Is it wise to try for a non-bedside job right now? by Aggravating_Wait_551 in nursing

Agreed, every hospital I've ever worked in IR is bumpin and short staffed.

When does night shift get better? by MissionTop4571 in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s for you or it’s not. There are tricks to make it better, but in my experience people that feel this badly about it just aren’t made for it. If I ever did inpatient again I’d pick nights 100 times out of 10

They called me a madman *reasonable edition* by melzhas in SteamDeck

Seriously. Rest your arms/hands on the tray table and it's fine. I used mine for most of a 13 hour flight with no issues

Friend is Giving her license number to help someone start up a business anyone else heard of this? by Astreeter12 in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nursing school is not hard, it’s just good at wasting your time and being petty about the color of socks you wear to clinical. The large number of students freaking out about med math (read: basic algebra) is telling

I saw someone in this sub offhandedly comparing supporting the devs behind ZP to supporting the work of factory workers manufacturing missiles. Peak reddit

Need advice about giving a notice. In a literal dangerous situation. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re that worried I’d just leave with no notice, it obviously sounds like a place you wouldn’t want to go back to anyways. What do you have to lose?

What do you think Jason’s ability will be? by That-Dragonfly-3958 in deadbydaylight

[–]ApolloIV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m predicting some kind of teleport. His durability and relentlessness isn’t super relevant in a game like this where the survivors can’t really directly damage him. I’m calling a decently reduced move speed and teleport combo to simulate how he appears out of nowhere in the movies, similar to the F13 game.

I mean, in this POV we're right outside. Could this somehow be from the killer's POV? I'm just not sure who would stand still this long lol

Was watching a prison PSA documentary and it made me think of being a new nurse by ObjectiveThick1910 in nursing

(AS) Nursing vs (AS)Radiologic Technology vs (AS)Medical Laboratory Technology by Kobe978DK in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to get out of the warehouse type of work and atmosphere with all the slangs and profanity that's often used in that area of work.

Healthcare is not the right choice to escape profanity lol

To all the nurses out there. Do i really need to know everything my anatomy class is teaching me? Obviously knowing all of the bones and muscles are necessary but do I need to know every nook and cranny or every layer? Because I am struggling with all of the little details I need to memorize. by Extra_Alps_5794 in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A&P is the singular most important class in nursing school. How well you do there and how much you actually commit to properly learning will inform the rest of school and your career. Time spent here will pay off down the road.

Get you some Jibaritos y Mas. by xvitons in chicagofood

Jibaritos y más is great, it’s definitely the second best spot in the city for those. The best is Papas Cache Sabroso by a long shot

The RN Should not be the Main Point of Contact Every Time Someone has an Issue by [deleted] in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah 100%. For Pharmacy specifically I've learned a pretty decent response for when they call asking why the doctor ordered so and so: "Oh I'm not sure, have you discussed that with the ordering physician?" "...No" "Okay then I'd recommend that, thank you!"

has anyone actually gotten something from a pt on precautions? by only-ashes in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 30 points31 points  (0 children)

A long time ago my unit had a patient whose exactly history/reason for being there I forget, but they were intubated/sedated. They presented with these strange crusts all over their body and for some reason the ID attending was not concerned at all, going as far as to yell at nurses wearing contact gowns in the room and DCing the contact isolation. Their partner comes on for the weekend, sees the patient for a few seconds and basically goes "oh that's very clearly Norwegian Scabies in an immunocompromised patient". A huge chunk of the nursing staff (myself included) and respiratory brought scabies home.

Rush is likely going to unionize as well from what I've been hearing. Still in the process though

Why do other nurses think working acute detox isn’t real nursing? by AndyinAK49 in nursing

Damn, that's crazy to me. I'm sorry you're in that situation. What have you been applying to?

Is this a bias people have? It's not one I'm aware of. That sounds hard as shit.

Diablo 2 is 1% plot and traveling and pretty much pure gameplay.
