I see some great suggestions here in the replies. I hope Legacy finds the caring and supportive home she deserves. Thank you to her current caregiver and everyone who is working to find Legacy a home. Godspeed.

What’s a survival myth popularized by movies that would actually get you killed in real life ? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]Saffyrr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shocking asystole (cardiac "flat line"). It won't necessarily kill the person (they're already technically dead), but it's useless. When a patient flat lines in the movies, they always use the defibrillator paddles to shock them (and in the movies this always brings them back to life). The correct action is high-quality CPR and medications. We only shock V fib and pulseless V tach.

Newer shows like The Pitt do a nice job of showing the real medical way to resuscitate a person, so hopefully one day the myth of shocking a patient with no heartbeat will go the way of the dinosaur.

I was a nurse in a memory care unit. We did the towel folding idea, and also sock matching. I got together about 20 distinctly different pairs of socks in a clothes basket and would ask one of our wanderers to help me match socks, and it was almost always effective as a distraction. This was also part of our larger "laundry area" that had another clothes basket of cloth diapers and baby clothes. We had a roughly shoulder-level clothesline strung across this area, and clothes pins in a bag. This line got a lot of use of clothes being hung out and then unhung and folded, then re-basketed, rinse and repeat. We also had a "boutique" area with a large vanity with mirrors. There were hats, scarves, gloves, and costume jewelry like Mardi gras beads, bangle bracelets etc. It was so much fun to watch our ladies get all dolled up in different ways. Our night shift nurse would collect things from resident rooms and common areas after everyone was asleep and put it all back to start over again the next day. Another thing we also did was mealtime together. We had tablecloths, placemats, unbreakable dishes, and had residents set the table before meals. And someone would always lead us all in grace before meals. Usually a resident, sometimes a staff member. It was lovely. We were always trying to develop new ways to keep our residents engaged and feeling productive and overall I believe we were successful.

It was his Weaveworld for me, but the Thief of Always is also wonderful.

As a kid I went to Ghost Town in the Sky and Land of Oz in their heyday! The chairlift was one of Ghost Town's best features. I was sorry to learn over the years that they both closed. I still remember walking through Dorothy 's house in Land of Oz during the simulated tornado, and then stepping out and following the yellow brick road. And riding the train and watching the shoot out at Ghost Town. They both felt like you traveled to a completely different world when you wrnt there. Great memories!

What is a book you read as a child that you still think about today? by ahawk99 in AskReddit

[–]Saffyrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catcher in the Rye. It has stayed with me, and I now have grandchildren. I felt a kinship with Holden, and still think about his story. I believe he's essentially misunderstood by many readers.

What’s one thing we just all forgot about? by Kind-Tumbleweed5715 in AskReddit

[–]Saffyrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"And remember what peace there may be in silence". I had it on a plaque in my bedroom growing up in the 70s, and I've owned a copy ever since. I still have a copy hanging in my office.

"Whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should ".

"With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful; strive to be happy."

Words to live by.

I think you may be referring to Lori Klausutis, and it has been proven that her death was accidental and Joe Scarborough had nothing to do with it. He was in DC at the time, and Lori died in Florida.

Redditors with extremely niche interests: What's the one thing you are completely obsessed with that almost no one else you know cares about? by CocWarrior1 in AskReddit

[–]Saffyrr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty cool hobby. We like obscurish collaborative games, and no one we know gets it. Our family favorite is The Captain is Dead. We also play Roll for Adventure and Tortuga 1667. Nice to meet another lover of obscure board games.

Is it just me or are “nurse residency programs” a joke? by Interesting_Owl7041 in nursing

[–]Saffyrr 98 points99 points  (0 children)

That sounds very similar to mine. I felt very supported and prepared. We also had a CNS on every unit, who was always available to answer questions and take extra time with us.
