I hope it is ok to post here. I worked as a pct for a tele floor combined with an IMCU unit in the back from 2021 to late 2024. I tried nursing school in 2023 but I had quit due to burnout and back pain. I eventually quit being a pct in 2024 to get a work from home job because I was in a lot of pain at the end of my shift. I'm only 2026 and suffer from bad lower back pain. I wished I advocated for myself more and practiced proper body mechanics. There was some night where I was the only tech to 20 something tele patients and 11 imcu patients. Our floor was kind of a weird layout. We had tele patients in the floor but we had an 11 bed imcu in the back. Some nurses were really helpful and some nurses gave me looks when I asked for some help so I was rolling patients that were a two person assist by myself because I needed to get my work done or day shift would complain about the number of baths I didn't do despite me being the only tech on the floor. Our floor is supposed to have 3 techs
i'll go first. i saw one from ID on a massively septic pt. at the bottom it said something along the lines of "vancomycin doesn't really have a dog in the fight. will add single dose of gentamycin as no one should die without gentamycin on board. will see pt tomorrow (should he survive the night). valor morghulis." i was so weak. short and concise insteadof 5 pages of old lab results, explained the overall rationale for treatment, also conveyed to me how seriously sick the provider thought the pt was. submitted by /u/only-ashes [link] [comments]

So at work a confused patient was holding onto the wall handrail like she was riding a subway train. She looks at me and asks, "Where are we right now?" so I told her "Youre in the hospital." She just nods, stares right at my neck, and deadpan goes, "Ah okay. So well be at the central station in two hours." My brain completely short-circuited. Then it hit me: I was wearing a bright red lanyard over my scrubs. In her mind, that wasnt a hospital badge, that was a train ticket inspectors lanyard. She genuinely, 100% thought I was the conductor coming to check her ticket on the express train š submitted by /u/Ghostwriter881 [link] [comments]

I recently applied and was accepted into working as a dietary aide at a nursing home. This will be my first ever experience working in a hospital or working in this sort of environment. I had my first encounter with a patient who exhibited the signs of one of the two, and I made my first mistake by almost giving her a pair of scissors- which thankfully, there werenāt any and unbeknownst to me, were explicitly kept from the patients. I had a conversation with the patient later on after the incident while waiting in the room towards the end of orientation when she had made another stop by before she began to repeatedly state that she wanted to go home, that someone told her she couldnāt go into her room, and that she had no where to go. I was with one of the main staff or nurses, who came in during the last few minutes of orientation, so I was able to see her correct the patient and redirect her. I am still getting used to this all as I am not familiar with these scenarios, and I wanted
this is my 3rd nursing job in 2 years and I donāt know if I even want to stick with this one. I have no idea what to do anymore, I canāt keep quitting and starting new jobs but I canāt find anything that doesnāt make me dread going to work. I started on a neuro medsurg floor, got tired of all my patients being disoriented and treating me like crap. the workload was insane and it didnāt feel safe so after a year I moved on to inpatient endoscopy. While I liked the work itself this unit was the worst managed place Iāve ever worked at in my life, my coworkers were crying and screaming at eachother every day it was honestly ridiculous. the call was terrible, no one had worked there more than a year and knew what they were doing, the charge nurse was having an affair with a rad tech and was absent, management was absent and so no one did their job and hid on their phones all day. After almost a year of that one I accepted a job at the OR. It was nice for the first couple months however now

Curious the fastest you ever quit a toxic nursing position? This is definitely a record for me. I accepted a job as dispensing nurse at an outpatient MAT facility (methadone/suboxone). I ignored some red flags in the hiring process. First off, I wasnāt contacted for about a month after applying. I was gearing up to accept a job elsewhere that I really wanted even though it was a long commute but then at the last minute I changed my mind to pursue the dispensing position instead because it was so much closer to my home. Once I interviewed and was offered the position and accepted it, the interim director could not keep straight what parts of the onboarding process I had/hadnāt completed. I chalked this up to her being overwhelmed by managing 2 facilities. But I didnāt get confirmation about my start date until the Friday afternoon before. When I emailed her basic questions about my first day (ie: what time are they expecting me, what entrance, should I make sure I bring anything, etc) i
I graduated last summer with my BSN, got my RN license august & been working as a school nurse, as my first nursing job, only for yet to hit 6 months. Got about a week as a orientation/ātrainingā. I feel like this job is not set up for new grad nurses at all. Itās completely independent work, no supervision or support staff especially being new and not with nurse-confidence just yet I feel like I am not fit for this role. I feel unqualified everyday. Itās such a leadership role where I feel like working with no previous medical experience, I am just winging it sometimes trying to learn on the job. I constantly overthink every little interaction I have with a student, trying to understand and help them, for emergencies- when to call 911 & when to call parent to pick them up.

An outbreak of an illness we have a vaccine for. Maybe we need PICUs that are full, death rates on tv, anti-vax parents having to get notifications of deaths and funerals of friends and family.

So Iāve been an RN for 6 years and a home health nurse for 1.5 years. Today I had a suprapubic catheter change due for a patient at an assisted living home. I went to remove the old catheter and I noticed upon pulling it out it got stuck. I managed to wiggle it around and it loosened up a little. When it came out there was a soft pop but there wasnāt any blood or anything on the catheter tip or on the SP site. When I went to insert the new catheter I swear the canal mustāve closed up or the patient was having a bladder spasm because when I was trying to insert it wasnāt going in. I tried to insert it straight, at an angle, and also downward toward the pubic bone but nothing worked. Then the SP site began to bleed so I stopped. I spoke with the patientās resident care coordinator and she looked really irritated when I told her the patient will need to go to the ER to have his catheter changed. I called my clinical manager and notified her and she seemed pretty nonchalant about my decisi

This patient had two recent UAs. One came back with trace non-hemolyzed RBC and the other came back with trace hemolyzed RBC. This patient, a woman in her late 50s-60s, had a lot of questions about what these results meant - specifically what the difference between hemolyzed and non-hemolyzed RBCs in her sample meant. I did my best trying to explain in lay terms what this meant but over the course of our correspondence she was just not grokking it. The provider even stepped in and sent a message to the patient explaining the difference. We gave her resources and links to articles explaining what these words meant. Finally (after about 6 messages back and forth) I sent her a message saying that she may be better off

Reposting bc I only got one response in a different group. I went in for an interview 4 weeks ago, and I thought it went great! The hiring manager verbally stated that I would be an addition to the upcoming cohort, and it would take 2-3 weeks before offer letters start going out. I sent a thank you letter after the interview and asked if 2-3 weeks was the wait time just to clarify and to know what to expect. They kindly responded about 6 days later (they said they would be on vacation right after our interview) and confirmed that yes, they will be working with the recruiter in the next few weeks to start getting offer letters sent.

Anyways, the nurse Iāve been receiving/giving report to is VERY passive aggressive. Like the other day, the aide had left early so I had to also be the aide for my patients which was no big deal. However, one of our patients had gotten Bumex so her PureWick canister was full and she looks at me and says ādo you want to empty thatā and I do not mind at all like I completely understand, but she makes me feel like iām not competent and like Iām a bad nurse. Itās just really discouraging after a busy shift to feel talked down to because of these things.

I did a couple travel nursing contracts at a behavioral health hospital that was extremely poorly ran. They chose to focus on everything except giving quality care to patients and ensuring safe staffing. This pic really sums up what it was like being there. For context: The saltines at the med window were intended to be given when meds should be taken with food. The meal portions they gave patients were super small, and many psych meds can increase appetite, so patients often were hungry. There were many times people asked for saltines in between meals, but management only wanted us to give them out with medication. Patients eventually caught on and knew to ask for a PRN just so they could get the saltines. This place was so stingy and micromanagey, you had to ask leadership to restock the damn SALTINES.

I havenāt been working in nursing for that long, but a few years has done me in for a lifetime. And itās not the patients. Sure, some can be annoying to work with, but generally, the patients have been pretty good. No, itās the pettiness, drama, and sheer immaturity from other coworkers that truly exhausts me. Before anyone says, āOther jobs have drama too,ā I agree. Of course they do. But having worked in other fields (and having known various others who did the same and then ultimately left nursing), I can say with confidence that it simply isnāt on the same level or nearly as malicious. In fact, the professionalism in other fields almost feels like a distant other world at this point. These particular coworkers in nursing donāt just irritate me; they genuinely disgust me and are an example of someone I will never let myself be. I cannot fathom how grown adults can behave so immaturely, be so obsessed with drama, try to make coworkers look bad, and actively make the job harder for ev

Before getting into everything, I should mention that I already put in my two weeks, and this week was supposed to be my last week at this job. Long story short, I work in the ICU and recently had two patients with pacemakers. One of the pacemakers was doing some funky things, which made me realize I was a little rusty with EKGs. I had a tab open with different EKGs and practice questions and was reviewing them periodically while taking care of my patients. My charting was up to date, and my patients were stable. One had already been downgraded to step-down. I went to lunch around 2:30PM. When I came back around 3 PM, my manager pulled me aside and told me that I had been looking at EKGs "all day" instead of taking care of my patients. She then claimed my charting wasn't up to date and that there was something wrong with my notes. However, her main reason for sending me home was that I had been doing EKG practice questions and looking at EKGs "all day." I asked her to show me where in

Honestly, it makes me want to quit.

Part of the reason I went into nursing is because I am (was?) a total night-owlā I used to like to stay up late and I preferred working nights when I worked in retail. Now, only 2.5 years after graduating from nursing school, I have lost all ability to tolerate night shifts. Last night was my first stretch of 3 night shiftsāonly 8-hours per shiftā and by 5:00am I couldnāt think, I could barely form sentences, I couldnāt process what my coworkers were saying to me, and it felt like I was genuinely drunk. It doesnāt feel safe to practice nursing like this.

Despite all that, I feel like absolute death when I work nights. I was perfectly fine with nights 2 years ago, and now itās like I hav

Iām a clinical liaison for a hospice company, based inside of a hospital. My role is to respond to referrals, provide information to patients and families, discharge plan, and admit those who meet criteria with unmanaged symptoms to inpatient hospice. With the attendings/hospitalists that we have a good, personable relationship with, they will come by our office and give us a heads up with any incoming referrals (especially if theyāre symptomatic/critical). Today, we received a blind referral early in the afternoon to which we reached out to the family within the hour. The family states theyāre not interested in meeting with us yet. That happens a lot, considering patients and families look to us for the not-sugar-coated answer in regards to prognosis and a lot of times this is their first time hearing about the option for hospice. Not to mention overall poor communication from the providers/status updates. So we send a message to the team (nurse, attending, CM, etc) to relay the messa
