@aaron.the.rn: One of the greatest skills in nursing is learning how to stay in a good mood even when there are so many reasons not to. A lot of times at work, things don’t go as planned. If you’ve seen The Pitt, that’s honestly not too far from reality. You have one patient in pain, another who’s confused. Then there are families who are anxious and worried. Someone who’s been waiting all day just to go home, and someone else who’s at the end of their life. There are so many reasons why this job is hard, and sometimes it feels even harder to stay in a good mood through all of it. But one thing I’ve learned over time is how important it is to stay calm and look for small reasons to stay grounded. Not because we don’t feel what our patients are going through, but because they’re already carrying so much. Sometimes they need someone who can bring a little bit of light when everything around them feels heavy. #nurses #nursinglife #nursetok #fyp #inspiration
