  1. Sending love, joy and strength to all my nurses out here spreading love, empathy and kindness with every breath you take and every step you take. ❤️ Love you. ❤

  2. Getting abused daily by patients, family, and administration wears on you. Retired early. Heard there's still a shortage. Wonder why. Until patient satisfaction surveys aren't the main drivers, they'll continue to ride the nurses. They can't ride the doctors. The doctors bring the patients. Nurses are expenses, not income.

  3. Hey so this probably doesn't mean much coming from a random person online but I really appreciate nurses like you. It affects you and likely hurts your heart often, and you should have a safe place to express those feelings, too. I think it is lost on many just how much nurses are responsible for, expected to do, the trauma they endure…i see y'all. And I appreciate those of you who haven't let the job harden your bedside manner. You're great.

  4. Give me a break already. You know what you’re signing up for and how much you’re being paid to do it. If you don’t like it, DO SOMETHING ELSE! Enough with the whining already!!!

  5. I last as a nurse less time than I went to school to become one. Biggest factor in my burnout. Other nurses that were burnt out. Burnt out health care staff in all departments. Health care professionals need to be regulated on hours available to work like truck drivers are.

  6. Fellas one day you will meet a nurse, or a girl who is in school for nursing. It’s very important you never get romantically involved with her. You must, at all cost, avoid this.

  7. Yup, nurse here – heavily medicated for anxiety, and I can't relax when I'm in the hospital unless whoever is the staff nurse assigned to me lets me be the nurse and they take CNA role. When I had sepsis last summer, I nearly started rounding on the neighboring patients as no one was answering their call lights fast enough.

  8. It's ok. My facility has put in relaxation rooms. So I can go eat on my break, or I can sit in a massage chair. I requested a punching bag, but they didn't like that idea. I need a rage room, not a relaxing room.

  9. Yesssss!!! And 💩 rolls downhill. My first day off I tell my family don't ask me for anything, don't whine, Don't complain, expect zero from me. I need silence. Spend all week at work verbally, mentally, physically abused giving all and being told constantly it's not enough (short staffed what does everyone expect)asking why am I doing this? For that one in ten thank you, smile, "I'm so happy you're working today" from those few residents. That's why.

  10. I work in the ER. We are taught that if you get anxiety or any case touches you too much you are not fit to work here. We are one of the biggest Trauma Centers and the biggest ped trauma center in my country and if you aren't "hard" enough you are told to leave.
    We don't get mental support and even the EMS and Police forces that we work with are shocked by the amount of severe traumic stuff we see here on a daily basis

  11. Absolutely it does 😢
    I've had 4 nurses & 2 Dr's in my close family. 3 of the 4 nurses had depression and other psychiatric problems. My grandmother was the only one that didn't seem to be affected like that. She never showed any signs. But she was a devout Catholic & always happy, always smiling. She was the strongest, most positive, gentle, loving woman I've ever known or had in my life. I'm the first grandchild of several. We had a very special bond. She put herself thru nursing school while having 10 children, & a husband just home from the war at the time, & not doing well. Nurses are the angels that cares for us & does things for patients the Dr's don't do. Most Dr's tend to be more distant and informative. Nurses, on the other hand, their role is more nurturing, caring, attentive & almost personal. They feel for their patients ❤ They're Earth Angel's, as far as I'm concerned ❤🙏❤
