Welcome to The Nurse Break Room đź’›
You know that fantasy break room with the working ice machine, snacks that aren’t stale, and enough chairs for everyone? This is the online version—minus the judgmental charge nurse energy.
This is your space to vent about the 3am admission to your already swamped assignment without getting called into the manager’s office for “attitude.” A community where we support each other instead of crying alone in the supply closet (though we’ve all been there, and no judgment if that’s still your go-to).
Here, we talk about the real stuff: how to get your nervous system out of permanent code-blue mode, why you can’t sleep even though you’re bone-tired, and how to stop running on nothing but spite and cold coffee.
We get it. The missed breaks, the moral injury, the “healthcare hero” signs that disappeared faster than the hazard pay. You’re not broken, you’re burned out and you’re definitely not alone.
Pull up a (virtual) chair. You deserve a break 🫶🏻
