Going very well. Getting through some burnout and starting to see some light.

Work as an RN in a small rural hospital so I see code blues here and there. The other night another RN calls a code blue on a patient that went into sustained vfib/vtach. I was second in to the room and the patient looks like they are seizing. I think their heart has stopped at this point.
I have my gloves on and I am just waiting to see if they are pulseless (couldn't tell if they were breathing being on bipap already). They all of a sudden start talking to the primary RN and snap out of the dangerous heart rhythm on their own.
That patient was a second or two away from having a 300lb man forcibly compressing their chest to keep their blood pumping.
My week has been a mixed bag. Spending a lot of time with my family (been great!), but having to spend a lot of money to have some big (and old/rotting/dangerous) trees cut down has been more stressful than I expected.
Could be better. Apartment management sent my lease renewal my way and it’s $200 more expensive. This is the third year in a row that I’ll have had an increase like that.
I can’t afford the new rent, but I can’t afford to move, either.
relatable experience; this is the situation my family is basically stuck in where the rent is borderline unaffordable for us but anywhere else would be worse so we just have to hope for the best. hopefully one day it'll be better for everyone, and nobody will have to worry like this about whether they can be housed
It's been going pretty good :) I'm finally off from work and it’s my super Friday! Don't have to go back to the office for a week 🎉🙌🎊
Mine is a rollercoaster of emotions that will hopefully settle soon. And very muggy weather that is leading to some very poor sleep.
However on the positive side if things I am enjoying my first ever rewatch since the original airing of The X-Files and reading The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwyne and it's really bloody good.
I haven't been sleeping well lately, so my productivity has taken a hit. I tend to go through waves of insomnia somewhat regularly. Otherwise, my week has been good.
My week has been kinda sucky, thanks
