Arrived on shift and was feeling really overtired and emotional from no sleep. The Nurse in Charge was in a very good mood and offered to go get us a round of coffees. Even this small gesture really brightened my day. It is harder for me to feel overwhelmed when my colleagues are happy and not stressed- wish that we could maintain this good mood but it completely depends on our workload and support that day.
I successfully performed two drain removal under supervision- this was something I had been terrified of doing as a student- so it felt good to overcome a longstanding fear.
