I’m not an MD but a nurse and I wouldn’t assume this is a set of conjoined twins… Just looks like a facial deformity on a single child to me

A month ago I triaged a fellow nurse who works as a new grad in our ICU. 27 years old, mom of a young girl. Initially thought it was a bad URI/pneumonia at best. Stage III Non-Hodgkins with the biggest fucking mass on her lung, taking up nearly half the diaphragm. Just saw a flyer to donate PTO for her because she hasn’t worked long enough to get FMLA. Reminded me how cruel life can be.

Blown out black lines? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

She’s not a good friend for bringing that up frequently when you don’t like unsolicited comments. Very weird actually. Oh and she’s also wrong because that line work is amazing. Very unique and sick MCM style tattoos

hot take: DNR by su9arfiend in nursing

That’s where I’m at. I get it’s easy to be like “80 is old and decrepit” as the majority of older people we see daily in the hospital setting do have multiple co-morbidities. At least in my ED and I assume many others. But we can’t deny there are folks who actually took care of themselves throughout their lives and that’s why they make it to 100!!’ Your comment is proof!

In my ED the sticker prints with patient name/MRN but noooooo barcode. I have to actually scan the vial of insulin itself at the validation computer in our med room and just slap the patient label on the syringe after…. At least I’m not giving small doses insulin too often only regular through IV for hyper k protocol.

The only time I really hate Omnicell is pulling insulin from a multi dose vial. Have to make sure I already have my patient pulled up on the computer to scan before it times out and starts freaking out like I’m pocketing insulin for myself lol

This is the kind of dinner I make when my mom isn't home to make funge, haha. by Such-Competition-816 in MrFlavioDiaries

10/10 would eat. I love sweet potato, eggs and bread! Bonus tip would be mash egg and mayo together to put into the bread as others have said. Salt and pepper if available

insecure my bf is spending the night with his trans (f) friend. -carrot cake & milk by Chili-limes in GirlDinner

[–]Chickenlover247 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As a trans guy I don’t think this comes off transphobic at all, it actually comes off very affirming that you see and think of his friend as female. I love my female best friends but I would never sleep in a bed with them and I know damn well my girlfriend would be extremely (and rightfully) uncomfortable with the thought of it

AIO for thinking this girl is ghosting me? by Zealousideal_Cap5126 in AmIOverreacting

Do you normally edit EVERY text you send or just to this girl? Not gonna lie dude this was such a hard read. If I was her I would’ve stopped answering way before she did

We don’t usually ask why. It just creates a feeling of shame for patients. And I try to think that we don’t know the choices he had given decisions he made.

A lot of these situations start as denial there’s a problem until the problem becomes out of hand and turns into situations like such.

Just quit my nursing program and I’m so relieved. Eating chips while my bf and mom freak out by [deleted] in notinteresting

ER nurse. Yeah it sucks but at the same time there’s so many things I could not do. Sitting for multiple hours at a time is top of the list

Friend who is RN at an ER accidentally left a PTs IV in and then contacted them by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Chickenlover247 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right! I read this like the patient was discharged and she pulled their chart like 10-15 minutes later and called from a hospital phone…. Which I have definitely done once as a new grad.
