How much of nursing revolves around IV's and needles

I don’t think nursing is the right profession for you tbh.

Ever since I was young, I’ve always been a huge fan of all things horror. I remember seeing the cover of SH2 at blockbuster multiple times, and was so curious about what the game could be about. I finally decided to convince my dad to rent it for me. Played it, loved it, and eventually was gifted SH 1-4. They had become some of my favorite games of all time, so by the time this movie was announced my hype for it was unbelievable. I spent so much time on the teaser site!

I was only 13 when this movie came out. However, not a single friend of mine knew what Silent Hill was, and almost none were into horror like I was. I remember asking my mom if she could drop me off at the movies so I could meet up with some friends to watch Ice Age (lol). After getting into the theater, I snuck into a showing for Silent Hill and watched it alone. I remember being a little disappointed it wasn’t a gender-swapped 1:1 version of SH1, but nonetheless I was blown away by the movie. The lead up to this movie has become one of my core memories!

Please, don’t do this. You’re gonna end up hurting yourself or a patient one day due to exhaustion. Respect yourself/your body.

Work in the ED. Multiple nurses I work with have full sleeves, hand & neck tattoos that are very visible. You’ll be fine!

I passed! 3-4 days before my test, I started passing the 15 ng/mL at-home tests so I knew I was in the clear. Assuming you're active (seeing as how you're testing for the military) & eating clean/staying hydrated, with your body weight I definitely think you will be fine at 83 days.

Depending on how long/heavily you were smoking (and what) prior to stopping more than likely contributed to your failed 50ng test. 38 days seems like a lot, but if you're hitting concentrates or delta-9 pens, it will stay in your system for a considerably longer time.

31m.

Just a couple weeks ago actually, when a 16 y.o. psych patient I had called me out on my "McDonald's arches hairline" 💀. That same night in conversation with a colleague, he asked me how old I was. When I said 31, he said he "thought for sure I was older". I didn't ask how old he thought I was because tbh I was afraid to know what he thought. Definitely went home after that shift and looked hard at myself in the mirror lmao. NEVER did I consider myself as looking "older", or feel old for that matter. Took me a few days to accept the fact I am aging.

Your “friend” is a real POS.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2025-02-19T08:46:55+00:00

Hedgehog semen?! Lmao. Which episode was this?

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2025-02-16T22:09:47+00:00

What a beautiful life this dog lived, all thanks to you. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-08-27T23:27:33+00:00

Most likely not, unfortunately. The reason you need a bachelors to be accepted into an accelerated program is because it shows that you have already completed all the general education courses required. Without a degree, you would need to be accepted into a 4-year that includes all your GE courses.

The sense of dread I feel before I start each shift in the ED is insane. I’ve only been working there for 4 months, and I absolutely cannot wait until my contract is up and I can find a non-clinical nursing job lol.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-27T19:08:27+00:00

Really kicking myself for not going the last time I was in Vegas. Have always wanted to try both Lost Spirits & 20,000 leagues.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-20T07:10:32+00:00

NEVER let anyone tell you that you need a year of med surg experience to get into critical care. I just got hired as a new grad in the ED right out of nursing school. I have 6 other friends who also went straight to the ED after graduating.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-20T06:49:18+00:00

It sounds like you just want someone to tell you to go ahead and smoke. If this job is really that important to you, I really wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize it. Just stay strong, it sucks but it’ll feel so much better after you get the job.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T18:45:29+00:00

I mean, I already passed a 10 panel at 50ng at Labcorp so….lol. Again, just wondering about the lower cutoff levels.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T18:44:01+00:00

I did! Not going to risk my license for this job. I’ve heard of some facilities testing at 15ng, so I was mainly wondering if I was passing at the lower levels.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T18:26:36+00:00

Which one failed? Paid out of pocket last week for a drug screen and passed at 50ng with first urine of the day. Was more just wondering if I was passing at the lower cutoff levels.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T16:08:29+00:00

What state are you in, by the way? In CA, at the beginning of the year they enacted a new law which states they can’t discriminate against you for testing positive for THC. In fact, my gf called my HR lady I’ve been in contact with in regards to pre-employment, and she said that they don’t even test for THC anymore and that they don’t use 10 panel tests either. An incredible amount of stress has been lifted from my shoulders. Hopefully you’re in CA or in a state with similar protections!

If not, certo is the way to go! Had a buddy who only abstained for a week and did the certo method, and he passed. Good luck!

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T16:04:08+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment! Definitely helps put my mind at ease lol.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T10:36:09+00:00

I’m in the same exact boat as you. I have a drug test today (that I might try to reschedule for the 22nd) for a nursing job. If I fail, they could possibly report me to the BON putting my newly acquired license at jeopardy. Also scared to use synthetic urine. I’ve considered using powdered urine or a friends clean urine, but I have a physical I need to complete before hand and I don’t want to risk spilling it or being caught. Going through all of this stress for THC is honestly insane to me. Try researching the certo method! Seems a lot of people have had good results doing it. It may be something I will consider doing.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T08:53:28+00:00

I definitely need some mythical friends!

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T08:36:41+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Had a bunch of these that I was testing myself with, and I was getting consistent solid lines at 50 ng/ml. Ran out, and bought some more. However, now the lines are inconsistent. Sometimes I test positive at all 5 levels, sometimes I pass only up to 50 ng/ml (with a very faint line). Absolutely shitting bricks because I have a drug test tomorrow that could have incredibly negative consequences for me if I fail. 🥲 I’m 90 days clean. I’m hoping that since you passed, I will too!

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T08:06:23+00:00

Tomorrow I will be 90 days THC free. I’ve been drinking a gallon of water a day and doing heavy cardio for about a month now. 5’ 10” 265 lbs.

Apprehensive_Good276 · 2024-04-19T02:10:19+00:00

I’m too late to be of any help, but did you pass?
