I'm a nurse, I work as many hours as my work gives me... I've applied to over 200 jobs in the last 6 months alone... and I am completely broke.
The company I work for pays below minimum wage, my wage barely pays my bills and leaves little to survive on afterward... next week I have been rostered 12 hours... for an entire week. I won't even be able to pay off my bills.
I've been begging for food on random Facebook groups and have had little success.... I've sold off almost all of my possessions. I live on a friends couch. I have nothing but my car and dog to my name.
But I don't let my patients ever see that I am broke. Every day I am at work... 30 minutes early, showered and smelling like roses with a huge smile on my face... because these people come to you in times of need for help... both physically and mentally... and I love seeing my patients leave happy and content with the care I provided. I listen to their stories and whinges. I hold them while the cry and even when they scream. I scrape off nasty things and fix hurting things. I protect against disease, and help to identify it.
I am there to be their angel in a time of darkness, and I love being that angel.
I just wish there were someone looking after me.

Being a nurse is tough. When we zoom by for 5 minutes on rounds, the nurses are the ones spending hours with the patient and telling us what they really need.
But the turnover I personally see in our unit is huge - its a hugely stressful job, and financial reimbursement and work/life balance are often poor.
Followed for the healthcare team solidarity.
This doc is behind you.
