If you’ve ever worked a shift that felt like chaos…
questioned everything you did after…
and still showed up the next day—

you’re in the right place.

This isn’t the polished version of healthcare.

This is the real one.

The messy, unpredictable, sometimes hilarious, sometimes overwhelming reality of being a nurse.

From toddlers to dementia patients…
the experiences may look different—but the energy?
Strangely the same.

Here you’ll find:

Stories from the floor (the ones we actually talk about after shift)

The chaos, the humor, and the “did that really just happen?” moments

Honest reflections from the days that hit a little harder

And the side eyes… because there are always side eyes

Some days are smooth.
Some feel like survival.
Most are a mix of both.

And somehow, we keep going.

So whether you’re in healthcare, thinking about it, or just curious what it’s really like behind the scenes—

Welcome.

You’re going to laugh.
You’re going to relate.
And you might feel a little less alone.

— Scrubs & Side Eyes
From toddlers to dementia—just trying to keep it together one shift at a time.
