Nursing is wild to me. We go into it wanting to help people and it turns out that sometimes we as nurses need more help than our patients. The mental health struggle and lack of support from the healthcare system is exhausting. 😔
Can we talk about how annoying it is to constantly explain your schedule to your non HCW friends?
Im not free for the next 3 weekends. I need to be in bed by 9. I won’t be home for Christmas. My days off are in the middle of the week.
Nurses are allowed to have bad days. We are allowed to get upset and frustrated. We’re even allowed to be mad. Nurses. Are. Human. And for fucks sake we are allowed to say we don’t like doing certain skills.
I have such a love hate relationship with this time of year. The fall is beautiful and amazing and cozy, but it’s also when I lost my sister so I just feel so overwhelmed by grief at the same time
