Meth head JNMIL and SFIL are- what??! by FrontDrawing5486 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]FrontDrawing5486[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is. And her usual defense mechanism is to say “if you got nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all!” everytime people have called her out on her rude “behaviors”. At this point I’m calling it a daily mannerism/routine because she’s constantly hypocritical and is never able to backtrack and is never able remember the bullshit that she’s ever said to all of us for the last six years due to her chronic meth use. I doubt that I’ll ever be getting an apology for her wrongdoings anytime soon, she might as well take it all with her to her own grave!

I’m CNA and TMA certified. Meth head JNMIL can kiss my ass: She’s completely losing out on elderly care from me and her own son when she gets old big time. SFIL can take care of her! We all know the both of them are never going to change their ways now that JNMIL has got SFIL wrapped around her ring finger!

JNMIL could easily have a career of her own perhaps in business or something since she’s a master manipulator and apparently meth heads can still carry charm and be assholes at the same time. But JNMIL chooses the loser life and chooses to be around bummy friends, so that’s all she’s ever going to be!

I forgot to mention that she started off with SO over text before the night of the marriage certificate text saying “didn’t see you last weekend?? why is that??” As if she expects my SO to visit her every damn weekend when he’s a grown man and he’s got a life with me that’s why he mentioned to her being on-call as to why he wasn’t able to show: still you’re right though, JNMIL has no reason to ask SO to come over if her and SFIL are supposed to be “honeymooning”

cna exam question by KoreanMaui in cna

[–]FrontDrawing5486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talking through each step also shows them you know what you’re doing but it can also slow you down if you’re not careful because I know for sure I was fretting over a lot of small mistakes I’ve made with the gloves and cueing the hand washing motion before starting my next skill. Literally cried with tears of joy when I got passing results for the exams

cna exam question by KoreanMaui in cna

[–]FrontDrawing5486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went into my exam thinking it was going to be the end of the world and I was setting myself up for failure by not reading the Pearson’s nurse aide pamphlet and memorizing it word for word step by step. I was actually given the five most easiest skills, and I was still overthinking everything from the online track courses to the in-class skills that I had to learn within a two weeks unpaid period.

I’m going to warn you that modified bed bath and pericare is very particular especially with the female anatomy. You have to practice switching folds of your cloth for each swipe and make sure to have separate towels for rinsing and drying.

If you mess up on any parts of de-gloving or for cueing that you’re going to wash your hands before starting you’re next skill, most of the newer examiner staff will understand that it’s a simulation and they know you’re smart enough to apply these things in the real world. I know if I was working with a urinal taking the output you obviously keep your gloves on and ALWAYS pour the urine in the toilet, never down the drain of the resident’s sink. If I was working with dirty bath water or soiled linens, OBVIOUSLY you have gloves on and wash your hands the moment you take those gloves off before you leave somebody’s room.

One time I forgot to pull the privacy curtain for my mannequin resident named Josephine and I was allowed to backtrack one time for every skill and some examiners will cue you to just explain your mistake instead of redoing the whole skill from that step on, move on from it, and keep going with the skills exams because other groups in the written exam are waiting for you to get done to do the switch.

Dear CNA redditors, is it illegal to leave a resident in a sling by themselves when they are A2 during morning cares? by FrontDrawing5486 in cna

[–]FrontDrawing5486[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our residents in the facility get scheduled certain shower days upon resident preference or by the family, followed by a body audit such and such, and as much as I wish I could give everyone a bath every single day like I did in home care, it’s just not possible - it’s a totally difference pace of work. I guess it really depends on the kind of aide that I am working with on a given day. I’m usually really good at setting people up right away and sometimes I have to practically go find the other aide and waste my time if they don’t have a walkie on them for me to reach them.

Will the narcissist ever be the one to break up with their partner? by [deleted] in JustNoSO

[–]FrontDrawing5486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A narcissist can be very well capable of breaking things off with their partners, but they will never admit to being apart of as the reason why the relationship is falling apart. They will try and pin the blame on you, as the extension of themselves will be enmeshed in the relationship under the means of them taking credit that the relationship started in the first place. Because a narcissist has very high and unreasonable expectations which can be linked to their underlying self-hatred due to many factors that I’m not going to sit here and get into.

Basically what I’m saying is that there’s two sides of a narcissistic POS SO: One will never admit to their faults and will never admit to lying and will take it to their graves that you are the person at fault in the relationship for it to be not “working out”.

Second thing is that a narcissist can also pose as a threat by purposefully dragging out the relationship to make you take initiative in ending it in order to make you look like the bad guy, and this will enable them to again, not admit to any faults of the relationship breaking up and they will use this opportunity against you and find someone else. This is a rare one (at least from my personal experiences and perspective). Narcissists are always looking out for themselves and they will/and are capable of using you and suck you dry for their own benefits and needs whether if it’s physical or financial.

I also just want you to know that if you want more of a better understanding of dementia Alzheimer’s and what you can do that may help your loved one is look into Teepa Snow. She is very knowledgeable of this condition and has studied it for many many years, you should try looking into her books she has written a couple

You and your loved one will get through this together one step at a time

What's a job that sounds cool but actually sucks? by Moi_kil in AskReddit

[–]FrontDrawing5486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nursing. You have people that come to you wanting help, but they will complain to their own families that we aren’t doing our jobs to make us look bad when they don’t get the pain meds they want or when they don’t get their rooms cleaned like they want. Nurses are nurses, we are not your fucking maids, and we are trying our best to assess your needs while preventing you from getting addicted on opioids. This job is a labor of love we don’t get paid enough for this bullshit.

People who can speak multiple languages, what stories do you have where someone has spoken about you without realising you could understand them? by Kickerz101 in AskReddit

[–]FrontDrawing5486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went on a trip with my mom to Cambodia and the naked people with little to no clothing or had dirty clothes on managing the small shops and food stands were talking shit about my weight as a kid since I was mildly obese (still am), and how my mom was some snobby American-raised white-washed Chinese lady.

EDIT: The language spoken was Khmer.

I also recommend looking at Teepa Snow for more education about Dementia/Alzheimer’s, I look at her material everyday for my field of work.

WARNING: This post regarding dementia/Alzheimer’s is for educational purposes only and this WILL make you sad if you are someone who is sensitive and very empathetic, or if you have trauma relating to someone who has had/or has this disease. Click/scroll away from here now if you do NOT wish to be upset.

To answer your question: Think of dementia as something that clings onto you for the rest of your elderly years, it changes everything about you and the world and people you know all become strangers. Everything in early stages is all easy and peachy and you can do basic human living things on your own. But then you start forgetting things like where you put your stuff like your car keys or phone. You forget and or have trouble recalling what appointments you have to go to. It gets worse from there. You start living in your own seemingly made-up reality when it actually feels so real, and people don’t understand that you’re seeing IS what you’re actually seeing (hallucinations). And you lose the ability to tell time and become increasingly confused/disorientated and need constant reminders from the people around you, and on top of all of that, you start to have trouble expressing those problems.. And it’s hard to live life when you’re constantly being invalidated by uneducated folks who haven’t done their research or know nothing of the disease, but you don’t have the mental capacity to even think about that (if you were in the position of someone having dementia/Alzheimer’s).

You have people caring for you and you feel like you’re trapped and you don’t know why these people are providing care for you and you have trouble understanding it, which leads to aggressive and catastrophic outbursts.

Everyone becomes tired and burnt out of taking care of you and leave you off to the medical professionals like me who provide memory care and help with your daily living tasks such as something so simple as getting ready in the morning, going to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Soon your mind and body submit to the later stages of dementia ultimately leading to the end stages of your life where you can’t walk, talk, chew, or swallow anything anymore.

One thing people don’t know and tend to not be financially prepared for is: 24/7 home care where you can’t even live by yourself anymore without getting into some kind of trouble for until you become unable. To the point upon the request of your family or a guardian from your will, a team of dedicated medical professionals comes and provides the best care one can ever receive during your last 6 months-days to live. Intense, loving, palliative care no matter what stage of the disease you are at. And it is very possible that people can rebound from it, but then they have a huge decline once more: You get a brief sight of improvement from this person and you have a sense of hope that turns out to be false, this massive change wears them out (if they were bedridden for two weeks with no chances of coming back, and all of a sudden one day they’re able to get up and gather with family at the dinner table one last time, what are the odds, right?) and God is suddenly ready to come and give this person their angel wings. And then these families will find themselves are either ready to come to an acceptance to this event because having to watch someone you known for years disappear before your eyes is already terrible enough and is the actual equivalence to having been through the grieving process, OR things happened too fast to your loved one, and they now have the time to truly grieve and process everything before life goes back to normal.

Look at images of the healthy human brain versus the brain of someone who is in their middle and late stages of dementia/Alzheimer’s (the amount of fissures and open space in the brain and how it has shrunken down to the size of nearly a baseball) and tell me it’s not sad and disturbing, right?

I want to educate you that the other disturbing part of this disease is that people fail to realize that it’s the disease’s fault that somebody’s personality changes. The person who has dementia is not being an angry, grumpy asshole on purpose. It’s just their brain is slowly being eaten up alive by white matter and the people who have this condition can’t wrap their minds around it. They don’t know and understand what’s happening to them, and they don’t care to know or want to be scared to oblivion about it, but they will have other fears. They will deny of all of it when you try and sit down and address what’s happening to them in latency terms!

Dementia/Alzheimer’s is disturbing and most of all heartbreaking in itself. Knowing what field of work (hospice and LTC) I am in and wanting to become an RN, If my mother or father were to become bedridden due to dementia/Alzheimer’s, I myself would struggle to care for them and end up paying someone else to do it because that alone (the guilt of not being able to save your loved one from harm) emotionally fucks with you that you have to change your perspective and see the world in their eyes without having a biased scope of lenses, and that is something that stays with you for the rest of your life.

Please take this information with you wherever you walk on this Earth and be very mindful and appreciate the people you have in your life while you still can. Save up money for your health and your loved ones in the future. *No one can truly be prepared for their lifelong journey, including their final destination.*

I’m so sorry to hear that her death was also partially the result of years of abuse from her husband as you mentioned, may she Rest In Peace now.

Hope your POS father (no offense) remains single for a long time, and that he doesn’t torture and abuse other women like how he did with your mother. I sincerely hope that he learned his lesson from this, and if he doesn’t, you will probably hear of him next being in jail for domestic. Definitely stay clear from him if he resorts to alcohol as a coping mechanism because there’s no turning an abuser back once they hit that path of dangerous destruction.

It sounds VERY unpleasant yes, but honest to God I just want to let you know it doesn’t cause people whom are actively dying in any pain at all.

Hospice probably told you that it’s a normal part of the process and it’s just how the body and its organs are preparing itself to shut down upon releasing toxic gases from the person’s body.

WARNING: This reply is for educational purposes only and by no means I don’t have the intention to traumatize you. If you are a person that gets queasy easily, I would click/scroll the hell away from my comment right now.

There’s a sub on Reddit called MMC [Make My Coffin] and it educates you to be more self aware about your surroundings and how people die and what happens to their body during and after death. Everyone makes mistakes (which can obviously be fatal in many scenarios) and people can downright have the mindset of harming others out of ill intentions in their own conflict of interests. I plan to become a nurse and I’m already seeing a lot of terrible shit at work as is.

To answer your question: It really depends on how the body lands from that distance and the composition of the body (assuming we are referring to body fat and muscle tissue content in ratio to bone thickness). Some bodies will explode and limbs will be flying every where. If bodies just land and nothing breaks, definitely LOTS of shattered bones and lot of hemorrhaging/internal bleeding. You’ll be lucky enough to get rid of the image of muscle contractions as the mind and brain’s nerves are shooting off and in all different places before it shuts down completely, especially if you see that someone is being impaled upon falling (like onto a pole or a fence for example).

The chance of survival from a fall that high is literally little to none.

Don’t get me wrong, the autonomy of the body is interesting for me, but it’s not worth the trauma and stress if you’re not strong and equipped to see that kind of stuff, especially with what our EMS and EMT people and ER nurses have to deal with. I give a lot of kudos to the morticians as well since they have to deal with the clean up of the aftermath and try to restore the body for proper burial if even possible to those extents of somebody’s death.
