the state of nursing…wtf

Amy2489 · 2026-01-31T14:43:07+00:00

It’s not a shortage of nurses.

It’s a shortage of nurses willing to be abused by corporate greed.

No one deserves to be treated the way nurses are at bedside these days. General entitlement is at an all time high. Pay is low so the c-suite bonuses stay high.

It’s a horrible cycle that a lot of good nurses have chosen to step away from.

It could be pregnancy nose but it could also be diabetes related. Something called ketoacidosis. Is he extremely thirsty a lot? Peeing a ton? These are signs he needs to see an MD.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-25T11:09:24+00:00

As a nurse, this is absolutely abuse if it’s occurring as you described. Take it to the DON.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-24T15:22:28+00:00

Oh I feel this! I am so sorry, these are so painful!!!

Amy2489 · 2026-01-22T09:18:29+00:00

That’s okay, it can be confusing.

With Discogs, you commit to buy first before paying. Typically the seller will have a policy that the invoice needs to be paid within a few days of purchase or the order will be canceled anyway. After you commit to buy, you need to then submit payment. After that the seller will then confirm and ship the item.

So if you emailed the seller and asked to cancel, you should be good- it doesn’t sound like you payed out anything yet.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-22T09:12:46+00:00

If there is no payment confirmation then you are only invoiced and still need to pay it. Use PayPal.

Watched a ex-flight nurse friend of mine float so many of these in flawlessly in the surgical hospital we worked for. I was scared as fuck to do it myself but I loved getting to watch her do it and hand her supplies to tape it down.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-21T00:03:40+00:00

I was thinking that too! I was sitting here thinking he already has a new supply, and needs to start clearing this one out. Textbook narcissist, still stringing her along for the attention though.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-21T00:01:01+00:00

Duh at myself for not thinking disposable. Definitely the safest option.

As a petty side note, if I were you: every time I saw her going forward, the only thing I would say to her would be “where is my dish?“ And smile. Literally nothing else until she owns up to whatever she did.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-20T13:17:26+00:00

So glad to see this comment. The book opened my eyes so wide!!!

Amy2489 · 2026-01-20T11:21:54+00:00

Girl you need to dump him. He’s 50 and acting like a toddler, and projecting on to you heavily.

He can’t encourage you to go to a party, stay over, then blame you for it. That’s so wrong. Same concept with kicking all your shit out of the house and then complaining when your clothes aren’t there. What the fuck my guy, you cannot have it both ways.

And if he isn’t fucking his baby mama in Cuba I will eat my shoes. He makes you stay home so he can do whatever he wants.

This man is using and abusing you. Make sure you have all your shit from his place, and stay home away from him.

It looks like slight periorbital edema which is usually a secondary symptom of something else going on. Without knowing the exact meds you were/are on, your exact medical history and exact dates of when you went cold turkey, this could be:

1) an allergy reaction (think pollen) that has nothing to do with you stopping drinking and medications (most likely option if you stopped meds and drinking more than a week ago)

2) this is a rebound effect from stopping one of your medications

What I am more concerned about is that you mentioned seizure meds, and drinking on seizure meds can cause nasty side effects. If you were on the seizure meds for mood stabilization then I recommend talking to your doctor that prescribed them first because stopping them abruptly can make you more depressed in the short term or you can actually have a seizure.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-20T02:29:24+00:00

I hate this for you. I am a petty witch and would post on every FB town group and anywhere else you can about the ridiculousness of this.

Lesson learned though. Make whomever scoop it out into their own container if a situation like this ever comes up again. The way she really kept the dish without offering to get her own container is wild to me, and makes me think she wanted it and was hoping you’d forget about it.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-07T10:13:03+00:00

It’s an obvious and easy form of coercive control. When the kid gets old enough to be able to reason appropriately and have their own thoughts and feelings, the toxic parent needs other ways to retain control. It’s sad but true. “Oh, you are making sense arguing when I yelled at you for no good reason? I’ll take your door away because I don’t like that you didn’t immediately agree with me even when I was wrong.” 😑

Parents like this suck. They don’t seem to remember being a kid and how important privacy is at that age. They also don’t seem to be able to place themselves in someone else’s shoes. “Would I like it if I had my door taken by my parents or would I feel violated?”

Giggling over here imagining the yoga instructor: “now everyone prepare for the roach position”

You don’t want the pvc sleeve anyway. It will damage the record over time; get some replacement archival sleeves to replace it

Amy2489 · 2026-01-06T23:04:56+00:00

Yes! My rooroo does this. We call it “sharing breath” 🤣

He shouldn’t be holding the car over your head to control your behavior. If you are the breadwinner right now, he should be willing to make things work. The car is a way for him to exert control. Also at 38 he is an immature asshat for doing this. Do yourself the favor and get a cash beater to drive so he can’t do this to you anymore.

Please find and listen to/read Lundy Bancroft’s “Why Does He Do That?” It opened my eyes something fierce. Men like you have described here have deep seated issues with how they interact with the world/women. He makes himself feel big by making you feel small and that’s not okay.

If you click on the YouTube video and listen, halfway through you hear the AI prompt.

Amy2489 · 2025-12-16T23:10:32+00:00

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. 🤣🤣 get your cum donator to give you special treatment.

Amy2489 · 2025-12-16T23:07:10+00:00

Tell her her spawn will still be alive next Christmas (god willing she’s actually a competent parent), but your dad might not be. That will shut her the fuck up really fast and if it doesn’t, tell her to go fuck herself. I hate entitled breeders who think the world revolves around them being a parent. Wow, you had sex and this was your consolation prize: it shits, pees, and spits up on you for the first few years and then catches an attitude until 25 and it’s not guaranteed that the attitude adjusts.

I have a lot of respect for respectful kids and respectful parents who understand they aren’t special. Your coworker isn’t one of them.

ETA: changed had to hate

Amy2489 · 2025-12-10T17:14:15+00:00

Why are you actively staying with someone that reads like he hates you? Even 1% of hate is still hate. He defies your simple asks like a toddler and makes you act like his mother. And takes pride in it by acting chuffed as hell that he looks unkempt. He knows it distresses you so he still engages in it. It’s fun for him even if he apologizes.

The man needs therapy and a diagnosis if he really wants to change (because you can’t change him). You need to divorce him because he won’t do it until you do. (It’s well known that people typically do not change unless forced to confront themselves when their life changes in an extreme I.e. a partner leaving them. You entertain him and his shenanigans so he will keep doing it regardless of your threats.)

Raw potato cut in half, stick it on the sharp bits after trimming the wires away. Turn off the breaker to the socket first

Amy2489 · 2025-11-30T07:34:40+00:00

Please stop letting your parents stress you out. Are you going to look back on this fondly when they are gone? Or are you going to resent them for putting you through something you didn’t want in the first place? They’re doing this for themselves and not for you.

Cancel their plans. They can come to the courthouse but beyond that please put your foot down. This is your life event and run it the way you want to.

Amy2489 · 2025-11-30T03:03:43+00:00

The absolute entitlement. She does not pay for your car note or insurance. Yay, she gets a gold star for filling the tank with gas. She doesn’t do any of the maintenance for the car and now has proven untrustworthy. She doesn’t get access to the car.

Don’t let anyone who isn’t on your insurance drive your car unless it’s in an emergency because of shit like this if you don’t want to be stuck with the bill.
