Which Taylor Swift Era Are You? Nurse Edition 

Taylor has a song (or era) for just about every mood, milestone, and moment. Let’s be honest, nursing is kind of like that, too. From the adrenaline-pumping chaos of ICU to the soft, sparkly heart of Pediatrics, every specialty has its own “Taylor Era” energy. 

So… which Taylor Swift era are you as a nurse? Let’s find out: 

Taylor Swift Nurse Edition: Which Era Are You?

ICU Nurse – Reputation Era  

You thrive under pressure. The ICU is intense, unpredictable, and demands a nurse who can keep calm while the world is burning. Reputation is all about power, resilience, and fighting through chaos … basically, a soundtrack for every code blue you’ve ever conquered.  

Pediatrics Nurse – Lover Era 

You bring all the color, kindness, and glitter into your unit. Whether it’s decorating IV poles with stickers or calming nervous parents, you radiate warmth and empathy. Lover is soft, dreamy, and full of heart – just like the way you care for little ones. 

ER Nurse – Red Era 

Passion, intensity, and constant emotional highs and lows. ER life is fast, fiery, and sometimes feels like you’re living inside a whirlwind love story that changes every shift. Red captures that exact energy – beautiful, tragic, and unforgettable. 

Labor & Delivery Nurse – Speak Now Era 

Full of magic, life-changing moments, and dramatic plot twists. One second, you’re calming a nervous mom, the next you’re sprinting to grab the OB team. Speak Now has that fairytale-meets-intensity vibe – a perfect fit for nurses who witness brand-new beginnings every shift. 

OR Nurse – Midnights Era 

Precise. Calculated. A little mysterious. OR nurses keep everything running behind the scenes like clockwork, and you know how to thrive in the quiet intensity of a midnight shift. Midnights is thoughtful, deliberate, and full of secrets – just like the operating room. 

Meg-Surg Nurse – Fearless Era 

The backbone of nursing. You’re adaptable, dependable, and the first love of so many nurses who started their careers on your floor. Fearless is all about growth, learning, and taking on challenges head-on – the perfect anthem for a Med-Surg nurse. 

Psych Nurse – The Tortured Poets Department Era 

Empathetic, insightful, and tuned into the human experience. You know how to hold space for stories, emotions, and struggles that others might shy away from. The Tortured Poets Department is complex, lyrical, and deeply human – exactly the kind of energy Psych Nurses bring to every shift. 

Oncology Nurse – Evermore Era 

Gentle strength, resilience, and endless compassion. Oncology nursing is full of deep bonds and emotional journeys. Evermore reflects that bittersweet mix of hope, heartache, and grace that defines your specialty. 

Travel Nurses – The Life of a Showgirl Era 

Every new assignment is a brand-new stage, and you’re the star. You pack up, move cities, and instantly shine under the hospital lights – no matter the chaos behind the curtain. Just like a true showgirl, you’re fearless, adaptable, and unforgettable everywhere you go.

Nurses Notes…Charting Errors

We have all been there at least once. Reading through the previous shifts charting, you’ve seen it. The nurse note charting error that makes you laugh out loud. When we are in a hurry or stressed, sometimes spellcheck isn’t enough.

OOPS! Moments

  • “Patient ambulates independently in hell with a front wheeled walker.”
  • “the patient may shower with assistants…”
  • “The patient was prepped and raped in the usual manner.” Found on Post-op patient chart
  • “Her pap smear was done on the floor.”
  • “Shortness of breath on excretion.”
  • “Patient lying in bed. Easily aroused” – the patient had a penile implant; easy mistake for a first-semester student.
  • “Scrotal dressing intact” – when last seen was a sacral dressing.
  • “Pedal pulses diminished” – which was reasonable, as both of the patient’s legs had been amputated.
  • “Patient nauseated but refused anti-emetics as he stated he’d feel much better if he could just get it up.”
  •  “Patient found this nurse in bed hot and diaphoretic.”
  • “Pt has been hospitalized for constipation twice within the last 60 days. Several tests were run, but nothing concrete came out.”
  • “Large brown stool ambulating in the hallway.”
  • The patient is awake and alert, with many visitors in bed.
  • “She was sick after coming back from the zoo as she had eaten too many penguins.” (Chocolate bars)
  • “The patient states that he has been feeling much better since he stopped drinking and going to church.”
  • “She is numb from her toes down.”
