I put in my 2 weeks. I'm leaving the toxic, hostile OR environment. It's so bittersweet. This was my first RN job and I love my surgeons and residents so much.
Transferring to a M-F clinic position.

Day 5 of being isolated in my bedroom by myself. I hate it.
I'm so tired of being sick.
I miss my family.

Rona finally got me 😩 So glad I'm vaxxed and boosted, because I can't imagine how bad I'd feel otherwise.

@AfibWithRiver They betadined you instead of chloraprep?
Itching after surgery is pretty common though.

Pre-op called the floor to get report on my patient today. Asked if they had any medical history.

Floor nurse: Oh, I don't know anything about her because she only speaks Spanish.

🤯🤯🤯 This is not acceptable!

I was not anticipating the smell of dead bowel this morning 🤢

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

@PlantMamaRN I'm right there with you.

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

@BTSFuelsMySeoul I heard they were going on a hiatus and wanted to make sure you were ok

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

@ImTheBinBSN My mind can't even comprehend how anyone in the room could allow that to happen or witness it and say nothing.

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

Not me working while I probably have appendicitis.

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

Me from the bathroom: Omg I think I have food poisoning!

Husband: What do you want to do?

Me: I want to die!!!

Husband: Don't do that.

@BTSFuelsMySeoul @nurse_jeb @ChloeesiRN We have an argon pad shortage too!! I called to get one on Friday and they told me we only had pediatric ones.

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

@ChloeesiRN This happened to us a few months ago. I didn't have any stocked in my room, so I called supply and their response was, "let me check to see if we got any in."

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

@ChloeesiRN 😳🔥🔥

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

@iamkarlip You are literally the most adorable!

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

Working at a level 1 trauma center is hard.

Today has been rough 😞

That's all.

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

@ChloeesiRN It's happening at my work too.
Hell I'm seriously considering putting in my notice.

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

Walked into an OR today and immediately said "smells like barbecue sauce in here".

Probably not my best move.

[LifeInPlasticsRN 😷 @peachyRN]

@PlantMamaRN I'm so sorry.
As someone who is currently trying to conceive and not having success. I feel this deeply.
