Hills I'll die on as a nurse...
1️⃣ No one deserves to die alone — you drop what you're doing and sit with them
2️⃣ Pain is what the patient says it is, not what the chart says it should be
3️⃣ You treat the belligerent drunk and the sweet grandma with the same standard of care
4️⃣ Comfort measures still means full nursing care, not less attention
5️⃣ Families grieve differently and none of it is your business to judge
6️⃣ The patient's dignity doesn't end when they're unconscious
7️⃣ You never talk badly about another provider in front of a patient, even when they screwed up
8️⃣ If you don't know, you say you don't know — nobody dies from you asking a question
9️⃣ Documentation isn't optional CYA busywork, it's how the next shift keeps someone alive
🔟 A "difficult patient" is usually just a scared patient
1️⃣1️⃣ Float pool nurses deserve the same respect as your regular unit staff
1️⃣2️⃣ Working through your break isn't dedication, it's a staffing failure being pushed onto you
1️⃣3️⃣ Missing a meal to "prove" you're tough is not a badge of honor
1️⃣4️⃣ You're allowed to cry in the supply closet and still be a good nurse
1️⃣5️⃣ Burnout isn't a personal failing, it's math (short staffing + acuity + time)
1️⃣6️⃣ Going home on time isn't abandoning your patients
1️⃣7️⃣ New grads deserve real orientation, not "here's your badge, good luck"
1️⃣8️⃣ Nurses eat their young is a choice, not a tradition worth keeping
1️⃣9️⃣ The best charge nurses protect their staff, not just the schedule
2️⃣0️⃣ Admin making a decision from a spreadsheet doesn't know what floor reality looks like
2️⃣1️⃣ Some shifts you don't have answers, you just have presence
2️⃣2️⃣ Praying with a patient who asks isn't unprofessional, it's meeting them where they are

Which stand out to you? What else would you add?
