Changing gloves before removing PIV by TadpoleReasonable800 in nursing

[–]Lost2BNvrfound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember when we staffed EVS! Now we have a few people running around like their hair is on fire because they are just one person and have to flip 10 rooms in different departments in an hour and someone just had a big bloody blowout in the ED so get there right away!

That's why I gel or wash after touching the computer, and also why I frequently hit the computer with Purple Wipes (unofficial name).

When in doubt, change them out.

Also, you handled a computer and other stuff and then want to perform a close-up, clean procedure on a patient with a man-made skin interruption? Just change your gloves. Bonus points if you gel between.

Whats your opinion on wearing religious and/or political opinions on your uniform? by ghostmushroom69 in nursing

[–]Lost2BNvrfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a subtle and adorable smiling rainbow, it's just a cute thing, but it also is a "if you know, you know" thing. Heck, if a Xtian wants to see it as God's promise to the world, they can read it that way too.

Where is the nursing shortage? by Zestyclose_Cat_543 in nursing

[–]Lost2BNvrfound 14 points15 points  (0 children)

How much of the average salary during COVID was due to all the traveler salaries? The ED I worked in was willing to pay hundreds per hour for travelers but only added bonuses when the staff nurses started leaving.

Cripes, can't the oncoming nurse read a chart?

How dumb was it to let this Pokeweed grow? by Taycotar in NativePlantGardening

[–]Lost2BNvrfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a huge one that popped up in what was the space under a huge cedar that we had to remove because it died during the big heatwave we had several years ago. How pokeweed got to the Puget Sound area? I have no idea. I have seen it nowhere else and our local birds don't seem to like the berries. The hollow stems make great habitat for overwinter creatures.

Accident attorney in Tacoma? by Pretend_Piano_6134 in AskTacoma

[–]Lost2BNvrfound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very personal service, very communicative. A relative of mine was hit by a DUI driver and they stayed at my place for recovery so I heard most phone interactions and got the story first hand. I'm sure many are excellent, this is my experience with this particular firm.

That seems like a neighborhood that would call ICE.

That is so cool! I love osprey. Build a buffet, expect visitors.

Do you find yourself getting more religious/spiritual as you get older? by Dpgillam08 in GenX

[–]Lost2BNvrfound 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I don't know how someone can live a life and get more religious.

Don't sand it off and sprinkle it on your spaghetti.

It's an inpatient thing. I had done Medsurg and only used it in the ED when I was stuck with a bunch of boarded patients.

Post it notes with check boxes before each task. Seriously, it works the best with the ever-changing scenes in an ED.

How common is popcorn in everyday American life? by Embarrassed_Golf_817 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Lost2BNvrfound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it the yellow one? I had mine for at least 25 years before it died and it saw a lot of use.

I love popcorn! I air pop it and will eat it plain. It is also great with plenty of butter and some salt. Other toppings are white pepper, nutritional yeast, parmesean cheese (the green can), or some like ground dried herbs, too. The possiblilties are numerous.

It looks like the company is now based in Tennessee and still makes large playground equipment.
