I find strength in my patients, I just wish our community would understand the severity of the shit that COVID can cause. Sometimes I want to give up because we work endlessly but the numbers continue to increase.
The saddest part of being an ICU nurse is family members telling me all the plans they have for their loved one when they leave the hospital.. I start fighting to hold back my tears because I know damn well their chance of survival is slim.
The world can be ugly and dark, be the light someone needs. Being selfless and compassionate isn’t hard. I’m so tired of people being so ugly and rude towards one another 😒
I’m so exhausted. I know this is all over the internet already but this virus is only getting worse. Our ICU is filled with patients who have COVID. I love what I do but I come home heartbroken each day because I see people suffer. This is only the beginning...
