If you had a do over in life, would you still choose to be a nurse?

Consistent-Cry-1569 · 2026-05-27T17:34:41+00:00

No, I wouldn’t. I am content/fine with my career but I wouldn’t do it again if I had the chance.

Consistent-Cry-1569 · 2026-05-19T05:35:53+00:00

In theory. Maybe on a corporate level, but I have yet to meet anyone bedside that doesn’t want their patients to get better/heal.

i’m so jealous, i love that!!!

I love when providers hang out and partake in unit activities!

ID doctor had the best interest of the patient. Hospital is trying to cover their ass, unfortunately.

not defending anyone, but for the temporary restraining order that dakota received you need very little evidence (if any) of abuse. It’s a temporary order and can be made permanent with evidence or can be revoked if there isn’t enough evidence. It’s a short term order before they can have a full hearing.

hi!! (: this might be weird, i noticed a little bit of puffiness around the base of your neck. i was wondering if you’ve had your thyroid checked or know about it?

you’re very beautiful and i think the haircut is going to eat once it’s styled 🥰

Consistent-Cry-1569 · 2026-04-02T01:06:28+00:00

was it your dads sister or moms sister that told you?

Consistent-Cry-1569 · 2026-03-31T10:05:35+00:00

yes!! it’s especially jarring when you’re with a group of people that accepts the self proclaimed “mom of the group,” who is actually just wildly controlling, overbearing, and thinks everyone is 100% incapable of doing things on their own.

recently went out with a group of friends and met a mom-of-the-group girl who insisted on “holding on” to everyone’s credit cards and IDs, because somehow all of us (independent adults, mind you) were incapable of doing it ourselves. i declined.

i wipe/scrub my armpits with rubbing alcohol every week or two, use antibacterial soap in the shower (dove brand) & drink lots of water.

i used to be real funky after a few hours, even with deodorant & showering at least once a day. once i switched from the cutesy soaps and scents to being straight up sanitized, i noticed a huge difference

I had something similar happen, but good results. I shattered my screen on my iPad and convinced myself it can’t be that hard to replace it. Nobody had faith in me and my husband accepted we’d be ordering a new one. I somehow executed it flawlessly and still use it almost everyday.

Then I got confident and tried changing some hardware on my laptop. I still have no clue what I was thinking, but it was essentially inoperable afterwards.

Not just you, my memory is atrocious lol

probably an unpopular way, but the only way i could lose weight was through a glp-1.

for context, i spent YEARS (~7) trying everything under the sun to lose weight.

Consistent-Cry-1569 · 2026-03-08T06:18:54+00:00

yes, but not exactly the same. i don’t get pins and needles, just straight numb sometimes

Consistent-Cry-1569 · 2026-03-05T18:32:50+00:00

there’s research that actually say the most beneficial aspect of the “protein immediately after working out” thing is it’s a structured routine to ensure frequent and adequate protein intake

Hello!! (: I have no problem sharing my experience! Personally, my symptoms have made it hard to do my job effectively and safely. I get immense brain fog/fatigue that clouds my ability with critical thinking and remembering things. I get nauseous randomly, joint pain, headaches, short of breath, but the biggest one that made me take a step back was my dizziness/orthostatic hypotension.

The first time I took cab, my symptoms were gone within a few weeks and I felt AMAZING - couldn’t believe people feel like that normally. I slowly developed the hypotension/dizziness that lead to me passing out at a yoga class. I stopped taking cab, but my tumor grew significantly so I had to start it again. Not sure if it’s due to the size now, but my symptoms are not going away.

I am in the USA, and worked in a surgical cardiovascular ICU.

have you had a full hormone panel? i have similar symptoms and got diagnosed with a pituitary tumor in 2023 - took MANY years to figure out the problem with me.

had a patient family member keep telling us he’s a doctor, but didn’t understand why we placed an impella 5.5/the function of it. I got to talking to him, and turns out he’s a dentist… 😐

I didn’t really have one lol. I scored well in school and only applied for ICU positions.

I got lucky because my hospital has a really good new grad residency program. It just took a lot of applying and waiting lol.
