As soon as I finished the interviews I was feeling really confident until I started overthinking it too! I'm beating myself up because I didn't give "perfect" answers, but I'm sure many people are feeling that way. At the end of the day it's over and we can't change it, so here is hoping for the best! ??

Just received confirmation of EQi consent, she said I would get the assessment today or tomorrow

Thank you everyone for all the support! I didn't really anticipate anyone even replying to me so thank you! I appreciate the explanations and helpful advice so much. It has just been difficult dealing with death as well as all the new things you learn in critical care, not to mention I'm going through a divorce with someone who blames my job for the divorce ? (not the reason.) It has all been so hard and I'm glad I found this community!

Hi everyone! This is my first time on here. my counselor suggested I find a nursing support community or group. I've been a nurse for 4 years and recently moved to the ICU from General Cardiac. When I was working cardiac I felt like I was helping people and they were getting better which is why I started nursing in the first place. I was excited to move to ICU to learn new things and new skills. Well after 6 months there I just feel sad. All of my patients die. I don't know if this is a COVID thing or if ICU has always been like this. I feel like a hospice nurse. I don't want to move back to cardiac because I am learning a lot and getting to do a lot of new things that I love, I just hate having to watch my patients die all the time and having to tell their family that they are gone. I find myself grieving them when I get home and feeling overwhelmed. Any advice or kind words?
