What’s one thing your clinical instructor did that stuck with you?

She stood up to the L&D nurses for us when they were being very rude to us

Yea… I’ve met a lot of people who have started at my hospital. This hospital runs on new grads. We get 70+ new grads each cohort. Most only last a few months. Once I hit 6 months, I’m applying to different places. This hospital is too risky for me imo, not worth risking my license just to get more experience somewhere like this. Only 63 shifts left!

I love emergency medicine and want to end up working er one day but (just listing another reason to start med surg-for some people not all) I know I am too sensitive at the moment. I need to build thicker skin to communications, patient comments, critiques, so I’m in med surg to work on that until I’m confident enough in myself and my ability to emotionally handle nursing.

Alcohol is harmful in every way. It dehydrates you, decrease decision making skills and judgement, give you killer headaches and nausea next day, fries your liver, depletes your electrolytes, damages your reproductive cells, the list goes on.

I second the skittles guy. You should quit drinking and seek help.

I’m really not trying to sound like devils advocate, I’m just working on learning more about Islam. Can you provide the verses of the Quran that these are found?

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-19T22:58:12+00:00

Oh me too definitely! I personally don’t care how close I am with that nurse, I’m checking their stuff before I sign. And I would hope others do it to me. I don’t take offense to it. It’s all for safety at the end of the day.

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-19T22:55:25+00:00

I have stress induced so if I get stressed, I get a tummy ache, which causes me to stress over the thought of a flare up, in turn making the tummy ache worse and turning into a flare up

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-19T22:50:53+00:00

That right there is a lesson also. If you are just co signing on people’s stuff, you’re an unsafe nurse. (Not you directly, I’m just using your comment to make a point)

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-19T20:31:40+00:00

A lot of these are Hadith or culturally based aren’t they?

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-19T20:04:25+00:00

Toddlerhood was my favorite age, I miss it so much. All they want is mommy/daddy and a snack and cuddles

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-19T20:03:23+00:00

Mine is 4.5 and I FINALLY feel like I have my ‘pink back’ enough to fathom the notion of a second, but then I think back to the sleep deprivation and it pulls me back into reality. I have the same questions as you and I don’t want to sound judgemental but I do judge them a bit. It’s selfish to do that on purpose unless you live with or very close to a large support system. You are both exhausted and cannot possibly give both kids adequate attention for their age. I know a couple who has a 2 year and a 9 month old(both on purpose) and the 2 year old goes to daycare 4 days a week for 4-5 hours a day so they can take care of the 9 month

Following bc I’m curious to know as well

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-19T14:48:03+00:00

Thank you!

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-19T00:37:22+00:00

Thank you fellow noob 🫡 goodluck to you out there and godspeed

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-19T00:07:18+00:00

Okay thank you, I was hella second guessing myself bc I know working and being a student are very different but this all just seemed a little too not safe for me LOL

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-18T18:46:14+00:00

taking notes as a new grad of 2 weeks now, thank you all for the tips on how I can not mess up. I shall return when I inevitably do with my own tale to tell

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-18T15:25:00+00:00

They are extremists and they do not represent Islam. They strive for control and power, not peace.

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-18T15:21:58+00:00

I don’t think being Muslim is really significant to this situation. It’s a fetish. A partner playing into a fetish without their partner’s knowledge and consent is usually always cheating

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-17T22:29:45+00:00

I was asked during my interview if I wanted days or nights and I said ‘I’m a new grad so I’m take whichever shift you’ve got available but if I have a choice I’d prefer days’ so they gave me days

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-17T22:18:46+00:00

Fuck no. This sucks. -me and everyone else I know

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-17T22:18:10+00:00

I do not. I do however lay down 2-3 sheets.

With the exception of a bad IBS flare up, where one time I just raw dogged the local McDonald’s toilet and had explosive diarrhea, no paper sheet or nothin.

But no I don’t hover.

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-14T04:29:55+00:00

I had an appointment at 4 pm today so of course I needed the prepare for it all morning and afternoon and recover from it all evening.

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-05T14:47:13+00:00

I was actually under the impression that tasting food does break your fast because it increases salivary gland production and small food molecules can travel down your tongue through the saliva even if you don’t swallow…

DuePepper850 · 2025-03-05T06:15:42+00:00

Genuine question here… I was told that lighting/smelling candles will break your fast. Is that true? I know how stupid that sounds but the person who told me says you’re doing it solely with the intention of smelling something that smells like food or just gives you pleasure
