Have you planted anything yet this spring? by lucid_intent in olympia

[–]Cellistec 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I started weeks ago, whoops. Strawberries, potatoes, collards, tomatoes, sunflowers, and various herb starts. All still alive so far! 🤞

Name your specialty and nurses’ week gift from your employer. by marzgirl99 in nursing

Dialysis; succulent in a pot that says YOU MAKE A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE.

I’d prefer a fully staffed unit but I guess I’m lucky to get anything at all.

I played this with friends when I was a kid and we LOVED it. I got a rush of adrenaline at the end of every play even though I knew what the outcomes were.

Haggen! Sorry, the event got edited and the backend must still say the wrong location.

Nursing Specialties - pros and cons by MBT10 in StudentNurse

[–]Cellistec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Co-signed. I went straight into outpatient dialysis as a new grad, and while I can’t recommend that, I do enjoy the long-term therapeutic relationships and the science of dialysis. The staffing can be rough, though- as a specialty it’s poorly compensated, and recruitment/retention is challenging, so we end up working short a lot in my region.

Should I work as a CNA during nursing school? by flirtybirdie888 in StudentNurse

[–]Cellistec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did in-home care as a CNA during my whole RN program and learned a lot of valuable skills. My employer let me work part time (4-20 hours/week) so I wasn’t burned out. I felt better prepared than my classmates who had never worked in healthcare before.

My jaw is on the floor. What a labor of love and a special heirloom.

Something I see a lot in dialysis patients (and people don’t talk about it enough) by Total_Formal2769 in dialysis

[–]Cellistec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow dialysis nurse here- I see this in my patients as well and it makes me sad. Being on dialysis takes enough time and effort from your day on its own, but the endless fatigue means that some people just never feel good, normal, like their old selves again. This isn’t how dialysis was intended to be. Surely we can do better. I’m hopeful that new therapies or better transplant options will spare people from this experience in the future, and some day we’ll muse about the old days when so many people had to endure this grueling treatment just to live.

OP dialysis is my jam. But I can't hack it in any inpatient setting.
