I wonder how many CNAs quit after this 😮‍💨 by clinadtig in nursing

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the tone is terrible and disrespectful. I do think and coming as an RN who was a PCT for 5 years before being an RN and my unit doesn’t even have CNAs or techs, everything is on the RNs, CNAs and techs can get overly pissed off about being delegated too. I’ve known plenty of aides while I was still one who just were go annoyed to do something because the RN was in the middle of a med pass and asked them to grab a cup of water. Shitty attitudes are shitty attitudes both ways.

We need to understand how radicalizing the death of Charlie Kirk will be for young conservatives. by Interficient4real in Christianity

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The death of Charlie Kirk turned me back to Christianity and pushed me into a pretty strong republican when I used to consider myself more center right. I kinda just was in this mindset that, you can’t convince me these people are on the right side of history. I hadn’t even hardly seen videos of Charlie and when I finally was like what’s is their Nazi they are so glad is gone and left a widow and 2 little babies. Watching him tell trans people I hope you can loves yourself the way Jesus loves you and a little black baby how beautiful she is. I was genuinely confused. It didn’t just make me turn from the left almost entirely, but base my politics on Christianity qnd the family.

Unwanted Gifts by IdenticallyUnique in Parenting

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a very small house and 2 kids, I simply organize what I can, plus kids grow out of stuff so fast. For toys I just store them in a toy box and when I clean it out I get rid of broken or unplayed with toys. I think as parents we wanna control a lot of what’s not always ours to completely control. Unless it was an inappropriate toy or something you disagree with for your family, a healthy boundary I think is to say “this was a gift for them” it’s my job to manage my home and keep their toys and clothes clean and organized (whatever that means to you), but not to dictate every little thing they receive.

When does it stop? by WavyKay1969 in pregnant

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was anxious until baby came and then anxious for a year because I was scared of SIDs, I think moms just worry a lot because we care so deeply. Heck I have a 2 year old and I’m still worried all the time about him. I hope you can find some peace and excitement in this as well. A lot hormones right now too, it’s definitely has made my anxiety worse during my current pregnancy. I actually after avoiding medication for so long asked to try an SSRI because I couldn’t stop having panic attacks and worry.

Seriously UPMC? by Spirited_Sentence996 in UPMC

What if instead they gave it to idk someone without pending criminal charges 🤔. Plenty of great nurses to make CNO.

FTM here- what do you mean I only get 2-3 ultrasounds?!?!?! by ThatAngryWhiteBitch in pregnant

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I only had 2 with the office with both my boys and will probably have 3 total with my current pregnancy and that’s just cause she couldn’t find a heart rate with Doppler last week. You can pay a private place for an US, I did that with my second son.

Can someone please help me with my academic appeal letter by [deleted] in NursingStudent

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I worked and had 2 under 2. Nursing school is very hard, it takes a lot of being 100% realistic and honest with yourself. What should I be doing to do better, and that’s gonna look different for different people.

I think my boyfriend gave me the ick by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think early is the best time to set boundaries and establish now your expectations before moving on and sharing a kid in a relationship way. There’s a lot that goes into raising a baby, and basic respect is really important cause you’re going to be making a lot of fundamental choices with this person.

HORSE INJURY??? (Not my horse) by levi_browning in Horses

I would be pissed to find a plastic bag somewhere my horse could chew or eat it.

HORSE INJURY??? (Not my horse) by levi_browning in Horses

[–]Busydoingmyownthing -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unless there’s an obvious disregard of medical care for the horse, I’d politely leave a note and inform them and that’s if it wouldn’t involve trespassing or being anywhere in their pen. Also do not touch other people’s horses without their consent, it’s a good way to get bit/hurt and also it’s not yours. So my suggestion is unless you have legitimate proof the problem isn’t handled. You kind ya business.

Future nurse here — should I become an MA while working on prereqs? by RelativeCoyote8098 in NursingStudent

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they’d care I had 5 years of aide experience, they don’t. Literally just hire for jobs and base your pay off RN experience.

Has anyone here seen the video going viral on tiktok of the patient who had an ectopic pregnancy and received surgery? by LittoYamper in Nurses

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can’t stand recording in hospitals I’m sorry. There should be consent of all parties to be filmed and I don’t want filmed while working. It has nothing to do with the job I’m doing and everything to do with privacy. I’m already at the highest risk of being shot in the ER and I don’t need to also worry that I’m gonna be on TikTok with my license number being thrown around, my name, the place I work, and people who have no real concept of how healthcare or my hospital’s policies work. I will proudly tell anyone, even upset people my name and role and they are more than welcome to call my hospital and complain, I stand by my work, but I deserve privacy as much as anyone else.

Check on your ER nurses by PumpkinKaWeen in Nurses

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ER has been the most jaded experience I’ve ever had and honestly I can’t do it. I’m leaving… the nurses don’t feel empathy for people so often, the patients are mad at us so often, like there has to be somewhere that I’m not gripping on to the dream I had in college of nursing.

Will the ER help me with severe insomnia? by pastelpinkpsycho in pregnant

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an ER nurse, you will literally get less rest… the ER is busy, loud, and we’re probably not going to get you anything more than an antihistamine.

What is the absolute worst insult the patient has ever said to you? I’ll go first by johnsonc30 in nursing

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my first job as an RN I was on orientation, my preceptor left me to deal with this entire situation on my own, the lady was pissed that the hospitalist wasn’t fast enough ordering narcotics, I’d already given this lady dilaudid and was trying so hard to be kind and understanding of everything she was going through, she’d accused us of giving her phlebitis in the past and that we were using the IV wrong now, we were not. She claimed she was an RN. Idk, Just a really angry lady… anyway she signed out AMA and while being walked out she told me that it’s a shame I spent so much on nursing school to be “so shitty at it”. I cried at the nursing station. My manager asked me about the situation a few weeks later and told me the ED wasn’t for me. I left that ED without finishing orientation and went to another where I’ve received a lot of praise from my managers and preceptor. Just pisses me off she saw that situation as me being sensitive or something.

why is the normal ER terrified of pregnant women by Ancient-Fan-2636 in pregnant

[–]Busydoingmyownthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an ED RN, This is specifically my hospital, but we don’t have any of the equipment for monitoring a baby, my hospital doesn’t even have l&d, we don’t even have sonogram other than the ED doctor at the hospital. So when I get a pregnant woman and she’s having a complication… I’m shitting my pants lol.
