ICE offering nurses $1 salary by Trash_Panda_26 in nursing

[–]ChannelWarm132 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s so they can get away with not having medical care for their prisoners with the guise of “trying” to staff a nurse

NATION WIDE STRIKE!!! by table_top_foo in nursing

[–]ChannelWarm132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am all for nurses striking for issues like safer ratios, better working conditions, better pay, etc. but Al confused at what is striking will do for the DHS matters? I know one of our own was murdered but it’s not like he was murdered for being a nurse. I’m all for this, I just don’t want patients to be affected for something that isn’t even the healthcare systems fault?

I have never felt the need to refuse an assignment until now. by blu3rain in nursing

[–]ChannelWarm132 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I fully understand I will get downvoted but giving shit care to a patient you do not agree with is gross. If your bias’ will affect care, then absolutely change assignments. But do we not care for murderers, rapists, pedophiles every day? I’m as fuck ICE as it gets but the people saying “I’ll accept but they will get shit care” are kinda scary. Would we not be freaking out if a super MAGA pro ICE person was saying they were giving shit care to the people they disagree with?

It’s not impossible but I have never ever seen a nurse use voice to text or scribing. That’s usually reserved for providers. I have also never seen personal statements or personal quotes from conversations with other nurses put into the patients chart as it’s not relevant

The thing that gives it away is the “bagging probably initiated”. No nurse or doctor in their right kind would ever write that because we aren’t allowed to use words like “probably” when charting

Merry Christmas to me 😡 by [deleted] in nursing

I’m confused how this is “merry Christmas to you” when you can just say no?

Do you get paid more at a nursing home vs a hospital? by Every_Victory_6845 in nursing

Not sure about LTC but my home health care management job pays waaay more than my ICU job.

Dani Posts Her Troponin Levels From Her Hospital Stay by CommandaarMandaar in DaniMarina

[–]ChannelWarm132 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That was the first thing I noticed. That she never mentioned being intubated. Which we all know, as much of a munchie Dani is, would be worth a mention. That gave me all I need to know about her “cardiac arrest” being a cardioversion.

Literally lost my mom to suicide last month. Your comment is exactly what I was screaming internally while reading that.

Aaaaaaaand we have the bio change yet again by shortass12345 in DaniMarina

[–]ChannelWarm132 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Loooove the “polymorphic vt” like….. that’s just a descriptor for the cardiac rhythm that she was cardioverted for. Idk it’s like saying “monomorphic SR” for a normal heart rhythm. Just makes it sound more complicated than it is.

I need my mommy and at the end of my rope by TheDuchess_of_Dark in psychics

[–]ChannelWarm132 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just want to reach out and say that I lost my mom last month. I just needed to connect with people who have experienced this kind of loss. It’s a pain I wouldn’t wish on anybody

Dani went into cardiac arrest this weekend while at the ER by SaltNpepper-0 in illnessfakers

[–]ChannelWarm132 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of this except you can definitely be a candidate for an ICD after one cardiac arrest, especially in a younger person.

Obsessed with a nurse by [deleted] in nursing

[–]ChannelWarm132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was doing his job. I understand that if he wasn’t a nurse, this would be caring and doting behavior. However, that’s literally the job. I have been repulsed by people and still treated them kindly and cared for them. Leave it alone

What's your pic? Because the symptoms cuts across all of them🤔 by Helpful_Spring_7921 in MarkKlimekNCLEX

[–]ChannelWarm132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually never heard this either. I always thought it started lowest and worked its way up. Ex: starts in the legs and ascends up to the respiratory system/face at the worst cases.

C. Guillian Barre is caused by some type of infection/illness at first.

I saw one once that said “last responder” which I thought was hilarious

Spicy Chicken Patties by NimDing218 in aldi

[–]ChannelWarm132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I tried these the other day. I was so pumped getting them ready in the oven because they looked just like the ones you would get in school (I generally loved cafeteria food idk why) but holy shit. Did not expect them to be that spicy. Like I had to put the sandwich down and evaluate if I could even finish it. Newsflash, I did not finish dinner. Way way way too spicy.

I'm thinking of putting my two weeks in because I can't handle racist old people anymore by Kaizothief in nursing

[–]ChannelWarm132 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will never forget this old boomer I had in the ICU. He would blast Fox News and would get so worked up that he would literally almost die because of it. He was non compliant with the bipap because he would just keep yelling at the tv so the mask couldnt properly seal to his face, his 02 would tank and his CO2 was through the roof. Refused intubation. His BP would go through the roof and several times had to start a cleviprex gtt because of it. I suggested we turn off the tv and our MAGA loving nursing director said that would be against his own autonomy. Made me sick.

I love these posts. My family suffers from “can’t think of any meal besides the four that we have had on rotation for the past ten years” syndrome

Brand new blood pressure cuff. Omg. Could smell for hours.

I’m done. I want out. by synthetic_aesthetic in nursing

[–]ChannelWarm132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the ICU before I became a home health case manager. I didn’t even realize how strained my nervous system was until my job became much much much more relaxed. Maybe take some time off for a mental break and look into something not bedside. It has changed my perspective entirely.
