A woman who says she began her career as an intensive care unit nurse months after the COVID-19 pandemic began is speaking out about the toll of learning the job while being inundated with severely sick patients as hospital beds now fill up again....
Kathryn Ivey, who reportedly works in a Nashville, Tenn., hospital, posted a powerful Twitter thread this week describing how her feelings of helplessness in earlier stages of the pandemic have transitioned to anger...
... Ivey’s reflections offer a glimpse into the grief being shouldered by health care workers on the front lines....
“Walking through the much smaller covid unit was like walking through a graveyard,” Ivey wrote.
But now, “it is so much worse, this time,” Ivey continued. “We all have so much less to give. We are still bearing the fresh and heavy grief of the last year and trying to find somewhere to put all this anger. But the patients don’t stop coming. And the anger doesn’t stop coming.”
Ivey described feeling defeated at the same time, like “Nothing we do makes a difference.”

It's a hard life lesson to accept that some things you can fix and some things you just can't. Especially when that mental box of can't fix grows so much larger than the mental box of good to go.
Real life is a bitch for newly minted RN’s
Usually don’t work in ICU
She may be suffering from extreme cognitive dissonance. For reasons many here will know inherently.
Certainly nothing you do makes a difference, when the quacks are actively sabotaging inexpensive therapeutics in order to enrich billionaires and help the murderous pols control the peasants.
Tell her to get Ivermectin and anti-body transfusions and she’ll feel better about her job again.
Doing nothing for patients and watching them get worse isn’t good for anyone but if you’re a rookie, well, figure it out.
The pressure of not admitting or revealing what you know to be true can be devastating.
It didn’t have to be like this???!!!😩😩😩😱😱
You’re on a roll.
You're exactly correct.
She like most if not almost all in that field has surely been medicating herself with one or another widely known COVID-19-effective therapeutic like HCQ or Ivermectin or both for almost as long as the recent unpleasantness has been underway. Let any of them known to have at least half a brain try to deny it. They would fool nobody with 1/4 of a brain.
Nurse Ratchett,.. please pick up the courtesy phone at the customer service desk !
She must be a real pleasure to be around with that attitude and bedside manner.
Time to get over yourself, .. and due your duty !
That's what you signed up for, and get paid to do
“No, I’m sorry. My quack supervisor-doctor says you can’t have the benign therapeutic that’s cheaper than a bottle of Walmart Oak Leaf ‘because reasons’.”
“Nothing we do makes a difference.”
Nurses complaining that they aren’t taken seriously? Wonder why …
Time for some new choreographed TikTok dance displays from the fatigued medical community
One thing you can fix is stop making up outright lies. This is PURE PROPAGANDA.
Why were these people in the ICU admitted? What covid specific treatments were being given to these patients in order to try to save their lives? What medications were given?
They never want to answer those questions because it would expose stories like this for the evil commie propaganda that it is.
“Real life is a bitch for newly minted RN’s
Usually don’t work in ICU”
My GF is an RN for many, many years. She doesnt bitch like little Karen aka Kathryn. The leftard scare megaphone called Boston Globe just found one spineless RN on Twitter and ran with it.
this sh*t again. saw this kind of crap a lot a year ago. people that chose the medical profession are pissed off because they have to practice medicine.
> “It didn’t have to be like this.”
Talk to Fauci about his gain of function research. Don’t blame those who are skeptical of the exact people who caused the pandemic.
Why, it's almost like there is a concerted effort to run propaganda featuring nurses spouting talking points.
