Hope everyone is having a good day/night!<3 :-)
I am not a nurse but I do work in a hospital. My current hospital is a small community hospital with only 4 ICU beds. So, I cover that plus the acute care unit plus the psychiatric unit and may start seeing outpatients. Previously, I was in a larger hospital with a 20 bed ICU. But even there, I didn't see trauma patients. Trauma patients usually go to specialty hospitals. There are also hospitals that have cardiac ICUs and surgical ICUs. I say this because working in an ICU might not be so bad. I think it probably depends on the hospital. I have never seen a severe burn patient, for example. (I did see someone who burned their foot but not someone who, for example, has most of their body burned.)I would say the more common issues are diabetes complications (DKA, diabetic coma), respiratory issues (like COPD, allergic reactions), stroke, heart attacks.Thats super awesome, homie! The fact that you work in the hospital that is... I live in a pretty populated city, the hospital that I live close to has 233 beds. Definitely not the biggest, but other hospitals around have more/less. Just depends on the area. I definitely think if I worked in the bigger city I would be dealing with a lot of OD patients. I'm mainly on the fence for it because I know once I'd get into the drive of the unit, I probably wouldn't transfer out of it. I feel like my working style is just intense stress that makes me forget how many hours has been since I started my shift. Though I like it, it is so emotionally/physically/EVERYTHING draining. Working in the deli alone makes me an absolute wreck. I take work seriously and its a big reason why I wanna finish my degree and get out of school. I just wanna do what I want but obviously the deli isn't comparable to directly helping people with their health.

hello, im sending strength to fellow bimbos, himbos n ximbos of all genders that turned twenty recently or in past couple of years and have no idea what to do with their lives </3As for you my dearest friend, *if you wanna hear this out,* never think there's a set time for you to figure things out. Even though I knew exactly what I wanted (for example becoming a nurse), it wasn't easy at all for me to get to the point where I could see it as a possibility. Honestly I felt so crushed for about 4 years and it was only this summer I actually enrolled in a nursing program. The waitlist for it are absolutely unreal and I went through the biggest slump of my life right at the start of college- first semester of first year. My GPA was literally a 0 because I failed my exams and missed one of them. I had the worst breakup with my bestfriend, to make a super long story short- shit hit the fucking roof. I kept taking classes just for the sake of telling my mom I was doing something when in reality I genuinely didn't stand a chance to enroll. The waitlist went up to 4 years ALONE and I still wasn't able to take the pre-requisites for it. It felt wrong to lie to my mom, I didn't want her to know what was happening cause not only would I probably get my ass whooped, she'd just be so upset. This summer I finally enrolled in a nursing program (LPN) at a different college because at this point I wanted to find my options. If only I knew this sooner and didn't waste money on random ass shit but hey- did you know your collarbone doesn't fully grow into your body till you're 18? Took that in forensics... B-)
