I was in my new grad residency program when my dad had a sudden medical emergency (he passed out due to saddle PEs and then got hit by a car, had multiple cardiac arrests, three bouts of sepsis…it’s too much to put here) and had been terminally ill as a result of that emergency and many hospital acquired issues. I’ve been on leave since to help my mom (who is elderly) with the situation and I feel so behind and so sad about many aspects as my dad is dying, I feel behind on my career that just started and I feel unable to talk to anyone as this situation is so unique and isolating. Has anyone had to deal with a family emergency early in their nursing career?   submitted by   /u/OkJournalist3973 [link]   [comments]
