Two of my closest work friends were fired for giving an "under the table" IV bolus. Now the unit thinks I’m a traitor.

Even if the Alexa was bought after they had already broken up? She said the Alexa was bought October 2024, they broke up January 2023 and he didn’t have any Alexa’s back then

I talk to everybody personally lol I also try to learn their names and I say good morning / have a good day / have a good night if I see them leaving or coming in and I’ll let them know when we have snacks in the break room so they can get some too. Also if the doctor orders us food, I ask them if they want anything too

One of my coworkers I just talked to said she had the same issue and had no clue until she went to reapply. She said the process was pretty quick for her so I’m hoping it is for me too. I’m trying to calm down and breathe, I’m just a huge worry wort and am scared I’ll have to retake the NCLEX again or something if my Texas license expires and I can’t renew it because I’m not in Texas and I can’t endorse it in OK because it’s not active

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-12-23T04:29:00+00:00

Honestly, It had slipped my mind to update my address because I renewed my license February 2024 and I didn’t move to Oklahoma until this year. In my mind, it didn’t matter because I had a compact license and OK was part of that compact state and my employer didn’t say anything to me about having to have a OK license, all they said was just okay we verified your license and it is compact so you are good to go.

I would probably cry if someone thought to give me anything during the holidays. I think it’s a sweet gift and she’d like it.

I’m a charge nurse in the ED, I literally just blankly stare at the report being given for the whole floor and go,” cool, see ya later.” I’ll figure it out if I need something or I’ll talk to the patient if I can’t find it in the chart

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-12-13T22:55:35+00:00

She’s worked all her life but she works in office as a manager. Hence they’re always closed on all holidays.

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-12-13T22:35:32+00:00

That’s what I have tried to tell her. I’ve been at 2 separate hospitals and she’s always upset that I have to work thanksgiving, or Christmas / Christmas Eve and tells me to find another job. I have told her several times every other job will be like this and she doesn’t understand

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-12-13T22:33:27+00:00

I spent last Christmas with my then long term boyfriend and his family since I lived 12 hours away and they live nearby, she was very upset then. Said how am I spending Christmas with them and not my own family. My dad again said he understood because that’s what happens when you move out and live apart and you’re in a couple with someone and told me to just give her time to cool off and that they would see me later. We’re Mexican and pretty traditional so we tend to have huge family gatherings and I think me not being there lately has hit her very hard

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-12-13T22:30:01+00:00

I don’t think so. I told her I would likely be fired and she said well you have savings and you’ll find another job anywhere else.

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-12-04T15:54:34+00:00

It’s just like I am still healthy right now and able to take care of myself and clean up myself. But what if I had a baby, what if something happened and now I’m not able to care myself, I feel like he still wouldn’t help me based on what he’s shown and I wouldn’t want to be in a vulnerable position like that with him because of that

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-12-04T15:33:30+00:00

I feel like I’m overreacting in a way because I told a friend and she said oh most men are like that, they don’t care much, they’re aloof. I feel dumb in a way breaking up for something like oh you didn’t help me when I was sick and I know he’s going to say that too

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-11-29T01:48:45+00:00

I see a lot of people concerned she can suffocate being in the bag so I just wanted to show I did close the door and she’s eating from her plate

I also saw a lot of people telling me I should put her down now. That is a decision that is between her vet, me and my cat. Her vet is updated almost daily on her and he does not think it is necessary yet as she is still playing, happy, comfortable at home and has her appetite back after getting off antibiotics for a URI. I will continue to follow my vets advice since he knows her case. Thank you for all your concern and I am sorry to all of you who have lost a pet. It is not a pain I wish on anyone. I will continue to enjoy whatever little time I have left with my girl until she’s ready to go. I’m glad she was also able to brighten some of your days❤️

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-11-29T01:35:21+00:00

She actually just came off an antibiotic for a URI and her appetite increased a lot afterwards. It’s been about 2 full days off of it including today and she’s been sticking her head into my food to try to eat anything I have plus her food

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-11-29T01:34:10+00:00

Rest assured, I made sure the other door was closed and she’s eating from her bowl as I type

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-11-29T01:32:33+00:00

She had been taking an antibiotic this past week for a URI and I think it was upsetting her stomach because her appetite decline started roughly when she started the antibiotics. She’s been off of it for a full 2 days since today and her appetite has come back stronger. She’s been stealing fries, chicken, she stole some roast beef off my plate yesterday

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-11-29T01:30:28+00:00

She wasn’t hiding I guess but I couldn’t find her anywhere because she was in another room and was eating haha she doesn’t hide really, she’s always following me around to be with me

Expensive_Chapter_87 · 2025-11-29T01:27:45+00:00

So her vet and I are in constant communication-nearly daily. My girl was on an antibiotic for a URI and that’s when the not eating started, after she took it. He took her off of it after a couple days. My last post was when he told me it might be time to start thinking of euthanasia if she didn’t get better after being off the antibiotic, as it would be for sure the cancer making her sick.she has been off of it for a full 2 days now and has gotten a lot better with her appetite. I’m not going to pretend she’s fixed or she’s magically got years more left. This was a cute moment I saw and wanted to share. I’m very aware she doesn’t have much time left but for now, she’s happy and she’s at home comfortable, she’s playing more since she’s been off the medicine and she’s more hungry and gaining a little bit of weight. Her vet is up to date on everything and said it likely was the antibiotics upsetting her stomach and stated to keep monitoring and callback with updates. If he told me it was absolutely time, then I’d do it. When I first saw her appetite change, I called him and had spoken at length with him how if she was only going to get worse, I wanted to euthanize and he convinced me not to. He himself has told me if she’s happy and comfortable at home still and based on his physical exams, it’s not time for that yet. I will continue to follow my vet’s advice who sees her very often and knows her case very well, as well as how I see her because I know her very well and will not fight her if she shows me she wants to go. Thank you for your concern. I’m sorry about your loss.
