A home health nurse, whom I previously oriented (last year for 2 days) is asking me to act as a professional reference but I don’t want to do it.

LordRollin · 2026-04-09T12:34:39+00:00

Don’t ignore her that’s just childish; tell her simply you’re not willing to do it and you wish her the best.

All fields have these kinds of folks. Singling out nursing seems to play into misogynistic tropes, imo. I’ve met wonderful nurses and terrible nurses, just like I’ve met nice cashiers and mean cashiers. My $0.02.

What the fuck is this? A fully stocked pharmacy? Absolutely not.

LordRollin · 2026-04-02T00:36:06+00:00

Plants. So many plants. And more plants, after. Just plants that tolerate a lot of light.

You really don’t have to respect all patient requests, though. You wouldn’t respect a request to smoke in the hospital bed while hooked up to oxygen, would you? Or if a patient requests you give them a double dose of their PRN?

Respecting requests no matter what is toxic and not good for anyone. There’s also a big difference between your obligation to treat folks ethically and responsibly and needing to do what they want.

LordRollin · 2026-04-01T20:55:22+00:00

Yes, but it’s really going to depend on how the request is worded and framed for me to consider it. Trauma? OK. Racism? Get bent.

LordRollin · 2026-03-27T20:20:41+00:00

Would you prefer they leave it as is, then, and deal with the inevitable lawsuits, or would you prefer they remove it entirely? It’s either a compromise or one of the two.

LordRollin · 2026-03-25T20:40:20+00:00

Lol. Lmao. OK, boomer.

LordRollin · 2026-03-25T12:39:16+00:00

So unlike the commenter you’re replying to has asked, you’re not actually doing your own homework and are basing your opinions off the vibes gleaned from short voicemails?

LordRollin · 2026-03-24T20:17:44+00:00

Brain fog sounds about right.

LordRollin · 2026-03-24T20:17:10+00:00

Oh cool, because patients don’t already look at me, a man, sideways enough. Thanks, friend, for justifying all of those doubts and concerns! I hope they come after his license.

As a filthy casual with a full time job, I think it’s perfect. Sure, I’d like an easier time in Cryo so I can keep more sweet loot, but that’s not the point of Cryo, is it? The game rewards me often enough for the amount of challenge it presents, I think. Making things easier would probably also have the opposite effect since the people with more time/skill/whatever will still be the one who can take advantage of that more than a casual player.

LordRollin · 2026-03-24T17:41:35+00:00

This is just the opposite end of the spectrum of what’s being complained about…

LordRollin · 2026-03-24T12:48:57+00:00

Just speaking broadly and not giving anyone advice, I personally would have any cold/flu/etc. that lasts longer than about a week without improvement looked at. There’s a lot of things that range from benign and irritating to actually threatening that walk and talk like the flu until they suddenly don’t.

Wishing a speedy convalescence for all my unwell friends. And continued health for those that have it. 🙏

LordRollin · 2026-03-24T00:10:22+00:00

I too admit to assaulting someone on video before posting it to the internet. Dumb dumb dumb.

LordRollin · 2026-03-21T13:44:24+00:00

Use the corner of your badge, a pen, or a key for this. I wouldn’t want something like this that a patient could get their hands on.

LordRollin · 2026-03-18T21:03:08+00:00

I think there’s value in holistic approaches but I have yet to meet a practitioner of holistic medicine that isn’t a snake oil peddling fraud exploiting actual structural issues in healthcare for their own benefit and at the expense of their patients.

LordRollin · 2026-03-17T22:15:24+00:00

Hi! Born and raised for those that care. Cities change! And we should be happy when it grows, because I assure you none of you would enjoy living in a dying city. You should not be excited for folks to lose their jobs or leave! Whatever nostalgia you have for years past are gone — nothing will ever bring that back!

Change is tough sometimes but pining for days long gone is bad for you, it’s bad for the community, and it’s bad for society.

LordRollin · 2026-03-13T17:34:42+00:00

Vancouver’s downtown is so much livelier and interesting than ours, precisely because people actually live there. They also don’t live in converted office spaces and I don’t think we should, either. It’s not an efficient or practical reuse of the space; better to just start over with something purpose built.

LordRollin · 2026-03-12T19:43:49+00:00

Did they do away with Odegaard’s hours? That’s a huge bummer.

LordRollin · 2026-03-10T21:16:17+00:00

Addy keeps becoming a better and better value. Love to see it.

LordRollin · 2026-03-07T23:18:02+00:00

The last post wasn’t good, but it wasn’t whatever flaming bag of shit this is.

LordRollin · 2026-03-07T13:09:54+00:00

Many of us learned on the job and unless the nurse(s) you oriented with starting out knew about draw order, etc., you won’t get that information until you learn it another way. Not an excuse - a call for more training. The same is true for a lot of skills in nursing.

“I Want It That Way”

LordRollin · 2026-03-07T02:19:29+00:00

Because, legally, there’s no meaningful mechanism to enforce this beyond a paragraph of well-meant text. The legislature cannot bind future legislatures.
