This is more of a tool, but I have a set of 4” knipex cobra pliers that are perfect for around the house. Just small enough to fit into about any space, super grippy, and you can easily make minute adjustments to the plier spacing. I’ve used them more than any other tool I own.
Oh, and noise-canceling headphones (ideally over-the-ear). Instant quality of life upgrade.
It sounds like you are possibly in an ambulatory role (maybe?) with patient education. My spouse has bounced between a few different floor positions, including ICU, then went to ambulatory, and now does outpatient chemo infusion as sort of a compromise. Each move corresponded with burnout. The floor became too rough, ambulatory became too boring and bureaucratic (but learned a LOT from providers), but the outpatient infusion setting seems to strike a good balance, at least for now. She heavily considered a NP/PA route, but it’s more school, money, and you’re on salary with long hours (no overtime!). Sufficed to say, there’s probably a niche for you too!
Sounds like you’re salty. You know what’s not salty? New Coke. Catch the Wave.

“You took the box! Let’s see what’s in the box! Nothing! Absolutely nothing! STUPID! You so STU-PIIIIIIIIIIID!”
Yeah, this is some shit. I miss the days when you could pay like $50 for a year and got a card that discounted 10% off everything. I abused that thing.
Whatever Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was.
Maybe it’s lithium-ion rutting season
Always follow the instructions on the label in case it’s hang-dry only, dry everything on low, turn your jeans inside-out, and never use fabric sheets (wool dryer balls work almost as well without the chemicals).
Leaving without saying a word is the best thing you can do. This will be far from the last time. It’s stupid how much abuse nurses take, and are expected to take. Sadly, the hospital is not there for you, they are there for the paying “customers” no matter how much they say abuse isn’t tolerated.
Also know if someone yells that they’re going to sue, they’re more than likely bluffing — the real lawsuits happen quietly and without announcement. Make sure you always document everything, no matter how trivial, and cover your ass. The chart is where management will go first.

Just a wild guess, the one with all the freedom
I threw up every morning from anxiety.
Shoe on head pls
They blue themselves?
I think this one works just as well despite being 3 years old.
Nothing against the overseas sellers on their products (frequently excellent), but this is a common webpage design, and it bums me out when good products are otherwise available beneath the sludge. Looking at you, Wurkkos.
We called that “reading diagonally”
