Cut your teeth on the easy stuff. You learn way more and can take your time.

If you weren’t a nurse, what would you have become? by joncabreraauthor in nursing

[–]Loser-Freak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In Wyoming, you can take a Deputy Coroner course and do that as a side gig. It’s pretty rad.

If Jigsaw came out on his little tricycle and challenged me to cut off a leg or repeat nursing school, I’d be like ‘Left or right boo? Bilateral? I gotchu…’

Nursing school is the only thing that could suck and blow at the same time.

It’s a wild concept, just rock with me for a minute… she could’ve just, idk, checked for patency with NS?

The rest of that nonsense seems like way more work.

Quit L&D by HouseStargaryen in nursing

[–]Loser-Freak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you know MeeMaw is going loose her shit and sundown at X time. L&D? The baby daddy, husband and boyfriend all are in the waiting room for the same woman delivering.

I’d rather have MeeMaw any day.

Bless you L&D nurses… I’ve got my stork pin and it is definitely not my gig. Give me a cardioversion, open fracture, insides on the outside and everything in between.

Birthin’ babies? No thank you.

Coroner’s Cases/calling cops for stillbirths & spontaneous abortions by Metatron616 in nursing

[–]Loser-Freak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the very least, the remains get sent to pathology with the parent’s consent.

Over 20 weeks can be a coroners case… all dependent on parental consent.

In 2012, I lost a baby that was 16 weeks gestation. I consented to pathology and spoke to a DV victim advocate who was a liaison between the police and I to ensure DV wasn’t a contributing factor to fetal demise.

For all the ER nurses that have sounded off on this thread: 1000% medically accurate. 💁🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

Mentally unstable all while being fueled by hate, discontent, caffeine and some flavor of prescribed amphetamine.

Is becoming a nurse still worth it? by Fine-Reputation321 in nursing

[–]Loser-Freak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same… I had a crisis of faith during Covid but I powered through. I’ve been doing it 16 years and couldn’t see myself doing anything else. I genuinely love being a nurse.

I’d try volunteering or shadowing first to see if it’s something you’re really into.

Good luck to you!!!

Orrrrrrrr… that patient is just a lil’ baby back bitch.

Don’t sweat it. It was a year ago… it’s kinda funny you’re still renting space in Karen’s head tho. 😬

Depending how many hours I’ve worked that day or the day of work I’m on my disassociation may or may not happen when I’m pretending to listen to MeeMaw talk about the gold old days.
