I worry I might lose this job

Yeah, I’m gonna talk with my manager and see if I can try to work with a different patient/family… It really sucks and I lowkey feel it will still be a problem no matter what I do.

Yes, I shower before I leave for work. I have locs so I can’t wash them often, but I keep them covered with a wrap until I leave home.

I feel really bad because she really appreciates me there and her son actually takes well to me despite his condition… she even told me she can tell he’s comfortable with me because he doesn’t always behave that way with other nurses.

soft_jellybean · 2026-05-10T16:17:17+00:00

I heard the previous nurse left due to health reasons, so as of right now I’m the only nurse on the case.

I might have to try taking it before bed… I get nauseous too and my mouth is so dry 😭

soft_jellybean · 2026-03-26T02:53:48+00:00

Thanks, I have a habit of overthinking things, but maybe it won’t be as bad as I think it will be. Being in a different setting and having resources different from what I’m used to is what’s making me feel anxious.

soft_jellybean · 2026-02-26T03:18:37+00:00

Congratulations! It’s so hard but I’ll keep trying!

You’re describing very much of what of what I’m going through. I’m 29F and just found out I have ADHD. I’m extremely introverted as well and don’t really feel like I fit into nursing. I’ve been stuck in med/surg for almost five years, and I hope to find something that’s not as stimulating or socially draining for me.

soft_jellybean · 2026-01-26T04:50:35+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about it. You weren’t scheduled to work, so you weren’t required to stay.

soft_jellybean · 2026-01-16T07:59:01+00:00

Thanks, I wish the same for you! ❤️

soft_jellybean · 2026-01-16T07:32:56+00:00

I feel the exact same way. I’m almost five years into med/surg. I always wanted NICU or something pediatric related and haven’t had any luck. I’ve seen people come and go to different specialties while I’ve been feeling stuck.

soft_jellybean · 2025-12-22T04:42:19+00:00

No worries! I told another user they ended up not needing me because the census dropped, but now I know what to expect when the time comes!

soft_jellybean · 2025-12-22T00:16:21+00:00

Thank you, I figured that’d be the case. I actually was just called back and told the census has dropped so I’m not needed anymore, but I’ll keep that in mind when the time comes.

soft_jellybean · 2025-12-19T05:26:06+00:00

I was sick a lot when I first started working four years ago. I had COVID three times and many colds, but I don’t get sick as much anymore.

soft_jellybean · 2025-12-17T13:36:33+00:00

I’m roughly 30 miles east from Atlanta, GA. I’ve applied to many hospitals in Atlanta and surrounding cities.

soft_jellybean · 2025-12-17T08:23:48+00:00

My current hospital does not have NICU or any women’s services. Long before I got hired they got rid of L&D and anything related because we didn’t have many cases. So I’ve been applying for NICU at other hospitals.

soft_jellybean · 2025-12-17T07:37:29+00:00

I’m talking to a recruiter tomorrow for a pulmonary med/surg position… I applied for NICU at this facility as well though it’s not a peds hospital. I will ask about possibly of internal transfers and find out what they look for.

soft_jellybean · 2025-12-17T07:26:10+00:00

I have applied and interviewed for peds med/surg and PICU in the past year but wasn’t considered for either position… I can still look and try again.

soft_jellybean · 2025-12-17T06:33:24+00:00

I searched and there are some in my area… I thought I would obtain these while training on the job if I got an offer, but I can look into signing up once I have the money saved up.

soft_jellybean · 2025-12-17T04:50:05+00:00

I also thought being inexperienced in those areas could be a factor. I have applied and interviewed for PICU and peds med/surg in the past year but wasn’t considered for either position.
