This is something I really struggle with. I find it hard to maintain a positive attitude throughout a long shift, especially when I start getting physically and mentally exhausted. I never want to come across as having an attitude to my patients, but sometimes I feel like I have to put in extra effort to seem upbeat and friendly. How do you guys manage this? Do you have any tips or tricks to maintain your energy and patience throughout long shifts without feeling like you have to force yourself I don’t want to be one of those nurses with a stank attitude who seems extremely miserable with their life. Lol I’m sure we’ve all encountered a nurse like that at some point, and it’s not a good feeling. You can feel the negative energy as soon as they walk into the room! Ofc, we are human too. We have bad days, we get tired, and we get overwhelmed. But I never want to become so consumed by the challenges of this profession that I lose the very qualities that make me a good nurse.   submitted by   /u/Kitty3G [link]   [comments]
