How many alcohol swabs did YOU find in your laundry this morning?

I've take a job as a hospice nurse, doing home visits to people who are dying, helping them pass with whatever dignity and comfort is possible in their own homes. It pays less, but I think it will be rewarding in other ways.

I quit my job as a hospital nurse. Too much stress and anxiety: crushing chest pain in the mornings before work, needing to self-medicate. We're unable to properly care for patients for a long time now. Chronically short-staffed, short on equipment and supplies. It's heartbreaking. Upper managment has made very clear that nursing is an unnecessary expense rather than an assett to the the hospital.

Some days I feel like Wile E Coyotes after hunting road runners all day. These are "work days'.

@sean never get mad when other people's wages go up. How about my hospital CEO who already makes 8 million a year and has his own security detail?

I got into a verbal altercation with the head of housekeeping today. Housekeepers kept leaving COVID doors wide open, even after being told not to. Boss said, "well they're new and they don't speak English." Tell that to my pts who are now swabbing positive...

Liebe in Deutschland arbeitenden Kolleg:innen auf Normalstation,

New nurses…having 8-12 patients on night shift is not SAFE. The “they have done it on Night/Dayshift before” is not an excuse to give you unsafe patient to nurse ratio. #nurses #nurselife

Lawrence: change is scary. Keep breathing. You are going to be ok.

Well who would have expected that this chick would be selected to do a poster presentation at a conference!? I know most people would groan about this but, I don't know how I feel about it 10 hrs later. Initially I was elated & that lasted a couple of hours. Then, uncertainty & self-doubt, set in. I've been told it's a glorified science project. Well, #elation quickly shifted to a #deflated feeling...thanks for lifting people up, People! #nurselife #phdlife #phdchat

Yesterday at work, an older lady patient asked me if I was going to 'go on to be a doctor?'. When I said 'No', she responded, 'yeah being a doctor is too hard and takes too much dedication.'

Med surg floor. 20 patients (6 of them covid); 3 nurses. no aide. Yesterday was a shit show. Today will be a shit show. I'm exhausted.

What are the most stressful jobs in #nursing ... and what are the *least* stressful ones, if you can think of any that qualify?

Weil es ja nie zu früh sein kann, an meinem Heiligenschein zu klöppeln, war ich so nett und habe 2 Dienste getauscht und muss jetzt gleich arbeiten.
Faul auf der Couch liegend, überlege ich gerade, dass es in der Hölle, für mich Frostbeule, eh viel gemütlicher gewesen wäre.

Have you EVER heard of a hospital that doesn't have coffee available to it's staff on Sundays???
