'I am being held against my will': After working a 30 hour shift, nurse calls the police then gets fired for being 'immature'

If you've ever pulled an overtime shift, you know the psychological warfare that goes on throughout every step of that OT journey. Once you pass hour 8 of your work day, your concept of time starts to warp, turning your workplace into an inescapable purgatory in which you're trapped until your next 15-minute break. For the nurse in our next tale, her accidental overtime shift turned into a nightmare after her relief no-showed, the police showed up, and she was ultimately fired.

As the resident nurse of an extensive care facility, u/throwaway-babi was well aware of her company's bad staffing reputation, but because she was passionate about helping people in need, she persevered. However, a standard Saturday 6AM-2PM shift quickly unraveled, locking this selfless nurse into an overnight shift that was certainly not worth the money. Scroll for the heroic tale of a nurse who put her mind and body on the line during a 30-hour shift to protect her patients–as well as all the nitty-gritty details of how she got payback against her negligent boss.

After this, here's another hellacious tale of another hardworking employee whose work morality was put to the test by a snarky airport Karen.
