Being a nurse is just basically silently screaming ‘What the actual fuck’, ‘Are you fucking kidding me?!’, and ‘Shut the fuck up’ over and over in your head.

I expect a gift if you’ve asked me any of the following:
What is this rash?
Do I have COVID?
Am I in labor?
Can I take Tylenol w/ Ibuprofen?
Can you look at this? Is it broken?
WebMD says I have a brain tumor
No text: just a random pic of body part (??)
Hi, I’m your nurse you may know me by my greatest hits; ‘If you can hold your own turkey sandwich you can hold your own urinal’, ‘Don’t touch your catheter, leave it alone’, ‘No, you can’t go outside to smoke’, ‘It’s not time for pain medication yet’, and ‘Absolutely not.’
Every laid back, mellow, easy going nurse has a loud, over the top, coffee addicted, always on the verge of a menty-b, overthinking, sassy AF, nurse best friend.
For a work force that is made up of primarily women, there is a shocking lack of resources and support during pregnancy, maternity leave, and childcare within the nursing profession.
It’s wild to be at work and have one patient be going through the most dignified, peaceful dying process and the next patient be trying to chew through their IV tubing while yelling that their ride is coming and they can’t find their pants.
I don’t want to be involved in ANY drama at work but I must (I can’t stress this enough) hear about every single, little detail of everyone else’s drama.
