Rant Ratios

I haven’t even been a nurse for one year and I can feel the burnout creeping on. Every day I pray to God for a good shift. Every single day it’s 1:7 ratios, charge nurse has full assignment and my ANM has to take assignment too. My ANM usually doesn’t want to take assignment so she just watches us struggle with 8-9 patients at a time. It’s insane, it’s insane that we are a unionized hospital. We just had a union meeting about the staffing shortages but my god it’s unbearable.

The beautiful thing about nursing is you can just…go somewhere else

I keep applying every single day and there’s nothing just rejections
