Please tell me I'm not the only one whose face goes blank when a patient is oversharing their life story? I was just trying to check a patient's vitals and ended up hearing about all their exes. I just kept nodding!

I call it having my priest collar on! I have the personality that people do this to me all the time. I’ve learned some folks just need a release valve. For the most part I find it an honor people trust me this way…but sometimes it is overwhelming. I’ve learned to hear it, provide a response or support to the person and then move on. Whatever you do, don’t hold all these details in your mind and heart - it is exhausting!

That is just how some people are! Then others are oversharing due to nerves. Tell me all the tea if it makes you feel better.

Smile and nod, smile and nod. Oversharers are everywhere. I got to hear all about one of my patient's son's drug addiction and jail stints. I felt awful for her but also super uncomfortable and could not wait to get out of that room.

Ohhh yes my face tells it all lol I try to hide it

Oh I zone out all of the time. I used to be engaged with these people but I have anywhere from 20 to 30 patients at one time. I can’t pretend to listen to everyone’s story.

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?

Just completed my last shift in the ICU. I'm glad to be shifting back to the Maternatity ward. It was exhausting, and emotionally draining working with such sick patients. I know the work we did made a big difference, but I'm glad to go back to my favorite role!
