Vent time. Why is it that staff nurses can't see us as part of the team? We're here to help, not steal shifts. Just doing our jobs, like them.

Same thing with me. Feels like they don’t value our time.

Feels like the story of my life. Exhausted and underappreciated.

Hang in there. It's tough, but remember why you got into nursing in the first place.

Reminds me of when I was a new grad, floated between pediatrics, surgical and rehab within a week. I know it's tough, but believe me, it builds character and experience.
