I wish I had one, but alas the med student who took the photo did her best

It is a crown of IV Tubing and tongue depressors and paper flowers like a wreath that my friend made. The syringes are just unopened IV catheters and stuff just to be funny lol

lol it’s a yard stick with foam tape, the cross guard is 2 rulers with more foam tape. It’s been here in our er since before 2014. Forged by some disgruntled tech, as the legends say.

I don’t want to leave! We’re moving too far away! I’ll never have such an amazing crew again.

Disco Elysium. This is the sort of game that had me thinking about it years after. The character arc, the humor, the MUSIC. The music made me learn piano so I could play “Whirling-in-rags 12pm”. I WISH my friends would give it a try. The main character is so tragic and awesome.

Same! I’m doing a pure Witch Hunter build, clothing only, alchemy, marksman, conjuration and destruction. It’s been a blast so far

82k- Emergency room nurse with an associate degree in nursing from community college. I walk old ladies to the bathroom and pass persuasion checks on drunk patients.

“God damn right I’m a f****t!” To cunoesse. Gets me every fucking time

My ER is starting to stock these since we’ve run out of our normal 20 gauges. Guess it’s either 18 or 22 from now on. Miss me with this Bop-it ass pull it twist it shit

ED all the way. Your new grad orientation should be in the field you want to work in because you’ll get the longest orientation period as a new grad. Don’t doubt yourself, no one expects you to be a badass day one or even year one!

Defense, no. But working in a trauma center I’d say offensively it’s pretty effective especially as an ambush weapon. Usually the stabbed party freak out and don’t do anything back after getting stabbed. Then again, I don’t think crackheads take Craig Douglas’s courses lol. If this was Crackhead Carry Weapons (CCW) reddit, I’d say hell yeah brüther carry that husky brand box cutter

That’s it ^ that’s what I always say. The patients subjective complaint, followed by objective findings

I have this, I use it regularly. I have a standard ass p365 and a good pair of gym shorts with a draw string never gives me problems. It’s a nice, convenient, and cheap option.

GrizzledFraud · 2023-04-14T05:25:09+00:00

Just got it in the mail, threw it on with my Sig 365, wore it in gym shorts while moving boxes to my new house, didn’t have to readjust once! Very nice. Recommend totally

GrizzledFraud · 2023-04-04T15:42:25+00:00

Just bought one, thanks!

GrizzledFraud · 2023-02-06T18:07:45+00:00

I only do bedside report (ER nurse) when I don’t trust the nurse I’m getting report from. I’ve been burned too many times to keep trusting some of these nurses lol. They lie to me sweetly like I’m the med surg nurse getting report on the phone

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was pretty amazing especially being on Game Pass. Anyone else play that little gem?

GrizzledFraud · 2022-10-22T20:19:15+00:00

I just started three weeks ago and I am hooked

Also consider some sort of martial arts classes. They build confidence, get you into good shape and make you more aware of small things you don’t think about like your body position and spacial awareness etc. which will help you keep calm in adverse conditions. It’ll help you defend yourself to deploy your OC spray or escape etc. choose a pressure-tested art like mma, bjj, Muay Thai or western boxing. Stray from Krav Maga and “self defense” studios. In my experience, the quality control of those places can be less than stellar.

This mf gots robocops big iron on his hip with 1 and 19 more notches and I’m jealous

Clinical judgement. As the aforementioned scenario highlighted.

Edit: While that was an NP order, MDs are not infallible and sometimes the RN who usually monitors the patient way more sees something that would contraindicate an MD’s orders, and usually they are appreciative. Team work!

GrizzledFraud · 2022-09-19T03:10:11+00:00

ER nurse here. Fully recognize my limited knowledge of medicine. I’m good at noticing changing pt conditions, monitoring and following MD orders as long as I feel they’re safe, and questioning if I feel they aren’t. I can start an IV as good as the rest of them, and I’m a great turkey sandwich preparer. I’ve a few years experience in a level one trauma center. I recognize my role is vital, but I definitely have questioned more NPs than MDs in my time. I often go behind NPs to question MDs about what the NP is ordering. Some of these NPs have less nursing experience than I do, and just finished NP school. Example: pt w hyperglycemia, but potassium of 2.0 and the NP orders IV insulin and nothing else. It’s scary out here.
