Worst day maybe ever!?!



Recommended Posts

So I really need to vent a bit. I started at a new clinic today at the Air Force medical hospital I work at. I had prided myself by being all prepared and was feeling pretty great and had went almost 2 days without vomiting..I was super pepped as I had weighed this morn my 1 mo post op and was down 25.3lb!!! I get to work and I am working in pediatrics. I have worked many areas including er,surgery, and hospice..I'm a nurse and have saw some pretty awful things!!! I am brand new meeting my coworkers and the dr I'm working for today and around 11 I go in with the dr and another coworker to assist with a circumcision. Well the baby is crying and finally numbed up and I am trying to comfort and soothe the baby. Idk if it was the heat, the sheer horror of what I was seeing being done to the baby,bending over to the table to comfort the baby for so long..or just dehydration but I made it to the very end of of procedure and fainted!!! I remember feeling lightheaded and my vision blurred and I was in a sweat And I was embarrassed And didn't want to say anything. I kept trying to breathe thru it and remain calm and just be professional. I remember saying something like .." I don't feel so good" and then I came to in a chair. Apparently I managed to get it out and was heard by the coworker and he was able to grab me before I hit the floor and drug me to a chair. I am utterly horrified. Embarrassed!!! There's not enough words to describe how upset and embarrassed I am cause I feel it made me look like a weak nurse!!! My very 1st day and I swear I can't make this crap up!! I don't think it was a huge thing then talked about but I'm sure I had a few snickers. Just horrified..anyways..there was my day and tomorrow we leave on a road trip so I can kinda hope it won't be as fresh next week when I go back...hope everyone else had a better day!!!!!

I've had several people tell me they've passed out. Are you getting over 60 oz of Water? are you getting all your Protein? I'm sorry that happened. :( that sucks.

I'm sure you'll make it up though.

Oh, and remember: you were cut up, rearranged and put back together little bit ago. You're good.

I think I was a little low this morn but for the most part I've been pretty good at forcing the fluids even when I don't want to

After all you were at a medical facility so I'm sure if anyone will understand they will. Don't sweat it. It's happened to my sister a few times over the last 8 years and her job loves her.

Thank u for that...I'm just having a pride issue. :) fortunately the dr I was with was very nice and didn't seem put out. He did tell me I wasn't the 1st I just hate it was my 1st day .. I'm such a perfectionist and very prideful

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
