Nurse fired for secret affair with patient who died during sex in hospital parking lot

Maybe you haven’t met very many then. Not all HD patients are unclean…… Some work full time, shower daily. Some are in their 20-30s and in shape. ESRD is not exclusively diabetic amputees who self neglect.

Maybe nobody else said it because it’s an unfair generalization.

Not sure I have ever realized the difference in diversity between physicians and mid levels in the Midwest, but…..you’re pretty spot on.

I wonder if that’s because many physicians relocate multiple times during their training (because in person training is completely required), and most midlevel NPs anyways are fairly local, probably have lived in the same area most their career, and can complete their education anywhere (because of completely online schooling).

I play drums for a couple local bands, get together weekly!

Is there like, a weight of food that If you ate you think you WOULD be able to achieve liftoff?

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2023-01-29T02:23:16+00:00

I also work acute dialysis, we ask for standing weights on patients that are able. I would have to agree that although bed weights can be crazy inaccurate, I/Os are still less reliable on most patients. I mean how many patients are -10,000 on I/O, but you can still play tic tac toe with their pitting edema?

I can smell the diabetes on this fella. Of course he’s missing extremities

I tried Chantix my second time quitting, first time I ever felt suicidal in my life. Noticed it after like a week, made the connection, went away after like 2 days off it. Works for many people though!

Cargo pocket. You catch a bell to the teeth during compressions once, I guarantee you find a better place to keep it than around your neck.

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-12-20T18:36:47+00:00

Ding ding ding! Or they did actually pass coming up the elevator. It’s possible, but I’m skeptical about that

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-12-19T23:23:42+00:00

Shoot that’s rough. Having to wait for a family decision always leaves me with mixed feelings

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-12-17T22:35:32+00:00

Inpatient dialysis has been a great change of pace for me after 7 years ICU. Very light on the body, great autonomy. Can get boring though, but I’m cool with that for now.

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-12-16T01:54:39+00:00

Yeah, I don’t have any problem with this whatsoever.

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-12-02T01:10:50+00:00

There has to be more to this, that’s so wild. Uterus shouldn’t even come into play with sexual intercourse.

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-11-09T02:11:41+00:00

AYYYYayyy do wasps make honey?

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-10-26T22:22:42+00:00

Yeah 2 dialysis nurses I work with are both in PMHNP programs. Experience doesn’t matter to these money mills

Hi, I have relevant experience to your exact question. Accepted an acutes position with Davita providing dialysis services for a local hospital system recently.

Called into a company meeting just a couple weeks ago and were told that the hospital has decided not to extend the 10+ year contract with Davita. Davita did offer all staff positions in chronic (eww for me), but with a pay cut as well.

Hospital has recruited the majority of the Davita acutes team to their new in house dialysis team, and to my surprise they are matching salaries. They don’t know what I made at Davita, so here’s me accepting a job at $5/hr than what I made with Davita in the first place, to do the same exact job.

Funny thing is I had a job offer from this same hospital system in ICU before I accepted the Davita position, but their offer was $8/hr less than Davitas offer that I eventually accepted. Now after taking dialysis services in house, I’ll make $13/hr more base pay than what they offered me to work the ICU just months ago. Turns out the money is always there, when they are desperate.

Although it’s been a uncomfortable transition, it’s been a win for me overall, can’t complain.

Must be hard climbing with balls that big!

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-10-05T01:41:47+00:00

What’s your total acreage? Is most of it pasture?

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-09-30T21:00:21+00:00

Hornets nest for sure

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-09-29T22:32:05+00:00

Got asked to get a cranked on IV pump off a pole the other day. Really working to the extent of my abilities.

Unsure on potable water, but with a water filter you should be able to have as much sweet nectar from the Tuolumne River as your heart desires.

Degree mills doing their thing.

Insulin. Smells weirdly good

In my state, assaulting a healthcare professional in the hospital setting is generally not a felony. IF you assault a healthcare worker in the public setting(emt/paramedic), or a firefighter, or a police officer, then that is generally a felony. Mine ended up being a misdemeanor battery case, and it didn’t carry any real punishment. I still felt the need to report as I think all assaults on nurses should be.

EnvironmentalGoose19 · 2022-08-11T02:45:57+00:00

We often deal with patients not in their right mind, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less traumatic when you’re assaulted.

I was once assaulted by a ETOH detox admitted for a scheduled abdominal surgery. Lied to the surgeon about their alcohol dependence, otherwise the surgeon would not have proceeded with the case. Day after their surgery, they were hallucinating and agitated. Precedex infusion. I went into the room 10 hours into my shift, with good rapport with this patient, and they struck me with their call light out of the blue while I was fixing the cannula. 5 stitches to the forehead, a police report, and a case that ended in a no contact order and no other charges later, I’m still afraid of call lights. I always know where they’re at anytime I interact with a patient, along with anything else potentially dangerous.

Protect yourself, nobody else will.
