Relatable Nursing Post

Me before work: Deep breathing exercises. Self affirmations of “I will remain calm.” “ I will not swear”. “I wont get upset”.

CRP of 243? K+ of 1.1? Plts of 8? This should be fun!

When lab calls saying that the sample that they’ve had for 3 hours is clotted or hemolyzed

Begging to not have the rsv assignment

When visitors cough

After finishing cares on a kid in an open warmer

When work calls at 1600 and asks if you could come in to work night shift after you’ve been awake all day

When you get the hard stick IV on the first attempt after everyone else has tried multiple times.

@every baby in the world

When 4am rolls around and you catch a glimpse of your reflection 

When we get a fresh crop of residents

When someone gets sassy with my orientees
