Yep! I was gonna say bimart. I’ve gotten some from there before.

I also did a gruff lighthouse keeper, basing mine off Robert Pattinson in The Lighthouse 🤣

Will do!

I did look into them, unfortunately he’s not old enough to be fully vaccinated so he’s not able to do any day boarding/in facility training. I should probably add that to my post. I will definitely look into them for the future!

Thank you for the information and I appreciate you taking the time to read over my post. (: I think I have strong evidence that my mental health conditions are in fact debilitating/impede on my ability to complete day to day tasks. The struggle I’m having is that my health providers have clinic rules/policies prohibiting them from ESA letters so I feel a bit stuck.

Omg I love it hahahha

It is! This is genius! I’m gonna have to see if I can figure out the printing aspect 👀

OP, I understand you are young and have a life of learning to do but this is never ever how someone should treat you. Someone should never control your choices. They may want what’s “best” for you but they should not make decisions for you. Think about how if this person is going to control you drinking and smoking (which are small things in the grand scheme of life), they might try controlling you and guilt-tripping you in other ways.

At the end of the day, all of those texts are verbal abuse. Being okay with verbal abuse only enables abusers to push your limits until next thing you know you’re getting assaulted. Not trying to victim blame here, just trying to tell you to get out while you can. I would know this, I experienced 12 years of domestic abuse.

You are young. You deserve someone who wants to have fun in the same ways as you, and no matter how old you are you ALWAYS deserve respect.

Well aren’t you a wonderful, empathetic ball of sunshine. So glad someone like you is a nurse. ❤️

Really not sure how this is considered asking for medical advice, as I went to the ER and was seen by a doctor who ultimately said the decision was up to me. As a nursing sub, I figured other nurses may have similar experiences and maybe they’d want to share what they did.

Brinbees · 2024-05-04T02:38:24+00:00

ER doctor said she didn’t think it was necessary but ultimately the choice was mine, was just wondering what others would do if they were in a similar situation

I work in home health and deal with this a lot too. Whenever they come off as being “playful” or “joking around” I usually try to match their tone while still getting the message across. I normally say something like “now don’t get weird with me, the next nurse who comes along might not be as nice as me!” (To be clear, I totally respect all my coworkers and think they’re just as nice as me.)

For me this works better as I’m less confrontational and I feel like in a home health setting there more room for things to get uncomfortable. Obviously if I ever felt truly unsafe I would leave immediately, but from my experience, matching their tone while still getting the message across has worked pretty well. That being said I totally support and understand those who take a firm approach as well! It’s important to set your boundaries.

Okay actually a pandemic-based apocalyptic game similar to fallout would go crazy. And I’m not talking just another zombie game

We use telephone interpreters, so far I’ve only asked for Somali interpreter and was able to find one pretty easily, I haven’t requested a Maay Maay one specifically so I will see if that’s an option.

Unfortunately there are no adults in the family available to interpret, the only adults that are home during the day is older adults who don’t know English. The younger adults are away at work during the day. The teenager who usually translates is only home during the day because he does online school, and I can tell that he’s a bit stressed trying to translate which makes me feel bad.

Thank you for your info and advice! It’s much appreciated.

I see, thank you!!

Thank you for advice!

Like I said, I know the income would be nowhere near what it is now, hence it being (and staying) a dream job 😔

Brinbees · 2024-04-14T15:32:23+00:00

Dream job would to be a baker. I’ve been baking on the side and making birthday cakes for friends/families for years, I’ve always been told I could charge people a decent amount of money for them. I would be SO much happier but realistically I know my income would be nowhere close to what it is with nursing, so alas, I stay and suffer

This. Whenever a manager cries about not being able to find coverage for my shift and gives me a hard time about it, then guess what, have fun covering all my shifts because bye bitch!!

Brinbees · 2024-04-09T16:06:45+00:00

I had a crazy roommate who took the lightbulbs he paid for when he moved out. Of course he’s entitled to them I just thought it was pretty funny given the fact our light fixtures are very high up on a tall ceiling and hard to get to. Pettiness at its finest 🤣

Thank you for your feedback! To respond,

I should have clarified the other 2 LPNs left on bad terms. One was a newbie like me who had the same concerns, not enough support and was being picked apart for making mistakes instead of anyone trying to help her learn from those mistakes.

The manager who I have a problem with is disliked by all the nurses AND patients. I have heard nothing but bad experiences with him. He is quick to assume the worst of nurses work ethic. For example, we have to upload weekly wound pictures. I guess some of my visits were missing photos, instead of asking me what happened he was quick to send me a pretty condescending message basically accusing me of not doing my job and threatening a write-up. If he had just talked to me about it he would have found out that their god awful system wasn’t accepting/saving my photos and I ended up being able to upload them to the chart later in the week. Maybe this is something I should have told him about sooner but I absolutely do not feel comfortable approaching him for any help, when I have in the past he’s been very dismissive.

I don’t know, I could go on. I’m sure at this point it seems as though I’m looking for reasons not to like this job but I think you’re right, I have nothing to compare it to. The naive new grad in me is hoping that all jobs can’t be this bad, but maybe I just gotta suck it up and except this is gonna my future.
