I’m a newly registered nurse, and I’ve been struggling a lot with work and mental health issues, I’ve been wanting to resign for some time now because the pay and anxiety that comes with it just doesn’t feel worth it. and well, to add up, today, I lost my Dad while i was on duty, and I only found out that he passed away 3 hours later. All throughout the car ride going home, I was blaming myself for not being there, and I was also thinking maybe I could’ve done anything to save him if I didn’t go to work today. It felt cruel to me that while my own Dad was dying, I was taking care of other sick patients, when I could’ve taken care of him instead.

My dad knows how much I’ve been struggling at work but he never really said anything. This letter the driver gave me just felt like it was from him. 🫂
