Don’t know what to think

I’ve been a nurse for almost 8 years. I get that there are a lot of ups and downs with nursing, but over the past couple of months, I’ve just been dealing with a lot of dumb stuff at work.

Not sure if it’s bad lucks, bad vibes, or the universe just has it out for me.

Getting roped up in work drama. Patients and family members are mad at the hospital and doctors then take it out on me, making a complaint to the manager.

Patient’s sister who’s supposedly is a “nurse”, trying to argue with me about how a NG to LIS is supposed to work after the doctor spent 20 mins explaining it to her. Then she got mad at me for explaining it to her again, and making a complaint.

It feels like no matter what I do, it’s not good enough, and I end up just being a punching bag for patients and family members. I hate that this is taking time and energy away from me outside of work.

Going to burn some sage to hopefully rid of all this negative energy.
