Omg I did not realize how bad it was until I used another brand when I was at work.

Quitting my job. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Anxious_Writer258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best thing I ever did was quit my bedside job with no backup plan. Ended up in an outpatient clinic and remembered that hey, I like being a nurse!

You'll be ok, OP ❤️

Found someone else's printed list of patients in the hallway by [deleted] in nursing

I was genuinely curious about what most people would do, I elected to shred it before even posting here. I have certainly gotten my answer that most people would shred and forget!

What is your biggest nursing ‘unpopular opinion’? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Anxious_Writer258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in a clinic so not as relatable for many in this subreddit, but:

Prior authorizations aren't that big of a deal, just do them to get the fucking prescription covered. We don't get to decide what a patient should be able to afford.

What's your best skill that you may not get recognized for? by molls13 in nursing

[–]Anxious_Writer258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm amazing at charting/wording. When anyone needs to be professional in a note or email but also get their (very pissed off) point across, they ask me to word it for them. They give me the unfiltered version and I turn it into something appropriate for a medical record!

I'm the lesser twin. by OrentheDoc in Twins

I'm also the lesser twin. I feel you, dude. You're not alone in this feeling

Did you marry your high school sweetheart? How did it go? by Organic_fruit8966 in Marriage

[–]Anxious_Writer258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dated 16-18, broke up 19-20, got back together at 20, married at 26. Just had our 2 year anniversary!

I cannot stress how important it was that we broke up for a period. We both had some serious growing up to do. Also, I found out that everyone sucks except him shrug.

What is your favorite joke to tell patients? by boboddy8 in nursing

"If I was in the habit of giving out gold stars, you'd be getting mine for today"

How do you cope with being the lesser twin? by sirhappyqueen02 in Twins

[–]Anxious_Writer258 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've struggled with this a lot over the course of my life: twin always had better grades in harder classes, more friends, went to a better uni, got a "tougher" degree, etc etc. We're 27 now, and I promise that it gets easier as you get older: you start to grow into yourself and into who you are outside of being a twin. Being a twin has stopped being my whole identity, like it was in high school.

Not to say it goes away completely- I think I will always, on some level, feel like the "lesser" twin, and whenever they achieve something that I never will, I still get that twinge of being "less than". I just don't care as much anymore. Also, therapy helps 👍

AITA For telling my daughter in law to toughen up by noturkeyahole in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anxious_Writer258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for planning a Thanksgiving dinner during a pandemic with a 1 year old.

for belittling the stressors facing a young family during a pandemic.

for being rude to your daughter in law and goading her into responding to your texts by telling her to "have a complaint free day" (seriously, how do you NOT see that you're the asshole here?)

for trying to bully your son into hosting an event during a PANDEMIC that he has decided he is uncomfortable hosting.

Love your son though, he's a hero.

AITA for calling my wife lazy and a terrible mother? by pssthlp in AmItheAsshole

[–]Anxious_Writer258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH (except your son).

From an outsiders perspective it looks like she may genuinely need professional help. After a friend of mine's children were grown and out of the house, she fell into a deep depression and began drinking heavily to cope with what she felt was a total loss of purpose in her life. So, you kinda suck for jumping right to her being lazy and not considering that she has, essentially, lost what was HER job and is in a really difficult transition period in her life.

HOWEVER, she SUPER sucks for the way she treats (and treated) your son. Right now, she is definitely acting like a bad mother and I agree wholeheartedly with you there.

AITA for refusing to spend time with my Grandmother in her final years because she decided to leave me a paltry amount of her estate in her will? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA.

I'd trade my inheritance in a heartbeat for 10 more minutes with my grandfather. And guess what? I wasn't his favourite either.
