[Navigating Difficult Conversations]

How do you navigate difficult conversations with hospital administration that may be difficult to work with, or struggle seeing nurses' perspectives?

[Pre-shift anxiety, anyone?]

Thought this TikTok was interesting and relatable.

[Tik Tok]

This killed me! Hahaha

That's way interesting Montana! It's a hard choice to make I'm sure because you want to keep your job and really are putting that at risk when participating I'm sure...

[Helping Nurses Feel Valued]

NURSES!!! I reallllyyyy NEED YOUR INPUT! Us nurses are struggling to feel heard/valued at the hospital I'm currently at. What do hospitals you work at do (if applicable, lol) that help you and other nurses feel heard/valued?? Something that I've heard of is shared governance, tuition reimbursement, or career development courses.

 

Thoughts??

[Why do you stay?]

Love these thoughts. And I totally agree, Tanny! I think many of us nurses are starting to wander away from bedside.

Tanny, picking up hospital shifts is super easy, as long as you have a little prior experience. It's a great way to make fast money.

YOU'RE AMAZING ABIGAYL!!!! P.s. not sure if anyone loves Disney more than me though 😉 Which Disneylands have you been to?? My favorite is Tokyo Disneyland!

[Why do you stay?]

Working as a nurse can be really difficult, let alone as a hospital nurse... so why do you stay?

I'll go first: the flexibility with having a family. Nursa has given that to me!

[NEWBIES]

Lots of little things... honestly navigating the place can be a little scary!

[Units]

Favorite unit to work and why?

[Must have's!]

I need my snacks!!! I'm always eating and can't go more than two hours without something to give me energy. Nothing harder than a shift where you don't eat at all

[Hospitals FTW]

Favorite part about working in hospitals vs. other facilities??

[Bodily Fluids]

All of the above hahaha but nothing is worse than cleaning up someone's puke!!!

[Hospital Probs]

Is there anything you do at the hospitals you work at to combat frustrating administration that won't listen to their nurses' needs?

[Ick]

Ok guys - what are the grossest things you come across as a nurse??? I'll go first: barf. 🤢
