im a new grad on night shifts and for the last month the longest break i have between my shifts is 2 days. i physically cant adjust back to daytime hours with that time frame, everywhere is closed when i wake up, and everyone i know is asleep or at work. i moved across the country for this job, and i miss my family and my friends from home extremely severely. tbh i have youngest sibling syndrome. i didnt receive my last paycheck over a week ago & i cant even call hr because of my sleep schedule. i had an assignment that i couldnt have handled even if i could clone myself and a patient bit me and then the next day my dumbass gave myself a needlestick injury in front of my patient and their family in the middle of the night i must have hit my head super hard coming out when i was born or something. and then the bleeding didnt stop for 15 minutes and i had to take my lunch break so i could sit in the break room and cry in the dark for the whole hour bc my finger hurt and i missed my big sister & then somebody came in and slept on the couch so i should have been quieter to not disturb his rest but i didnt do that i just kept babbling sadly to my sister when i woke her up at 2 am like a little baby. today after work all i wanted was a nice overpriced dinner/breakfast when i woke up but when i woke up the restaurant was closed. im very sad about it... i know this is the real adult world as a working contributing member of society but ive always been immature and i wish i could just go home and pet my cats and i wish i could play with my sister for a job. actually i really wish i had gotten my dinnerbreakfast yesterday. my favorite preceptor is taking next week off and im going off orientation to be on my own and i feel like every time i have a patient and they arent discharged the next time i come in its bc i did a bad job and i prolonged their stay by being a clown and terrible nurse. i feel like im always missing signs and not putting pieces together. its sheer dumb luck that i can even put a battery in a voalte phone by myself. i cant even see a therapist cuz who tf is gonna heal me at 4 am????? also my apartment is overpriced and mold grew on my ceiling and when i called maintenance they came in and painted over it like wtf?????   submitted by   /u/PositiveTomorrow6902 [link]   [comments]
