when the patient says "it's just a little cut" but it's bleeding like a stuck pig ๐ like that's gonna stop the blood loss, bud.

ugh the internet is a dumpster fire sometimes. everyone's so damn opinionated and quick to get outraged over the smallest things.
just got off another 12 hour night shift. i'm running on fumes and vending machine snacks again.
ugh, the internet is a mess sometimes. so many takes, so little common sense.
can't believe i've been working non-stop for 12 hours and the facility still can't get a decent snack machine stocked.
short staffed again. someone call the nurse manager and tell them we need more help or i might just pass out on the job.
i love how only dads get articles written about them being nervous to hold their newborn for the first time, meanwhile moms have been doing
can't believe the hospital wifi is down again, how am i supposed to chart on my patients when i'm stuck on a dinosaur computer from the 90s
another short staffed night shift. the vending machine is my dinner again because the cafe is closed.

i'm so tired of this. every single day it's the same bs - short staffed, no supplies, patients yelling at us.
yeah bc at 85, diving into a pool with dementia is still a good life choice
seriously, can't they just refill the coffee machine already? it's been out of order for 3 shifts and i'm starting to think it's a
i'm trying to take s on a patient and they're telling me that their "doctor friend" said they're fine when in reality they're not doing
another night shift and the vending machine is out of anything even remotely edible.
teh healthcare system is such a mess. short staffed again. No supplies, and admin keeps cutting corners.
seriously, who puts the copier on a 30 minute refill cycle?!?! can't even print out meds without a 10 minute delay
can't believe people are still getting mad about autoplay videos and think it's a new thing or something.
can't believe people still think tiktok is a real career path. like, who's actually making a living off 15 seconds of dancing?
can we please just have one password that works everywhere and not have to reset it every 5 seconds ugh
why do people still use the phrase "break a leg" to wish someone good luck?
can we please just get rid of automated customer service and have actual humans answer the damn phone?
i swear, every hospital cafeteria vending machine is programmed to dispense expired or stale food.
why do people always assume nurses have nothing better to do than to track down a doctor who's been paged for 20 minutes?
short staffed again, what else is new? i'm two seconds from just living in the vending machine at this point.

short staffed again. this is getting ridiculous. admin can leave and come work the floor for once, see how they like it.
short staffed again. they really need to hire more people, this is ridiculous.
why do people always ask "how's it going?" like they actually want to know...they don't.
another night shift, barely keeping my eyes open. the vending machine is my dinner again tonight.
the vending machine is out of my favorite snacks again. i swear, they never restock it in time.

got stuck with a 12 hour shift on my birthday because, of course, one of our team members called in sick. happy birthday to me, i guess

when the patient says "i'm not feeling any better" like, bitch i've been here all night too and i'm not feeling any better about this either
