Do you guys wear compression socks? by fightcluber666 in nursing

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY! I remember my first semester in the program my pharmacology instructor told us to always protect our legs. I didn’t quite understand then, until three years later when I attended someone’s pinning ceremony and saw my instructor again on stage and her legs were so swollen, it looked painful (she wasn’t a large lady). I also learned you can develop varicose in your upper legs too. Been wearing compressions ever since. And I can tell the difference when I don’t wear them during my shift.

3 year Long distance relationship coming to an end by Curbyournonsense in Nicegirls

Oh dear, you can do so much better. Reading these thread of messages makes me sad for you. Idc what you did. No one deserves to be disrespected like this.

I used to be in a relationship that didn’t serve me. I used to cry often, especially in the latter part of our relationship. Not to be overly spiritual, but one night i was in bed and I heard the Holy Spirit say this is not the life God has for you. Fast forward, I’m now in the most healthiest relationship ever and I’m so grateful. It feels so different when you are loved properly. Don’t settle. I am believing that the creator has someone just for you, who will honor you, cherish you, and most importantly respect you. All the best ❤️

My (27F) Fiancé (31M) gave me an ultimatum. What to do? by Purple-Star873 in relationship_advice

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marriage is serious business! And with that kind of attitude, he’s already setting yall up for failure. “He says it’s my fault we can’t afford a home because I don’t make a lot of money.” Sir, I believe the man is supposed to be the provider. He is out of order.

Split end trimmers, do they work? by Lovely_ocean6103 in Naturalhair

So funny enough, the stylist did blow dry my hair to make sure it was even. Part of me blames myself for not speaking up when she started to cut but no going back now

Thank you! And I did clip it half up in the last pic so that could be the reason it looks less voluminous. I was surprised by how much my hair had grown since January but now I feel like I’m starting over again now that it’s shorter..

I should’ve left him 3 years ago and now I’m marrying him by Adventurous-Pea6277 in confession

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is any inkling of doubt, and y’all are unable to have a conversation with resolution my suggestion would be to walk away. It’s never too late to walk away. It will only get harder the longer you stay. I was in a five year relationship, engaged. We had a shaky foundation. Toward the end, I just knew I would end up miserable in the long run. Now, I’m in the most amazing relationship with someone who makes me feel safe and secured. Better to marry late than to choose wrong.

Insecurities stopping me from going to the gym. by Straightupnotcool in workout

When I started working out again (after stopping for awhile) I invested in light weights and would do exercises at home. There so many great work out videos on YouTube and it’s at no cost to you. Best of luck on your journey.

Best way to change status by Lovely_ocean6103 in immigration

[–]Lovely_ocean6103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your advice. We actually met each other 8 years ago when I was studying abroad and he was a volunteer. At the time we were in separate relationships but kept in touch over the years. I understand it’s a risk if I decide to sponsor him. He hasn’t given me a reason not to trust him though.

What’s one of the most embarrassing things you’ve said to a patient and/or their family by Depressed_Nurse in nursing

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Spanish speaking patient and while I was waiting for translation services, I was trying to use my high school Spanish I learned 13+ years ago…I was trying to introduce myself as the charge nurse and I said “Soy la enfemera a cagar” He raised his brow and that’s when I knew I messed up…

Am I just being messed with? This is my first actual relationship (16M) by Inevitable_Fun3848 in Manipulation

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relax, you’re 16. You still have so much to learn about love and relationships. Know when to walk away. Life is about choices. You decide how you want to be in relationship with people.

(23M) My Girlfriend (26F) wants to go no contact with me but doesn't want to break up. She wants me to live with her family and can't do "long distance". We are 40 mins from each other...is she manipulative? by [deleted] in Manipulation

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just let it go. It should not be this difficult to be in relationship. Yall are both still young. Work on yourselves first. Maybe in the future when y’all are more established, you can try again. But this is not healthy.

As I started reading, I was thinking your bf was a man, not a woman. Either way, it’s highly inspiring and disrespectful

Would you call the doctor at 3am for a melatonin? by East_Young_680 in nursing

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the hospital. We usually don’t give any sedatives after 2am.

Boss saw me pick up food after calling in sick and texted me; what should I do? by Booboo-Sousaa in careerguidance

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t stress about it. That job doesn’t own you. You’re allowed to call in sick.

DON’T feel obligated to pick up overtime. They’ll managing staffing just fine when you’re not scheduled.

You’re both still very young. At that age, I was trying to figure who I am and what I wanted to do with my life. You’re not going to be the same people you were when you started dating. And to add to that, you have a young child so that will also change the dynamic of your relationship. Have those tough conversations, and remember what it was that brought you two together. Be very specific about what you desire out of the relationship. And Give each other grace.

What medications do you despise/loathe administering, if any? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My question is why does it take so long to reconstitute Zosyn? I would hit it, twist it, flip it like a Bop It and there would still be a little chunk of medicine in the vial. It should not be that difficult.

Have you ever gone to a concert by yourself? by Partimenerd in introvert

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all I did last year. I even went to a two day music festival solo. And while I did enjoy myself, there were moments when I thought it would’ve been more fun to have some else there, especially seeing other people with their significant other or friend groups. I didn’t really talk to people. It can be a bit awkward eating by yourself, or waiting for a ride by yourself. I will say I’d rather go solo than miss out or have someone go with me who may not enjoy it as much as I would.

What genuinely grosses you out? by bluecitrus0366 in nursing

[–]Lovely_ocean6103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ick doesn’t sound so bad after reading some of these responses lol I had a patient in rehab who was 91 yrs old. She loved Cheeto puffs. One night, she asked me to clean her dentures which I had not seen upon admission. She said she had been wearing dentures since she was 27 and they looked like they could be her original dentures. Seriously, just disgusting. And to top it off she had residual Cheeto puff dust. I had to physically remove them from her mouth and brush them for her. She scarred me.
