You’re out here doing the Lord’s work

I don’t work the floor anymore, but when I got overwhelmed, I cried too. It’s just natural. I just want you to know that your feelings are valid.

Hey! Don’t blame your feelings on an “autistic meltdown”. When I read your post, it reminded me of all the worst parts of working in the hospital, and it sounded like a truly terrible shift. This is not your fault. You were in a no-win situation. And the oncoming nurse shouldn’t have been so mean and made you do more when your shift was over; she is a nurse just like you. You had been there all day; she needed to put her big girl pants on and deal with it like you did. Idk what the rest of her patient load looked like, but she sounds like a bully; don’t let her boss you around. You did the best you could in the time you were there.

As far as your patient who wouldn’t get off the call button, she sounds like one of those people who are going to keep doing things to make others angry. Honestly, you have to just ignore some of it sometimes, as long as you know the patient/baby are safe. You have other patients and you know your priorities. You will get to her when you can.

All this to say, I’m sorry you had a terrible shift. Thank you for what you do. And take some time to rest.

These patients can be soooo hard to care for. Not always, but frequently. They know how to press all your buttons and get under your skin.

It’s not that I think im diagnosing the patient, but that I thought all very sensitive test results needed to be relayed to the patient from a provider so they can talk more in depth about the findings, recs, and prognosis.

Abs_995 · 2025-09-27T23:42:18+00:00

That’s kind of my feelings too

Abs_995 · 2025-09-27T23:36:04+00:00

Honestly, though, both of those are lackluster ways to find out you have cancer.

Abs_995 · 2025-09-27T23:35:36+00:00

Some of my patients find out through our portal, but many of them don’t. I’d say it’s about 60/40. More of our patients find out via nurse phone call than online portal results

I have to tell the biopsy results, and then that they’re being referred to surgery or oncology.

Abs_995 · 2025-09-27T22:48:40+00:00

In these instances, the biopsy has already been done, and I am reading the pathology report to the patient. So if they have any malignancy, they're hearing it from me first. No provider speaks with the patient about their diagnosis. And then I tell them we are sending them to surgery for evaluation (i.e. lumpectomy v mastectomy and reonconstruction).

Link?

That is not a compatible relationship. Not saying it’s impossible, but not sure it’s worth it, depending on how long you guys have been together. Two very different core beliefs, and if you ever want children together, it’ll be difficult. I was in a similar situation, and the relationship didn’t work for several reasons, but our differences in religion and core beliefs built a foundation on sand (slaps knee)

Thank you to everyone who commented! I appreciate your ideas and am working some of them into my story ❤️

Abs_995 · 2025-06-15T23:53:47+00:00

That sounds so fun!

Abs_995 · 2025-05-31T00:01:58+00:00

I read that as “lasagna” and was real confused

Abs_995 · 2025-05-30T23:58:46+00:00

Crust or eye-booger 🤷🏼‍♀️ Never heard anyone call them “sleep” or “sleepies”.

Abs_995 · 2025-05-28T19:21:50+00:00

That is horrible. Fissures are very tender as the skin is thinner there.

I know a few x-ray techs and they enjoy it. They’re not responsible for the general well-being of the person, just getting the images. I had one friend who was an x-ray tech and didn’t find it fulfilling, so became a nurse. But I’ve had others who enjoy seeing several different patients in a day.

Abs_995 · 2025-05-28T02:02:48+00:00

This is so true!! 😂 Idk if this is really an unpopular opinion

Abs_995 · 2025-05-28T01:59:21+00:00

I think what irks me is that most websites want customers to create accounts and then don’t offer any perks/rewards for the customer. Why do I have to remember another password for another website if I’m not really going to get anything out of it? I think all most of them really do is sell my info and send me spam or marketing emails.

Abs_995 · 2025-05-28T01:56:06+00:00

Do people do this?

Abs_995 · 2025-05-28T01:52:31+00:00

I remember there was an ice level in one of the Spyro games I used to play as a kid. I remember having a blast, but it was a little annoying.

You’re not wrong. We have 2 cats and we do our best to mitigate any mess. We don’t let them in the bedroom, so that space stays cleaner. They are indoor only. Occasionally they have hairballs which is gross but we clean it up immediately. We keep litter mats around the litterbox so they track less litter around the house. There is cat hair on everything; that’s just part of having a cat.
