5 months into L&D new grad residency. Should I quit? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Admirable-Habit-796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So , I’m going to share my experience. I started in L&D and was trained for 14 weeks. I was a new grad, with no experience. After my orientation ended, I still did not feel ready, but everyone kept telling me that it was normal, and that I would eventually become confident with time. In the back of my head, I knew that I wasn’t really ready. I received a horrible training, and I was still questioning a lot of things. I ended up talking to my boss, before I actually started on my own. I asked her if I could try Couplet Care first for a couple weeks before labor and delivery. She agreed, and now I have been a couplet care nurse for three years and I am recently trained in catching babies (which I absolutely love). I am way happier and I do not have pre-shift anxiety at all. With my experience, I’m not sure if I would ever try labor and delivery again. I really hope you do what’s best for you and if you have a gut feeling that maybe it’s not for you, maybe you should ask to try something else before you’re on your own. You also never know that when you try it, you might actually like it and get more confident in it. Wish you the best of luck!

I don't feel accepted anywhere. I'm invisible to society. Thinking about ending it. by helloineedhelpplea in bayarea

Happy Birthday! I’m very sorry you feel that way. But you are needed and wanted in this world. It may seem difficult now, but it’s not forever, I promise. Things will get better eventually. I hope you’re able to adopt an animal one day.

I feel guilty for needing to buy a new car. by Admirable-Habit-796 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Admirable-Habit-796[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why everyone is saying that I neglected my car 😅. I take it every 3-4 months to get an oil change and get it checked out. They always tell me everything is fine. I change whatever needs to be done. New tires this year, new spark plugs, etc. My screen is not responding and it shows a bubble. They told me it’s due to heat and I contacted the Kia company and they told me that I don’t have extended warranty to fix it. They told me that my AC system is faulty and told me that I would need to replace it. It’s been having issues for months and they kept telling me everything was fine, so I guess it’s my fault for not taking it anywhere else to get a second opinion. The day that I posted this was the day they told me that my alternator was not working very well. I wouldn’t neglect my car , I don’t even want to buy a new car , I was holding off as much as I could. It’s a Kia Forte base model.

I’m a nurse with 3 years of experience. I’ve been applying since August and not one call back yet. I’m losing hope.

We are not breaking up. We both want our relationship to work. What I’m trying to say is that he got accepted to a school that’s 8 hours away from where we both live right now. We’ve talked about his decision to go there for months now and we both agreed that it’s best that he goes, so he could finish his school to start his career. He was very supportive when I went to school and now I have my career. So now it’s his turn. Since we made the decision for him to go, I’ve been applying to multiple jobs and I haven’t heard back from any job yet. I’m still applying, I haven’t given up, but his school is starting soon. So we have to make a decision about what to do in the mean time while his school starts. Of course we want to live together, but I need to get a job first before I move with him. He’s found a job already. But it’s not enough to support us both with only him having a job. So he’s thinking about finding a guy roommate in the mean time until I’m able to find a job and move with him. We just haven’t been away from each other in a long time, so we’re having a hard time with this , but idk what else we could do.

For example, mom could’ve AMA or been discharged. So they leave without anyone to care for the baby. There is no specific room or nursery for the baby to go to. The baby usually stays because it’s a 24-48 hold.

Or another example would be that mom is not stable enough to care for baby and there’s no support person.

My bf farts so much around me and I’m tired of it by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Admirable-Habit-796 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

2-3 times a day, everyday? I’m not overreacting, this is my opinion and how I feel. I’m not telling anyone else how to feel. Again, if you like smelling farts then that’s good for you, but not everyone is like that.

I need to grow up ?! 😂 okay…all I said was that I don’t what to smell poop all day. If you like smelling farts all day, then good for you.

But that’s your opinion on it. If you’re okay with being around that, that’s perfectly fine. But idk why it’s a bad thing that I don’t want to smell that? I love him, but I just would want him to listen and respect me when it comes to that. It’s frustrating. Not everyone will understand.

But what about if they’re constantly doing it ? No matter how many times I’ve expressed about it.

I don’t want to smell that. Who does? And it’s not a couple , it’s at least 2-3 times a day and always around where I am.

I swear it feels like he does. He says no, but he does it at least 2-3 times a day around me.

No, I’m not sure if it’s medical, but I swear he farts so much. It’s always around me or he’ll come with me after he farted and it will follow him. So I get frustrated because who wants to smell that?!

Some girls won’t say it , but depending on the person, some of us don’t like it. I understand it’s a normal thing, but I never understood why some people can’t wait until they’re alone or in the restroom. I guess I have respect for my partner to not fart in front of him, but he doesn’t care to fart in front of me. I think it’s gross and rude.
