Is post-shift anxiety normal? I often go over the day when I get home and worry that I left something unchecked or didn't do something properly.

I would say common, definitely not normal. I don’t mean that in a negative way towards you at all. I suffer with this too. Its hard to shut it off at times. It’s almost like a form of ptsd. I have been using the Calm app and its been helpful, as well deep breathing exercises.

I’ve been a nurse for 27 years and still go over the day on my way home. Once I’m home I shut it down!

During my first year as a nurse, I had anxiety before, during and after work. I just had to learn how to manage it. It gets easier. Find what works for you.

Yeah I 100% agree my first year as a nurse I was anxious and over thinking stuff but as you gain confidence you’ll leave it behind.

Yes normal

Not uncommon at all, especially for newer nurses. You have to spend the time learning the best ways to manage that anxiety for you personally. I found long walks after work listening to music really helped. When I get home and start focusing on it, I try to redirect my attention.

I hope it is, because I have that too! I've spent all morning wondering whether or not I remembered to update this one patient's chart. Finally had to call my coworker (on my day off) just to make sure because I couldn't concentrate on anything else.

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

Trying to decide on the HDHP Health Insurance. Basic vs. Premium. Benefits says the two are equivalent in coverage except three differences - deductible $3K premium vs $3.5k basic, no monthly payment for basic and no $2K company contribution for basic HDHP. What am I missing here. Why would t one not go for basic as you are ahead by about $1K. Any explanations or thoughts?
