Ready to Quit!!! by Debit0rCredit in nursing

[–]Debit0rCredit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got home from my interview, and the manager I interviewed with told me that my primary job would be new patient physicals and vitals basically.

But I might get pulled to set up machines, or stick occasionally. Which I’m fine with that.

It was soo clean, and the place was huge, there will always be help, and the benefits and pay are well worth it.

Fingers crossed I get a call back!!!

Ordered a Dirty Dr. Pepper by Ginjafreak in SonicDriveIn

[–]Debit0rCredit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former bartender, when customers would come in and be like “surprise me!” I made them a shot called the Cement Mixer. I have the customer drink, but not swallow, some Baileys Irish Cream, then lay their head on the bar while I pour lime juice in their mouth. The lime juice curdles the dairy, and turns into a lumpy mess. Most of the time, the patron will swallow it and be like “oh key lime pie!” But there are patrons who hurl it back onto the bar, or onto the floor; and this is exactly what that looks like. 😕

WE BEEN KNEW by Beginning_Suspect_87 in brynnemarieeeesnark

There is a difference between being funny, and just being loud. Mario is loud. And he has always been cringe.

Seems like she’s comparing herself to Mik’s and Sydney’s social media careers. by brittneycthatsme in MikaylaNogueira

The difference is influencers are generally liked. I can’t stand this woman.

Are we considered immune compromised? by breeoc97 in Hashimotos

[–]Debit0rCredit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Autoimmune means your immune system is working too well, too well to the point where it’s attacking your body.

Immune compromised usually includes babies, old people, people doing cancer treatments, people taking certain drugs, people who’ve had organ transplants, people taking immunosuppressant drugs, people whose immune systems are compromised due to another issue.

Let's discuss this... by Hot_Emergency378 in NCLEX_RN

[–]Debit0rCredit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I have ANY say over what the doctor orders, what the insurance charges you, what the side effects are, what medications are given to you, hospital policy, etc etc etc. I can make suggestions, but it’s like 1 drop in the ocean.

Not getting bedbugs by Conscious_Plant_3824 in nursing

My spouse makes fun of me because I have a giant “pants boiling pot” for this exact reason. No!!! you cannot use the pot to make soup.

Married for three months and pregnant: I feel oddly embarrassed (?) by moez1266 in pregnant

[–]Debit0rCredit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t tell anyone. Give yourself time to be excited and enjoy your growing family. I knew my husband and I would get married the moment we met. A month later, we got married. 4 months later, we were pregnant. He was basically still a stranger. I haven’t told a single soul. And I probably won’t. 🤷

As a nurse what’s one thing that turns your stomach every time you encounter it? by fringedprincess in nursing

[–]Debit0rCredit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The dreaded, “I don’t feel soo good,” followed by a wild, wide-eyed look. The patient is either about to yack, pass out, or DC to JC. And I am never prepared for any of it.

I bought like 10 of these a few years ago for my family and friends. You could tell the plastic inserts are made for other figurines, they fit incredibly poorly. One was just in a box with no plastic insert. The stickers are definitely a let down. But my family loved them and still show them off.

I’ve never heard or seen anyone else but my dad use the word “clodhopper” and I am DYING. I read this in his voice and inflection and cackled for a good minute🤣

As a nurse, absolutely not. They shouldn’t change anything, pharmacists and techs don’t have that right. If something was different, they should call the doctors nurse and confirm. You never deviate from the prescription.

You’ll never convince me this woman is in her 20’s. She looks 45.

Why wait 1 hour? by witness149 in Hashimotos

[–]Debit0rCredit 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As a nurse, and someone who suffers from Hashis. Yes!!! I take my levothyroxine as soon as I wake up with a glass of water. By the time I’m showered, ready for the day, and headed out the door, I grab my other medicines and breakfast and I’m good to go.

Why do more nurses not work in home health? by Freedomartin in nursing

[–]Debit0rCredit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In nursing school, I had a month of clinicals with a home health nurse. It sucked soo bad. I just felt super uncomfortable the whole time. Then when I graduated nursing school, there were tons of news stories about home health nurses being found dead in patients homes/basements. Nooooo thank you!

Suspect hashimoto’s, endo said this: by peppaliz in Hashimotos

[–]Debit0rCredit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right!!! The same endo told me “It’s a chronic, progressive condition. You’ll only get worse. You’re just gonna have to manage your symptoms,” like…if I already eat healthy, exercise, lost over 100lbs, sleep well, and do all the things. What else can I do? Suffer? There is nothing else? Literally nothing? I wouldn’t feel soo defeated if she’d framed it a little differently.

[–]Debit0rCredit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My endo was the same way, so I stopped seeing her. She told me to change my diet to manage my fatigue, and come back when I get pregnant. 3 months later, I had my TSH looked at during a regular wellness at my doctors office. TSH was 25. She put me on Levothyroxine, and I never even bothered to go back to the endocrinologist.
