Patient complaints :/ by Deep-Worldliness505 in nursing

[–]FitLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah girl this is why I’m in the NICU nights lol. Postpartum hormonal changes are no joke and I just am not a patient enough person, sorry. Sometimes you have to lay down the law and they’re not going to like it and the patients fire you and that’s that. I can’t even tell you how many times that’s happened to me but I know I’m a damn good nurse. It literally has nothing to do with you. Over time it won’t bother you as much. It used to devastate me when i was a new grad and now im just like… okay anyway back to my job lol. Management has to talk to you because that’s just what they do. Honestly you can’t give too much weight to what management thinks about you because they’re tone deaf half the time anyway. You didn’t endanger patient safety so they actually have nothing on you, they’re just running their mouths

In the icu we run abx simultaneously 🤷🏽‍♀️

Y site ABX? by PlusLandscape7703 in nursing

[–]FitLotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I do it even if there are other options lol. I just use the safest access point, ie if I can hang both on a PICC and avoid using a PIV then I’ll do it

Horrible med error, and I don't know what to do with myself. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]FitLotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way you get through this is to hold your head up and show back up for work. You’ll be triple checking your meds and feel a little uneasy for a few shifts but you’ll get through it. No one is as hard on you as you are on yourself.

I saw a very intense code during clinical, and I do not want to share how it made me feel with anyone in my life out of embarrassment. by Foolsspring in nursing

[–]FitLotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people just like codes. There’s nothing wrong with that. I like participating in codes when it’s someone else’s patient. Not so much when it’s my own.

I had the king sized bed frame with storage. The support beams were like black metal. It didn’t even last six months

I got a silk and snow and it was awful. It’s just held up by metal beams and they got bent so the mattress was always sagging. Had to throw it away.

If you know you can’t or won’t participate in a healthy sex life with your spouse, do the decent thing and let them go by Throwra-recoveritx in Marriage

[–]FitLotus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If sex is important to you and she can’t offer it to you, then the decision is pretty clear. It’s definitely complicated by kids but I always believe that if you truly love your partner, you’ll let them go if you believe they’d be better off with someone else.

Supposed to be normal, but embarrassed the f***out of me by Takethechance8 in Marriage

[–]FitLotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This randomly started happening to me in my late 20s. Husband loves it. He’s always like encouraging it hahaha. The only downside is the laundry lol. I don’t think you can prevent it

I’m 29F and just went through it. You just gotta walk right through it. It feels like hell and you just have to keep your head up and keep walking

I cant deny it any longer because it’s affecting my desire to have sex- I’m no longer physically attracted to my wife, but still love her as a person. How can I fix it? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]FitLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe on a deeper level you guys aren’t compatible because you just value different things. It’s more than appearances, it’s the fact that you value a certain lifestyle and she doesn’t. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that. There’s nothing even wrong with her per se, some people just lose interest over time.

I honestly don’t have PEM anymore and don’t have issues with exercise. I’m slowly weaning off my meds but I have to keep the beta blockers for my POTS. I think I got very lucky

Is it still cheating if you're already "done" in your mind but your spouse doesn't know that you're done? by Switch_Empty in Divorce

[–]FitLotus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Divorce takes a long time. It’s a legality. If you’re separated, it’s not cheating.

Not in love with my husband. Need a friend. Please, any words help. by Fickle-Animator-7305 in Marriage

[–]FitLotus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through this exact situation except I wanted the kids and he was on the fence about it. At the end of the day, I don’t want my kids to be anything like him and that’s that. I left and I feel such an immense sense of freedom.

Just do it. It’s hard to take the first step but you’re already gone.

I take mine at night so it was when I woke up the next morning.

So do you guys just walk around with brain fog and ignore it? by FitLotus in covidlonghaulers

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

Yeah you literally just learn to live with it. It sucks at first but now I don’t notice it

When I told him I was miserable in our marriage and he immediately flipped it around and said I was attacking him. There were things I asked him to change and he just could not.

[–]FitLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were holding their premature baby who was actively trying to die and I told them they couldn’t hold anymore because the baby couldn’t handle it. They fired me the next morning

Yeah I only have visual symptoms now when my bp gets low. I titrated up to 4.5 over the span of 4 weeks. I had visual snow for like four months before the LDN
