Namechanged as potentially outing to colleagues.
End of programme student nurse here, just finished an awful shift. A teenager was brought in earlier having taken a massive overdose of prescription drugs and alcohol, the aftermath was horrific to watch and now I’m home, I cannot get the images of her out of my mind. It’s the first case like this I’ve seen and it’s unlikely to be the last. I just wondered if any more experienced HCPs have any tips on how to block this shit out when you get home, because all I can think about is her little face and the damage she’s done to herself. Sorry to put this on AIBU but I just can’t shake this one off.
