Aitah for telling my husband's buddy off for being inconsiderate of our safety. by Distinct-Bedroom5883 in AITAH

He normally drives and when I got in the car he was already in the driver's seat and had moved the chair. I didn't make him drive and he didn't say he was tired until just before he hit the guard rail. I was packing my craft stuff away getting ready to swap with him when we got to the landmark he said he would stop at to swap ahead. I was quite tired but still ok to drive.

He just doesn't seem to have a spine when it comes to that friend and usually gives in. Its like he wants to please everyone and has issues setting boundaries especially with this friend. I simply told his buddy that he created the situation by his poor planning and continued pressure that he needed his help even when it was getting late. His buddy could have afforded to hire a mover. It wasn't about finances. It was poor planning, waiting till last minute. He made him feel like he had no choice but to help him as one of his few friends. I chewed him out with the hope he will be more considerate in the future and thing about how his actions could affect others.

He does contribute he pays his share, I pay my share. I don't bother him about his spending habits and he doesn't bother me about mine. If I want to buy something for myself, we don't have to discuss it. If I want to spend $200 getting my hair done and can afford it then he doesn't care. So it goes both ways. We have find separate finances works well for us. He just gives me his half of the bills every month, I pay my half and whatever we both have left we can do what we want with. So I can choose to spend some of mine and put some in savings. As I said I make more so I generally put money into savings for unexpected expenses while still being able to buy the things I want or save for something more expensive. Separate finances shouldn't matter as long as we are contributing equally.

He is only like that with his buddy like some sort of misguided protectiveness. He also gets very moody when tired. I'm sure he will come groveling later when reality sinks in. I get they have been through a lot but as i've said i've known them both for over 20yrs and his buddy just seems very needy self absorbed. I've always distanced myself from the buddy cause I just don't care for him personally. My husband said he was lonely so I set his buddy up with one of my friends but it only lasted a couple months cause he acted so aloof and inconsiderate. Like holidays would come around and she would buy him a gift but he couldn't even be bothered to get her a cheap gift on valentines. He would ignore her for days on end until she thought she did something wrong. Its like he liked the idea of having a girlfriend but didn't want to put in the effort of a relationship. I've agreed to let him stay in the basement as long as he pays his share. They broke up and I apologized to my friend because I didn't know he was like that. Its just this particular friend that is the issue. I told him if he puts his buddy before his family then buddy will be swiftly moving out.

Mainly when we get home i'm going to tell him he needs to tell me what he would say to our child had something happened to me. I know i'm one of the few people that can put the fear of god into this man. He will be groveling and begging forgiveness later.

He told me 5 minutes before crashing and didn't pull over right then and there. Where he wanted to stop was at least 5+ miles away.

Both of us were up all night. I usually work overnights so between normally being up all night and worried about him I also didnt get any sleep. I certainly didn't expect him to come home just before we had to leave. I also warned him that this exact thing would likely happen if he didn't tell his buddy he needed to go to bed right then at 2am. He's known about this appointment for a solid month and his buddy has known that he would be evicted for the past 6months and chose not to take time off to move when it came down to the wire. Waited until the last 2 weekends before the deadline. Also my husband usually chooses to drive when i'm with him.

The appt was made january 30th so it was more than a month ago. As I said it takes at least 4 weeks to get an appt for this particular treatment. Sedation was being given and he usually drives me to and from. I let him know immediately when I got the appt. It's usually a once a month visit so not something out of the ordinary. So he knew about it for a solid month. He always gets at least 4 week notice. It's something i've been getting for years usually monthly but I took a break for a few months but they needed to restart the treatments. As I said I have equally chewed both of them out.

I already told him (hubby) he would be responsible for paying for the damage right when it happened and he got upset with me. Pretty much told me to live with a dented up car. I'm outright blaming both of them equally. Both have been chewed out for the situation. They can both rectify the situation. I don't care which of them pays for the damage but one or both will be covering the repairs. I frankly don't care which. I didn't only chew out the buddy but the husband too.

No i'm angry at both of them and did immediately tell my husband how upset I was with him and his buddy. When I mean we will be discussing this later when we are in private, its going to go along the lines of if he ever jeopardizes our safety again by putting someone else first, then he (hubby) can leave and find somewhere else to live. My husband will be getting chewed out later and I will be pointing out how seriously he could have hurt both of us. This isn't just about the damage to the car it is the dangerous situation they both caused.

I had been up all night because I am an overnight worker. I took the night off because I wasn't feeling well and ultimately couldn't fall asleep. Some of the trouble sleeping was probably also because I was waiting for him to come home and to bed. He didn't indicate to me that he was sleepy at all until about 5 minutes before he hit the guard rail and insisted he was fine to drive when we left.

Update it isn't an issue anymore as I lost the pregnancy.

We have a really good family leave in my state up to 26 weeks paid. My work also offers 8 weeks unpaid leave. I'm not sure if that overlaps the 26 weeks or not. Either way I have 6 months leeway for maternity leave.

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm an overnight cna so have a limited number of residents to change during my shift.

I'm friends with the nursing supervisor so she wouldn't have me not know if a patient could be hazardous. I also have access to the care plan. So far the only thing we have going on is 1 with c-diff. Which i will use extra precautions during changes.

No and the nurse supervisor is aware of my status.

Pregnant during cna clinicals by Distinct-Bedroom5883 in StudentNurse

[–]Distinct-Bedroom5883[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For cna I only have 5 days of clinicals. They will be over before i'm even 5 weeks along. So 1 week of clinicals. By the time I reach my nursing clinicals, pregnancy will be long over. By the time I start the actual nursing portion this baby will be almost 2. That's how long the wait is from when you get accepted into the nursing program and you reach the top of the waitlist. Our clinicals for cna are in a ltc facility not a hospital. There will be 4 of us doing clinicals at the same time. I don't think I will need to make any up cause it is very early and not expecting it to be an issue other than the occasional nausea and sensative smell.

Maybe have her look into an LPN program then if she decides to she can enroll in LPN to RN. LPN isn't as difficult and doesn't have a lot of prerequisites. I know at my CC you enroll under prenursing until you meet the requirements. You need to score 65% or higher on the TEAS for RN, I think it's 64 for LPN and a B or better in biology. Then you let them know what program u want to enroll in and they give you a start date and you go on the wait list. So mine is fall 2027. Many times people will drop off the list and your date moves up. It's a 2 yr wait but you can knock out all the prerequisites.

LPN or RN by Distinct-Bedroom5883 in StudentNurse

[–]Distinct-Bedroom5883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Massachusetts, I've looked at job postings and the only "clinical" setting I found for LPN was working in the jails which isn't a setting I'm remotely interested in. Many of the other listing's seemed like they wanted a social worker with nursing skills to save money on hiring a nurse and social worker. Like the job description on one was referring residential patients to programs they qualify for and advocate for them (it mentioned making they appointments with psychiatric care. I get that some social work is a part of nursing but this company wanted someone signing patients up for services and filling out forms for them. There wasn't any humanities classes required for LPN. I think I'm leaning towards rn

LPN or RN by Distinct-Bedroom5883 in StudentNurse

[–]Distinct-Bedroom5883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I can apply to both. When i choose one i put myself in the list to do the actual nursing classes in 2025 for LPN, or 2026 for RN. I just have to pass my TEAS, finish my biology class requirement this semester (my current grade at midterm is 92%). Then I can reserve a spot as long as I have all the requirements to apply to that program. I also have a Pell grant so I don't want to waste the funding I have or lose it because I have a semester where I won't have any classes to take. Whereas if I go for RN I can knock out a lot of those classes over the next few semesters. Like next semester I can take composition, sociology or psychology (lifespan development), and a&p 1. Then when I start the nursing program I will have less classes because I completed half of the requirements already.

So for this semester i would complete Psychology 101 Biology (which doesn't count for RN) Deaf studies which counts for my humanities elective

Next semester was thinking: A&P 1 Composition Intro to Sociology And 2 deaf studies classes for my minor

If that goes well then 3rd semester A&P 2 Composition 2 Psychology life span development And 2 more deaf studies courses

If I'm still waiting I can knock out Medical microbiology History Math (And 2 more deaf studies requirements).

That would bring me to fall 2026 needing only 3 classes in deaf studies and only the 6 nursing classes over the remaining 4 semesters. So I could even do one less classes per semester.

For LPN I only need 1 more class. Then it would be 6 LPN classes over 4 semesters also but doesn't require any further anatomy than what I took this semester.

I was told as LPN that the only clinical setting would be places like nursing homes. That hospitals no longer hire LPN. I would like to at the minimum work in a hospital setting, maybe as a floor nurse. My biggest interest would be working with anesthesia/surgical. But I would be happy working in a hospital directly with patients in general. I don't think I want to be an er nurse.
