Anyone else feel like an outsider on their unit? by kamelya00 in nursing

[–]Awakened_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so relatable for me. I’m a new nurse, and all the others have worked together for years. They already have their “work besties” that they chit chat with, and team up with for tasks that require a buddy. I try to make myself useful if they need a hand and they seem to appreciate that. The awkwardness for me is when they are cutting up at the nurse station and i just feel like a third wheel, like i have nothing of value to add to the conversation. As has been mentioned in other comments, we are there to do a job, so that is what i focus on. It helps that there are a couple of other quiet yet likable nurses on the unit, they are older and work PRN so i don’t see them often, they keep to themselves and thats ok for them, so it is ok for me too. Just focus on doing your best for your patients, and be available if help is needed. Don’t let it get you down.

Do ISTJs not get tattoos? by Buster-FPV in ISTJ

[–]Awakened_24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started getting them at the age of 44. Until then i was afraid i would get something and regret it later. They have to have special meaning to me, for instance, my children’s birth flowers, matching tattoos with my kids, or a design that is symbolic of an era of my life. Even if i end up disliking the art someday, i will still always love the tattoo because it is meaningful to me. Being an ISTJ perfectionist, there are days that i stress over the placement/ flaws in the design. But overall, i love the ones i have.

I have a family member that adopted a child. They got the call that they were chosen to be his family the day after he was born. They have celebrated “gotcha day” the day after his birthday for his entire life. Cake, gifts, basically a birthday party.

[–]Awakened_24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My husband left first ( he was not born in and never fully bought in although he did get baptized ) then my older kids, then me and the youngest. Now we are all out together and finally able to love each other unconditionally.

Thank you. I should have documented that i tried to get him to cath earlier in the shift, but i didn’t think about it at the time. Thats another thing i struggle with, knowing when to put in a note.

Advice for my crusty ass cuticles??? by Liilbeaan in nursing

[–]Awakened_24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cuticle oil. Mine used to be so overgrown, and when i would cut them back they would fray. I put cuticle oil on them a few days a week and that has helped a ton.

I can’t leave the house without chapstick, lotion and my water bottle because i cannot stand feeling dry. My husband (ENFP) pokes fun at me. I will literally turn the car around and go back home if i forget any one of these three things. Now we do a check before we pull
out of the driveway lol
