I hate to say this, but this won’t be your first time… I’ve cried multiple times and I’ve been a nurse for 6 years. I’ve cried at being short staffed, hard assignments, too many expectations, death of patients, successful code blues, families insulting me… we go through a lot! But you’re in this position for a reason!

This is what more people need to see rather than vacations and bags and nice cars. I hope you feel better.

The first year of nursing really tests your decision to stay in the field…

My first day off orientation my oatient coded i cried in the bathroom and my charge nurse gave me a hug. You will cry every now and then. But if youre crying because of your environment GET OUT! Its not worth it.

Honestly kudos to all the nurses! But I am SO GLAD I didn’t not choose that as a career path

For all the people that say it gets better, they’re more right than wrong. I have a different perspective. I was a new grad who got a CICU job as a new grad in ‘23. I was so scared on the floor I earned an action plan and had a private meeting with my manager that told me to my face: “you look terrified out there”- didn’t help with any anxiety, lol. It instead propelled me because I told myself I was incompetent in my field, and frankly, I was. I ate and slept (nightmares when I did) hemodynamics. I had a sweet educator who told me in follow-up meetings: I hope you’re finding work-life balance”. I was not, and shared that. I vowed to change that. The 6 month slump is real.. PUSH through it. Mine took a year understandably. I’m still anxious before work, but what has changed is that I know if I show up for my shift, whether I think I can or not… I know I can actually handle it, because I am more intelligent than my mind tells me I am. Stick with it. It DOES get easier. Ask questions when you can, be a novice. What you’ll find is you can educate yourself, and be educated by your peers, but no one will ever be prepared for the stuff we deal with. We do our best, and even if you tell yourself you don’t know if you’re doing things right, you are. You’re hard on yourself because you care about your patients. Ask for help. Ask questions. Seek knowledge. At the end of the day, try your BEST to take a walk, cook a meal, breath, and wind down before the next day. Take one day at a time. You will become more confident, and feel more valuable as you learn. You’re still LEARNING. Hate to break it to you sister, but you joined a career where you will continue to learn, practices and policies will change, but no matter how much you think you’re losing it, the patient is still there each time counting on a nurse that cares as much as you do. Hang in there. I’ve thought about quitting an unhealthy amount of times… don’t quit. Don’t. It gets better, I promise.

Remember you’re part of a team. Don’t ever hesitate to ask for help if you’re struggling. You’ll be ok.

First year is brutal. I ended up in er several times with severe anxiety attacks, 18 years later I'm still plugging away. I no longer cry or have anxiety attacks, but I'm also not the person I started out as. You have to grow thick skin and basically become emotionally untouchable.

I cried in the hospital’s cafeteria bc the preceptors were never with me to answer questions or didn’t want to show me how to do things I never did or seen before. I quit that night 🥰
