RN Rants.

Well...I hope everyone has had a safe pandemic....I know we're all burnt out but one day we're heroes & the next...well...

Whenever I forget I’m on call & they tell me I have to work 16 hours because the grave shift called off

Whenever I’m on call & they call me in at the most unexpected time...

When I started nursing school...

I’m thinking of going back to school but...

My reaction when I got situated in my nursing job...

The jaded humor when shit hits the fan at work

Everyday...

Traumas that arrive in my hospital...every day....

To some of my patients, but mostly my doctors...esp the ones who “know-it-all”

The typical narcissistic attitude of most surgeons I work with...

Every time I see an elective case that can run up to 6+ hours of OR time scheduled on a weekend in a level 1 trauma hospital...

To everyone who is working a weekend shift :’(

When patients think surgeries from 10 years ago or longer no longer count as “surgical history”

When you’re charge RN and you’re trying to figure out the day but everyone is also at the desk chatting away...

The second I walk into a crazy shift...
