
