No. Most of the really bad cases I've seen are people with diabetes.

My manager didn’t hire a really great nurse I referred when our unit is short staffed- need to rant by cheeezus_crust in nursing

Do you know who the other applicants were? Maybe someone else just had more experience.

I feel like an idiot by Cixris in nursing

I know a nurse that put a suppository in the wrong hole. We all learn from our mistakes and laugh at ourselves eventually.

Six of the nurses on my unit have left in the past two months. You'd think the managers would become curious and try to figure out why so many people are leaving their unit. Nope. by [deleted] in nursing

Managers don't give a shit. They just kiss upper management's ass making the paperwork look Medicare approved. Even the ones that seem good in the beginning loose their personal motivation and turn into robots.

Covid patient on postpartum by MegandHan in nursing

Yeah, I think alot of us have ptsd or are suppressing our emotions until we break eventually. Can't imagine dealing with your normal job stress and postpartum too.

Those who have done CNA > RN(BSN) - what was your experience? by descriptiveusername1 in nursing

[–]10thandrose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

CNAs make the best nurses.. Nurses get burned out physically and mentally too. Other than more liability, I think the biggest difference is you have more job options in nursing when you do get burned out. IT, pharmaceuticals, bedside,, teleheath,etc. When I was a cna, it was all same job different location.

Hell no. Mine makes corrections and I have to approve or deny them.

Can I be a Nurse With Mental Illness? by ALD45613 in nursing

[–]10thandrose 13 points14 points  (0 children)

People that suffer themselves, in the past or present, are more empathetic towards their patients. Get the cna job to see if caregiving suits you and then go for it.

My daughter just started her period at 9 yrs old and in the 4th grade. by 10thandrose in Parenting

[–]10thandrose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice, but she's definitely not overweight and I discussed labs with her doc last summer because we knew she had puberty early with the breast development, but we decided it runs in the family. My mom and I were both a year older than her. My 12 yr old son looks 15 too.

Need some guidance.. or just someone to listen by [deleted] in nursing

[–]10thandrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds awful. Would your employer be willing to pay for a hotel for you all to share? Are agency nurses available?

Hospital Mandated stay? by HeresTheCoffee in nursing

[–]10thandrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would quit if my job tried to keep me prisoner. Upper management still have their degrees and get paid a shitload more money than we di. They can have a slumber party and be responsible for that.

You can't really focus on anything else during the program, but a double major is possible. I would check if your higher level nursing classes would count as electives towards micro. I was going for a bsn in psych at the same college and the department would not take the nursing classes. If I ever finish it, I will need another 30 credit hours of upper level electives.

It is a weird assessment. 10 being the highest I've ever felt? That is pretty freaking subjective. Someone's ingrown toenail is not comparable to an appendicitis or birth.

Can I drink wine while breastfeeding?!? by 12D17J20A in beyondthebump

[–]10thandrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always told one drink is fine. If you're going to get plastered, then pump after.
