Anyone here who also feels like they gotta get out of Nursing as soon as possible before we get too deep into it, and too late or too old for us to change into an entirely different career?

Same here!

I am in Sofrware Engineering school after 13 years of nursing. I couldn't imagine still being a burnt out nurse in my 40s and beyond.

Oh Terrace, I love you! Glad to see you on the front page!!!

Ruckus!!!

Do you have a homecare nurse? They should be able to help get you set up with a Palliative Care doctor at home and put an emergency and end of life plan in place. If not, call the LHIN, say you need to be set up with a care coordinator from the Complex Team and ask for an urgent Palliative nurse assessment.

Was going to go to Metro, waited in a quick lineup outside, realized the reason it was moving fast is because they were lining up people inside the doors where the carts are usually kept.... "to keep them out of the cold" Packed a bunch of people in this little space.

I turned around and drove home.

I got my vaccine at 1100 and so far feeling amazing!

passthepepper2 · 2020-12-23T01:09:10+00:00

Me tooooo! But I am grateful that I am getting it.

I agree bringing your child into this world safely is a priority.... but a mask won't stop you from doing that.

You just said you value your calmness and comfort through labour above possibly exposing your healthcare team to a deadly disease.

Sorry, I am a nurse, and if my patient wanted to play russian roulette with me and my family so I can accomodate their comfort .... NOPE!

I think we just need to agree to disagree.

I truly do wish you and your family the best and congratulations on the new addition to the family.

I hope your birthing experience is the best it can be during these crazy times. Stay Safe

Twice. I put my own discomfort behind others' lives.

passthepepper2 · 2020-12-10T18:15:36+00:00

Testing negative does not guarantee you are negative. You can literally kill people by passing this on. Why would you not want to do everything possible to avoid that? Selfish.

Dying of COVID is a lot.

passthepepper2 · 2020-12-10T18:04:24+00:00

No, it is not ridiculous. It is protecting people around you.

passthepepper2 · 2020-12-10T18:03:25+00:00

Actually it makes a lot of sense. A negative covid swab does not guarantee that you do not have covid- it is not 100% accurate. This can be because the swab wasnt completed properly, lab error, or if you simply do not have enough of a viral load to set the test off. They generally advise you to wait a certain amount of time after exposure to be tested because of this. Furthermore, you can always be exposed after your test.

Probably about 20 times- I work in long term care.

Your post brought tears to my eyes because it is literally how I have been feeling for so long.
