Venting

[CJisRNBSN]

Hey everyone,

I was just curious if other people are in the same boat as I am in terms of wanting to talk to people about their day. No one in my family is in the healthcare field, and no one in my family can really understand what I'm always talking about. I find it a little bit frustrating to not necessarily have people in my life that can relate. Does anyone else feel this too?

For many, that's one of the reasons we're here. There is a bit of anonymity, so changing up details and staying away from anything identifiable allows for venting here, amongst those who will understand.

I feel for you, CJisRN!

My wife Belinda, who is a medical nurse, and I communicate about our jobs regularly, from "How was your shift?" to pausing a DVD and relating a situation to discuss.

We all need to relate. Rose Queen said it all with AN.com being a place to come to discuss, vent, and relate.

Use us as your sounding board!
