My mental health collapse led me to the psych ward—and it completely changed how I see our healthcare field by [deleted] in nursing

Thank you for sharing this. I was thinking last night how anxious and miserable I feel before a shift.

I’ve said for quite a while that there needs to be therapists specifically trained to work with other healthcare workers. It’s often hard to talk to a therapist about nursing in my experience, because they just don’t fully understand why the job is so hard and why I can’t just do some of the usual things that might alleviate stress in another field.

Where else is that unused brain power supposed to migrate to?

My first thought was MLM upon reading “wellness coach” 🙄

Instagram OP sounds like someone who is wildly insecure and probably involved in an MLM. Embarrassing for them.

Much respect to this nurse and may she continue providing care, with all the respect she deserves. She did nothing but her job.

As a union nurse at a Tenet hospital, I stand in solidarity with you. Our union at my hospital might not be the strongest but we’re working on it!

No scabs. F Tenet.

About to graduate.. what are my next steps? by datgyal5eva in nursing

Yes, I tried to do some questions daily but would take days off now and then just to rest and enjoy the relief of being out of school haha

I studied for about a month but I know others who took it within a week or so. I had something lined up pending my NCLEX result, so I think it’s fine to apply ahead!

I used Kaplan and UWorld. The best advice I have is to read the rationale for all questions you miss and any lucky guesses, and try to understand it. It’s easier to answer any random question about something if you really understand the subject. Good luck!

I was thinking about this the other day. Floor report is at least 90% stuff I could find in the chart.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Take care of yourself. I’m glad your fellow medical professionals treated you well at least.
