I loved it and a year after working there I decided I wanted to back to school to get a nursing degree.

I spent over a year in hospital after my life turned to hell and if it wasn’t for all of the nurses helping me and getting me through the hard times (especially when my parents weren’t able to be there) and gently pushing me to push myself a bit further, I would have lost it completely.
      The beyond hard and endless work you as nurses do is just astounding AND outstanding and I really truly hope you know how much 99.9% of us truly appreciate everything you do to help and comfort us.. even when you’ve left your private issues at home, you always put patients first and I just admire how amazing you all are.

    This is why whenever I'm a patient I always try and be super patient with my nurse because I know they have so much going on. Literally the only time I hit my call button is if I need meds or my i.v is beeping. And even then if they turn my nurse alarm off but never show I be sure to give it about 30 minutes before I try again. I'm always really patient too when I have a student nurse who is struggling. I always tell them it's ok take your time. Can't imagine how overwhelming that first shift is!

    On my first job I was putting in a Foley with my preceptor and the patient asked, "are you a starter?" (Wut?) I thought she was asking "are you starting?" So I said "Yes.☺" When she proceeded to freak out, I realized by "starter" she meant "new" or "beginner." The problem is when people are feeling sick and vulnerable the last thing they want to hear is that you haven't already been doing this for a million years. Being a new nurse is hard.

      @@Softnsweetbb the answer to the first part or the second? For an MRI they (the MRI people) will call me and ask if the patient is going to need anxiety meds before going, ask if they're on oxygen, tell me what time the patient will go, etc. Then somebody from transport comes up to get the patient when it's time for the MRI. It's a lot simpler than I originally thought haha. The most annoying part is if a patient does require anxiety meds (like if they're claustrophobic) and they have none ordered and so I have to call the doctors in the middle of the night to get an order. The nightshift hospitalists are nice but the orthopedic and neurospine surgeons who are on call are usually jerks and I hate having to call them!! Some patients are patients of the hospitalist and it's super easy to page them, I just send a text page. Others are patients of ortho or neurospine and it's a much more annoying process. I have to call the call center, ask the operator who's on call, have them tell the provider to call me, wait for the provider to call me, then finally answer the phone when they do call and endure their annoyed attitude that I woke them up in the middle of the night for a non-medical emergency. Good times!

    1. Called to order a meal for a patient. Told the food service people my last name instead of the patients last name .. my preceptor laughed so hard
    2. Accidentally told the resident I loved him over the ascom instead of ‘thank you bye’ like a normal human being.. I went for the love you bye line 🤦🏽‍♀️..forever want to die lol
    3. Told PT they could get my patient to the chair when he was actually pretty obtunded and couldn’t move at all 🤦🏽‍♀️
    4. On my first day I kept accidentally telling my patients I was their nursing student instead of their nurse 🤦🏽‍♀️... needless to say my patients were pretty confused
    5. Accidentally told my patient that I just needed to hear his pulse .. while I went to palpate the dorsalis PeDis
