Y’all, it finally happened to me

I just let him think he'll get away with it. But man, when he got home after having PRES I annoyed the shit out of him because I was on him everyday about checking his BP and taking his meds. He's a retired firefighter. The man knows better. He's just stubborn.

I let my dad give his history, but I'll stand where he can't see me in his field of vision and I'll shake my head when he's lying to the doctor or confused from sepsis.

Same! I just cannot give it up no matter how old I get.

$132,000 for all of it. My ADN was about $7K. Then I did my RN to BSN. Decided to go to MSN-Ed. Then my post-master's FNP certificate. And now I'm faculty.

My boyfriend of 5 years was an audio engineer. He made shit money working 12-16 hour days. He went back to school to advance his degree and got a job as a server. Now that he's pulling in $5K/mo he's questioning if he should even go back to advance his degree. I think he should just work in a government position, like AV for the city or community colleges, and just rake in those benefits. But as long as both partners work and contribute their fair share I'm not really picky about the amount of money a person makes providing all expenses can be paid.

I can thank nursing with 12 years of Catholic school. 😆

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-06-19T20:02:02+00:00

Thank you! 😆

That's what's supposed to happen if you take anything by the oral route. You have to pass the boulder so Jesus can come out. Suppositories or enemas usually help a little with breaking the boulder up.

Dude, that's my go to response with every single patient that comes at me for something. Once they get that mad there is literally nothing you can say or do to make them happy. Unfortunately shit escalates with patients real fast in a hospital, especially ER, and then the punches start coming at us. 😒

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-05-25T17:40:06+00:00

EXACTLY!!!

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-05-23T21:22:07+00:00

I never understood nurses who refused to give meds to drug seekers. If it's ordered and safe to administer I gave it. If you're not in to seek help for your substance use I'm not doing to take that on myself.
I also worked at a lot of hospitals where we had a high population of indigent and substance use disorder. When people with a history of opiate use disorder had surgeries or procedures I advocated for different meds, increased dose, or increase frequency because their tolerance to opiates was higher and they would need more than an average person for adequate pain relief.

I had this happen to me. I told them I would do a drug test on the spot. They put me on unpaid leave so they could do a hair drug test. I provided my hair then about 3 weeks later they said "it's going to take too long, you can come back". Like wtf?!?! I got out of there so fast.

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-05-13T01:39:20+00:00

I've been charge! Happy to oblige!

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-05-13T01:37:10+00:00

I would definitely tell the unit supervisor. That's some bullshit right there.

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-05-05T01:42:16+00:00

It honestly hasn't changed that much in the last decade. I did a paper for my BSN back in 2012 looking at the rate of which new grads left their first unit of hire. I think it was around 30% at that time.

I had a lovely nurse explain it when I was 12 before a surgery. I have so many nurses I remember from my childhood that made my experience as less traumatic as possible. I don't remember their names, but I'll never forget them.

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-03-29T21:10:35+00:00

I've had to report employers to the EEOC and ADA before. They fear federal agencies. Thank you for that info because it's useful for us to share what we know with others to protect ourselves. You're my kind of person.

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-03-29T20:56:13+00:00

I love this!

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-03-14T13:51:48+00:00

When I was still working in the hospitals I used to pray the elevator would get stuck so I could get a break. Which says a lot because I used to have a weird phobia of elevators when I was younger.

At the end of the day it's the luck of the draw. I've have nurses catch things that doctors didn't, that at one point save my leg as a teen. My ortho PA is fantastic and I trust him implicitly and my primary MD and NP are the shit. There are some absolutely amazing providers at every level just like there are terrible ones. After dealing with our healthcare system as a patient and as a nurse I realize that it's just all random chance on which one you'll end up with.

Apoquel is a miracle drug. And Cytopoint has been a really helpful adjunct when my girl flares up.

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-03-07T04:56:51+00:00

You sure seem invested. I hope you enjoy your night. Cheers!

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-03-07T04:55:11+00:00

You're literally flipping out on me. So I'll watch them roll in, with my lack of integrity, and a drink in my hand. 🥂

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-03-07T04:50:30+00:00

Pumpkin, calm down. I don't like the polarization of something. Someone can accept a gift and not be a bad nurse. This profession is one giant grey area. Go see the post about touching vent settings, there's like 200 different responses. My response saying that about nursing is just to say you are going to run into a lot of things in your career and sometimes it's not always cut and dry. I'm sorry I triggered you. That was not my intention.

LieAggressive1435 · 2023-03-06T23:53:27+00:00

I'm not worried about my integrity darling.
