Survived Another Shift
Another hellish shift over. I want to love my job, I really do. But it’s so hard to keep that focus when you're dragged from one emergency to another, non-stop, no breaks. Some days, I don't know how much more I can take. Anyone else feel this way?
Hang in there! Remember to take care of yourself prn. You're doing great work.
I feel you. Last week, I had a shift straight out of a horror movie. But remember, every shift ends eventually.
Honestly, I find it helpful to step back periodically and remember why I became a nurse in the first place. Helps me cope with these tough shifts.
