@ashleylorenaadkins: That pit-in-your-stomach feeling before a shift? You’re not alone. Pre-shift anxiety is real—and it’s so common in nursing. It doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you care. It means you’re human. Let’s talk about it. 💙 #nurselife #preshiftanxiety #mentalhealthmatters #youarenotalone #nursewellness”

I am 4 months in as a new grad med surg nurse on nightshift, and I get pre and post shift anxiety real bad. Mine stems from the fear of making a mistake, and also I think because I haven’t had any positive feedback from management or charge nurses that I work with. In fact, I don’t get much feedback at all. That makes me question if anything I’m doing is making any difference at all, or if I’m doing anything wrong at all.

9 years here and the anxiety before work is crippling some days. I wish I didn’t care as much as I do.

I got it 6 months into being a nurse idk why! I’d have to use the bathroom soo bad on the way to work I thought I wouldn’t make it, didn’t realize it was that! Went from full time to PRN and it’s helped tremendously!

I’m a new grad and Omg it’s always the post shift anxiety that gets me. I literally replay back all the things that I did when I’m about to sleep

Sometimes the anxiety is because professionals are put in positions they have no control over and are given work loads that are dangerous to patients. That kind of thing doesn’t end these days. I walked out after 30 years and started a small business six years ago. Best decision I ever made, professionally.

Girl I use to have to hype myself up all the way to work as a baby icu nurse. I always listened to “snap your fingers do ya step, you can do it all by yourself” lol😂😂😂 I even made up some lyrics about titrating gtts. Now I have to go look the song up and listen to it.

About 6 months post grad, 2 months into being off orientation and I can’t help the “dread” feeling of going into work 😔

Pre-shift anxiety had me leave the ED. Now a few months later, I miss the work but afraid to try to return to critical care. 💜🥺

I worked L&D at a rural hospital for many years, and even with all of the experience, I still had pre shift anxiety so many days because we just don't have the extra help for emergency situations. It was a love hate relationship for a long time.
