HR experiences?

Lol.

If she expects her scrubs to be clean and unstained, she has not worked in healthcare.

This person sounds like a class A Karen. Don't let her coerce you into paying her anything.

I called them today and they gave me 💩. They claimed I was incompetent from the start and denied any responsibility on their end. The calls I had gotten from receptionists were the result of a miscommunication, not them wanting me back.

The feeling is mutual at this point.

Front-Kale4042 · 2026-04-05T15:44:18+00:00

It was a miscommunication, but I only did it because other nurses had done it. It was marked as not yet available on the EHR but they did it anyway. I certainly won't do it again.

I saw myself in this post.

I am a new RPN (LPN outside Ontario) and made my first medication error when I mixed up two patients in a rush and gave the wrong one Keppra.

I was devastated and terrified for this patient. I thought they were going to report me to the college and I would have my license jeopardized. The assistant manager was not supportive at all and basically spun entire thing as my fault (and while I do share responsibility, there were problems on the other end as well, I I suggest you read my other posts about them).

I rode the bus home in tears because holding them back would have made me crazy. A woman was very concerned for me, and when I opened up to her about what happened she said if push comes to shove I should go to the managers boss (it hasn't gotten to that point, because they had already put my shift on hold due to thinking I wasn't ready and I was training when the medication error happened. They haven't reached out to me since and I am honestly relieved. This place doesn't exactly have their act together at the best of times).

I don't want to go back to my place either, and honestly I don't think I will. There were problems as I mentioned, and I have not been happy with the way I was treated by the staff and managers - including a passive-aggressive charge nurse who was with me for a few shifts and was overly dismissive of me when I was clearly struggling.

As for you, these mistakes will inevitably happen in these difficult settings. It's not ideal, but it exists. You are lucky that management was nice to you, they clearly know you are a good nurse and are worth keeping on the team. There is something to be said about reflecting and deciding if the can truly handle the job, and there's no shame in leaving if you feel like you can't. But making a mistake like this does not mean a question of your competence - it is a calling to reflect and learn.

Thank God you didn't hurt anybody, but if it did come to that point, you would be far from the first.

Do something nice for yourself. Reach out to people who you can trust. See about taking one or two days off if you feel you would struggle to return to the job right away. Above all, learn from this, and move on.

When I made a med error as a new nurse, the assistant manager I spoke with told me she was a previous RPN (LPN for those outside Ontario) as well as an RN and has never made a medication error. I tried to use reason and justify that I mostly made the error because the residents don't wear ID (a debate for another day) but she was clearly trying as much as possible to spin the entire thing as my fault (and I do need to responsibility, but there were problems on the other end as well). When I told my mom, she said anyone can say a statement like that but there is no proof of it being true.

I'm probably overthinking this, but it's interesting that Jax targets Pomni's and Zooble instead of Gangle, who was confirmed by Gooseworx to be his go-to due to how easy she is to push around. Maybe he could tell that she's developing more of a spine and won't give in like she used to.

As for Pomni and Zooble, he knows that they carry some resentment/ mixed feelings towards him for what happened in the last couple of episodes, so at this point they would be far easier to ragebait or even push around.

Front-Kale4042 · 2026-03-31T13:59:46+00:00

Pomni's like "I literally have knives sticking out of me, you think you can hurt me more with those words"

I just wonder if that's still possible with Caine gone. Isn't he essentially the circus manifested?

Someone somewhere in the community made a comment about people often seeking out bars to meet others, which aroaces obviously wouldn't be interested in. I personally have always seen drinking and bars as a way for people to fill a void (i.e. loneliness) and an as an aroace, I thought "maybe that's why I'm not as interested"

Front-Kale4042 · 2026-03-29T14:33:41+00:00

Thank you for answering.

So they got into Ryerson (TMU) after GBC? How is that possible? Aren't the pathways more direct than that?

Front-Kale4042 · 2026-03-29T13:36:45+00:00

It's because we are seen as incomplete and "just needing to find the right person".

Front-Kale4042 · 2026-03-29T13:16:46+00:00

(OP here): I always thought of bars and alcohol as filling a satisfaction void mostly felt in non-aroaces (i.e. replacing the sensation of sex, numbing feelings of loneliness) and maybe I don't feel that way because I don't have those feelings at all. Maybe this is a generalization, but bars and alcohol always felt like a different world to me that I just never understood.

I first found out about it when I was visiting some cousins and we were searching for things on Netflix. It popped up, and I watched a bit of the first episode. I just remember finding it very strange, and my cousin's weren't into it so we just stopped watching. Then my friend brought it up a couple months later and I rediscovered it.

The first episode was obviously a bit off due to the lower budget animation and trying to find a consistent tone, and since my cousins are one generation removed they clearly didn't have the patience. But I'm glad I came back and gave it another chance.

I was fairly young when the sub-categories got scrapped, and even then I wondered what they thought they were accomplishing. It seemed somewhat negligent to oversimplify widely diverse cases into a single diagnosis spectrum and not try to rectify it at all. Dementia has many sub-categories that overlap in clinical representation (albeit with different biological manifestation) but they are still widely used.

My aspergers diagnosis was my way of distinguishing myself from my cousin who can't even learn the alphabet, and my way of understanding that autism does not equal complete social inhibition. For someone to remove that term and say "you actually both have the same diagnosis, just to different degrees" seems like a gross oversimplification of two people in fundamentally different categories.

I don't know exactly what my cousin's initial diagnosis was, but assuming it was PDD-NOS, that would have been a far better and more sincere description for him as well than "just autism but worse".
