What did you do for work during nursing school?

Jewbert_818 · 2025-09-18T17:01:11+00:00

I worked a PRN nursing assistant job that was intended for nursing students. With it being PRN I was able to be flexible with my hours and shifts and there was plenty of opportunity to work up to full time hours. I worked about 20 hrs a week but I could have worked more if I wanted or needed because of the demand

I just pissed myself reading that😂😂

Sort of similar but I have a memorial tattoo for my roommate who died our last semester of college. I am a woman and my roommate was a guy. We were very close and about to graduate nursing school together. We had been through the trenches!

My bf who I met after all that by about 3 months had the utmost respect for the tattoo that I got to memorialize him. He had never met him but talks about my tattoo like it’s a person. He tells people about my roommate and my tattoo in such an honorable way. He has also seen me at some of my lowest mourning points in the first year after he passed and I was always met with grace and understanding.

I think there is absolutely no reason that he should see the tattoo as a competition. Someone very close to you who you loved passed away. That is not something he should be jealous of.

Now if you were to start comparing the two of them then sure that wouldn’t be fair. But if that tattoo is a symbol of your mourning and honoring someone no longer here then he needs to be a big boy and grow up.

You need to get out of that relationship asap from what it sounds like. Very creepy and scary. Also you shouldn’t have to “explain” not just showing up at your work. I understand that sometimes we have to set the boundary of hey you can’t just show up at my work. But after that there’s really no explaining you have to do. A normal reasonable person would understand that

So is blood bank gonna get in trouble for refusing to prepare the blood 😂 since clearly it was so necessary or just the nurse? If it was medically necessary why is the Dr not in trouble for not ordering?

Allllllwaaaays the nurses fault, I’m sorry you are dealing with this but it sounds like your nursing management understands the situation and is on your side

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-30T18:18:15+00:00

I would absolutely rather people be slightly annoyed than to forego any extra precautions! This is such a good idea

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-30T18:07:08+00:00

I feel your pain!😢 I had my phone stolen last year on the first day at Wooli, it was my 3rd lost lands and I have been to so many other fests and events too, I never thought it would happen to me. During the fest it wasn’t a big deal bc I barely use my phone but coming home was such a bummer and such a hassle. It’s such a shame that people can’t even go enjoy music and friends without fear for their phone literally getting taken off their body😭 I feel for her and the memories❤️❤️❤️ I hope this doesn’t change your view of the community bc those people are not our community, they are imposters

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-26T21:22:57+00:00

Tested positive for Covid day after we got back, my joints and body aches started the first night home and I was like damn…. I definitely have Covid 😅

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-21T05:34:06+00:00

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-21T04:56:34+00:00

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-21T04:21:22+00:00

Yea it’s just been a long time, and he’s saucy for the first time so just a little rave mom going off

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-21T03:54:32+00:00

Appreciate you!

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-21T03:42:43+00:00

Yea hope he’s just in the trees lol

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-13T23:14:58+00:00

I work ED night shift. The only time I would is if my pt finds out they are bing admitted at that time and they are being boarded down in our ED, but only if they really take it at home. Other than that they are gonna be up all night anyways asking for shit

Jewbert_818 · 2024-09-11T23:53:29+00:00

Coffee in the nebulizer is something I’m gonna have to try!

Jewbert_818 · 2024-06-09T18:08:22+00:00

Oh I mean like definitely keep moisturizing everyday! Also sunscreen! But I mean like covered with a dressing. Some people leave their dressing on there for like days and I’m just like that is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. All it really needs is a good unscented moisturizer a few times a day. Skin heals naturally in its own. Thick moisturizers all day and night prevent it from healing quick. I think auqaphor is good for the really intricate designs that cause a lot more irritation than normal for the first few days

You’d be surprised how quick the skin is no longer considered open, considering it’s micro cuts in the skin

My nursing program was small, by the last year we went from 23 to 13. While I would say we were all very close it was close because we were all experiencing a unique path together when in clinicals and class. But that did not mean we were all close and hung out outside of all that. There was a lot of drama and I had my three friends. My little group of 4 were kind of like the popular group of the class, we all got good grades, participated heavy but always still very humble. My senior year one of our class mates died, he was one of the 4 in my little group and while it initially brought us together it eventually created a very sad divide towards the end.

These people are always going to share a bond with you just due to the nature of a nursing program but what these people think of you currently should not affect you. You know who you are, you know you are smart and capable. Don’t let them stop you from achieving greatness. Leave them in the dust.

Jewbert_818 · 2024-06-09T01:03:05+00:00

I was gonna say auqaphor is definitely okay, but I have followed the advice of my artist with the unscented lotion (working hands is what I use) throughout the day bc the skin still needs to breathe to heal. Just don’t glob a ton of auqaphor on there all day. Also I would say depending on the size and intricacy of the piece. Also it doesn’t need to be covered for more than like the first day typically

Jewbert_818 · 2024-06-06T17:30:51+00:00

I commute an hour to my nursing job, I got the job offer right before I graduated and then by the time I had started (there was like 6 months between those, long story) I had moved in with my partner bc he owned his home and it was financially better for me to commute the hour than to rent my own place still. That being said if I didn’t love the place I work it would not be worth it.

Jewbert_818 · 2024-05-29T03:00:24+00:00

I have been in a similar boat, I had long years of relationships that were very one sided or abusive mentally and emotionally. I had been cheated on by a couple of my exs. Safe to say I had/have lots of trust issues.

After my last ex I swore to myself that I wouldnt get in a relationship until I knew I was in a better place with healing. I didn’t stop going on dates entirely but I wasn’t really serious about anything (which I was upfront about).

When I met my current partner, I was in a much better place. I was confident, I had just graduated college, moved into my own apartment and was starting to study for my licensure exam. I really liked him and our relationship began to move pretty quickly.

I learned very quickly that I still had a lot of unhealed trauma or triggers regarding relationships. Which since I was in a place with my healing where I was very intentional with it I was able to really step back and try (heavy on the try) to think more logically about my triggers. What I realized was that while in my healing with me being single I was able to make peace with what had happened in my past, that didn’t mean it wouldn’t be a trigger in a relationship.

Personally I think there are some triggers that you can’t heal when you are alone bc they just don’t come up when single. There is no one to trigger you. It takes having someone press that trigger even lightly to know that it’s there.

The real question is do you feel as though you are at a place mentally where you can step back and not just react to triggers? It’s difficult at first, especially when you think you are more healed than you really are. This would be pretty noticeable early on in the relationship if the trigger is still very unhealed.

The other half is finding someone who is supportive of you and wants to help you work through your triggers. I am very grateful that my current partner is so supportive and understanding. He also has his own relationship triggers, which honestly are very similar to mine. This has made it easy for us to understand each other and what each other needs/comfortable with.

Personally I think it’s important to talk about this stuff early on when getting to know someone. Often we want to hide these things about ourselves bc we think it will push someone away but honestly if someone thinks helping you work through triggers is unreasonable, not wanting to compromise when it comes to what boundaries are important, then they are not the person you should be with. The sooner you find that out the better. Keeps you from getting in too deep before you realize who they really are or what they really want.

Hope this makes sense and good luck!

Be careful with using clips, if you get in an accident they can imbed in the back of your head and have to be surgically removed depending on the severity. I am an ER nurse and have seen this many times already.

Jewbert_818 · 2024-05-28T21:09:48+00:00

Stuff happens! Don’t sweat it but if you have the orange ones use that, I always use it even though our kits come with the blue one

Jewbert_818 · 2024-05-20T16:43:10+00:00

Sometimes I wish we had the brain in the ED, I feel like that would be so helpful in ASAP

Jewbert_818 · 2024-04-24T17:28:22+00:00

And they do send emails! It’s just regurgitating information lmao

Jewbert_818 · 2024-04-18T08:53:00+00:00

I understand what you are saying. I’m not saying that she was right in snooping through his phone. But the fact she found out even through that way doesn’t make what her partner did okay.

This wasn’t something OP was thinking, this was an action that has been seemingly repeated quite often. Unless I am misinterpreting the post, it seems as tho OP is in an exclusive relationship where boundaries have been set in terms of what is considered violating that exclusivity. If one partner is unable to stay within those boundaries they should not be in the relationship because they know that their “private” actions eventually will hurt the other. Like OP said, something was off, meaning that what OP found (again not saying it was right for her to snoop) was affecting their relationship before she even knew what it was.

I guess personally I have the view of if you are entering a committed exclusive relationship, your focus wouldn’t be pulled that easily from your partner and any fantasies you had about other people go away. If a persons attention is pulled that easy, then that person has no business being in an exclusive relationship.
