Hey /adv/ a little green text to be quick about my worries >be me, nurse student >almost done with the degree >at the end of each semester, they send you to an actual hospital to apply what you learned>It's just 1 week for each subject >This semester for me was working with babies and kids with special needs and urgency, idk how you would call it in the states, but it's everything from a gun shot, to a car crash, strokes, stuff like that I have never been someone who speaks about his feelings, but the last 2 weeks i saw 2 people die, one just as she was put on the stretcher, and i had to clean her up right after she died, and a middle-aged man who died from a heart attack after we tried rcp for like an hour after having pulse a few times. And honestly, i feel that it doesn't affect me that much as of right now, but today i saw how a baby of like a year fell from his cradle, and it is a big ass cradle, since it's made so babies can't climb it up, didn't work, and it was in an instant, i saw him sleeping like 10 seconds before and wasn't even able to react to it, the nurse who was with me was closer but turned her back too. Idk, seeing that baby fall like a big potato to the floor was something that i didn't expect to affect me that much, thankfully the baby didn't hurt himself at first glance, but it puked, which isn't a good sign. At the moment, i haven't spoken a word about this with anybody, and im not sure if i should, they say that it's bad to bring the nursery work to home, but at the same time they say that you should talk about stuff to relief yourself, but i haven't experienced that. What would you do in my position?
Do your best man

>>32623516Don't they offer couselling, either in your school or in the hospital? Doctors and nurses witness the most terrible things. They may develop a hard shell but at least at the start the need help in protecting themselves.
You should talk about it. Do you have anyone irl you can do that with? Like a parent/sibling/friend? Those things take a toll and if it affects you, then you have to process it or it will become an issue.
>>32625749In the school they do, but it's not for nurses only, so it's your regular school psychologist, so a pretty bad one or so i've heard. idk about the hospital, since im not an actual employee of it>>32625750I have a couple friends that i could talk about it, but that's it, some people i feel that if i talk about it with them they will worry more than they should, not many like to think about death.
