Why You Don’t Have to Leave Nursing to Cut Your On-the-Job Stress

How do people commute out here? I have over an hour commute by public transport and I don’t get how people do this because I am exhausted

I can’t tell if my apathy toward work and failure to meet deadlines is due to burnout or my diagnosed ADHD or both. None of my colleagues know that I have ADHD or take medicine for it and am afraid that telling them about it will hurt my chances at making partner. Any advice or similar experiences to share?

Anyone feel like self-control is more difficult on stimulants in general? Like reflecting back on things, thinking before speaking, holding out on pleasure activities

Mom of two here (21 month old and 5 month old) who is starting to consider having a third. I am in my late 30’s and my doctor just recommended I start trying at 6 months postpartum. I am thinking I want to start closer to 8-10 months postpartum but have no idea what to expect with a third. Is anyone in a similar situation? Moms or Dads of two, do you ever look back and wish you had tried for three? Moms or Dads of three, how was the transition from two to three and how much did life change?

Has anyone here had a difficult recovery post-egg retrieval? It’s been 3 days and I’m still in a lot of pain. The medical team said I should expect to be uncomfortable for 5-7 days or more due to the high number of eggs retrieved (=very swollen ovaries) and it will take 2 weeks to get back to normal.

Anxious *non*-depressive here — what treatments and medications are available and effective?

I get a horribly anxious reaction to the thought of interactions that I need to have as part of the normal course of my job. It’s plain, irrational fear, and I know it’s holding me back. But I’m generally otherwise happy.

Asking directly as I’m struggling to find posts that don’t have depression hand-in-hand (my heart goes out to you all). Thank you and take care everyone.

I started Vyvanse two days ago and have been getting really bad headaches. Has anyone else experienced that? 🥲 I have been drinking water and eating protein but I feel awful, had to take the afternoon off

Anyone else’s brain feel dazed and useless? Kids are a factor but even when I get time, I can’t focus. Tried exercise, outdoors, caffeine, vitamins, sleep, prescribed meds, etc.

I just got a new job offer for a new company. I haven’t disclosed my pregnancy - I worked really hard for it and didn’t want to risk it - when should I tell them? I’m 15 weeks.

What's your go-to work music? Or do you work better in complete silence? I can't work in silence without my brain getting loud, so I listen to house music or jazz while I work. My sister (who also has ADHD) can't get anything done unless it's dead silent. Just wondering what works for others

How did you cope with post-grad depression? I feel like my life has stalled a bit.

I have my baseline appointment for FET tomorrow… our first transfer cycle since a loss in March. I’m pretty scared considering how the last one ended. Can anyone share their story of a successful pregnancy after experiencing a loss?

How do you get enough protein per day? Trying to put on some muscle and aiming for about 200g of protein each day and I am struggling to even get near that!!

How does your office handle late patients when it's weather/road related? We had a patient show up 10 minutes late and threw a hissy fit because he had driven 40 miles on snowy roads to get there. And I felt bad, but we legitimately could not squeeze him in.

What kind of health plan, a PPO or HDHP, would you recommend to someone that goes to an out of network provider?

Hello!

I believe I am depressed and my therapist told me that I am showing signs of depression. I worked very hard to get my current job in July 2021 and currently, I am not liking what I do for work. I also had a hard break up in May 2021. From May - July 2021 I developed eating disorders and I hardly ate one meal a day. Right now, I am on the other extreme. I eat a lot, crave junk food and I don't exercise. As soon as I get done with work at 5, I start binge watching movies/series. Cont.

From the outside, it can sometimes seem like there’s an overwhelming number of negative or alarming news. What’s it like being on the other side and having to be the one constantly reporting on these events?

Federal Register confirms 2023’s 8.7% COL increase. Associate at Ogletree and my expected 2023 base salary will NOT reflect a full 8.7% increase from my 2022 salary. So I’ll effectively accept a pay cut IF I stay with OD in 2023. Also seems to mean my added yr of seniority/experience is effectively not accounted for in 2023’s salary. Is this a universal experience across comparable firms or are other firms doing across-the-board increases in light of 2023’s 8.7% COL jump? Am I overthinking this?

Does anyone else ever feel like their parents lean too heavily on them for financial support? Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love them and I’m so thankful. It just seems like the older they get, the less shy they are about asking for things and I’m hitting a point where I’m going to have to start saying no.

Within the next 18 mo I will be considered for taking over a nurse management job in the OR. This is a small rural hospital in the Midwest. I’m already currently absorbing some of the job responsibilities, especially when the current manager is OOT. I do not get compensated for the extra work done in her absence but will soon be expected to train into that roll in the months prior to her retirement. Do I ask for raise before I agree to train into that roll? What is that job worth?

Alternatives to plasma transfusions for COVID patients- are there any?

Corporate suggested me for a DON position in TX. I currently live in SD and work as ADON. Corporate said minimum salary would be 115k. Then flew me there for 2 weeks to see the building (nursing home). They all loved me, as does corporate. But my offer today was 90k. When I said I was told 115k they countered with 100k. I said I’d think about it over the weekend but really am looking for at least 110k. Have to sell my house and move and rebuy w higher interest rates. What do you think??
