I appreciate how raw and real this video is. I'm a newer nurse in about a year and half in, (on a surgical ICU step down unit) I felt all the same feelings. Your feelings are valid. Remember to breathe when things get rough. The growth you will see is tremendous. You will not be the same nurse 6 months from now, you will continue to grow!! Keep glowing!

I can totally relate to all of this! Night shift is HARD to adjust to. I really struggled with balancing work and personal life. I’m 7 months in and things are better now. It’s overwhelming for sure. Hitting the 6th month mark as a new nurse I was feeling so much depression and stress. I felt burnt out and I would literally cry before each shift. It’s tough!

I too started at the end of February and been off of orientation for 5 months now. It is exhausting tbh. I started on night shift and I went through this period where all I wanted to do was sleep and not talk to anyone but I have come out of that. I think going to school, being a new nurse and struggling with night shift has developed so many challenges. I know for me it annoys me that I don’t always know what’s going on and my greatest fear is to miss something because I’m a new nurse but I’m like you that I have to remind myself that I’m not perfect nor is this profession. It’s refreshing to hear someone going through the same exact things. Good luck to you!

The way it TRIGGERED me when you mentioned the Whipple procedure by name! I’m about to start nursing school in January and my dad passed away of pancreatic cancer in 2011. Because of the Whipple procedure my dad was able to go into remission and get more time with us. The nurses in Surgical Oncology at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle sent my dad home to us so many times. They saved his life so many times, and I try to remember that instead of the one time that it wasn’t meant to be saved. I can’t wait to be a nurse and help people have more time with their loved ones.

Hey girl! So honestly we learn so much in school and it depends on the unit you’re in- how much YOULL really use. If you go into peds/OB you really learn a small amount in school, and won’t use probably 90% of what you used in school. In med surg/oncology I honestly feel like I learned barely anything in school and have learned SOOO much on the job! 🤍
