I’ve worked 40 hours in the last 3 days, about to go in for my 4th 12 hour shift in a row 🙃 currently feeling like a zombie and this close 👌🏻 to shotgunning a monster
In 3 days, we have lost 4 patients. 2/4 of them we did chest compressions until their ribs broke. 2/4 of them were under the age of 26; 2/4 of them had stage IV cancer, and 1/4 of them was alone because their family didn’t want to be there for that. Hug your nurse friends
It’s crazy that I forget I’m at the age where it’s “normal” for people to be getting married and having babies so when I see someone I know that got married I’m just like ohhhhhhh shit how scandalous and then I’m like oh wait they just have their life together
