yeah i have no doubt you’re stressed, im just saying she’s probably stressed about objectively more important things bc of her job. i wasn’t trying to say you couldn’t feel bad but being a nurse isn’t easy

I know it’s not easy, I saw her entire journey to get here. I know it wasn’t easy for her especially cause immigration and whatnot, but I’m so tired dude. She’s been able to manage this job fine for years, she’s getting more certifications too. She thrives on this lifestyle. I’m just so fried, I can’t even find a legit job with my actual degree and I just graduated.

That’s like. Definitely the average pay in the majority of the country. New RNs in my state make $32 an hour

And that’s not to say whatever you’re experiencing isn’t difficult, I’m sure it is. But just also acknowledge that maybe the job isn’t the only thing burning you out. It probably ain’t helping but also if you already have mental health struggles of course any job is gonna feel hard asf.

And I understand where she’s coming from because I find it hard to listen to ppl complain about their job too. It’s not an excuse, but when we have a bad day at work, it’s because someone died. Just hard for a human to process someone complaining about a retail/office/fast food job when they experience something like that haha

Idk call me crazy but I haven’t experienced a lot of deaths in my life so to me it’s not a concept I can exactly mentally wrap my head around. And my mental health is fine, I’m just so burnout. I barely have time to do what I enjoy anymore. I wanted to go to trivia today with some girls and I even had a friend pick up my shift and I’m so exhausted from work I can’t bring myself to get ready, not even shower.

And forgive me for rambling but imagine you come in for your 12-hour shift, where very little can phase you, but your patient who you became quite close with passes at the beginning of the shift. You have to bag their body, take them to the morgue, watch the family grieve. Then you immediately walk into another patient room where you get cussed out because you weren’t available to help them order their food (something they are fully capable of doing) and they got food they dislike.
