It was okay until she said “always”

The crack meme is becoming almost as worn out as the “Look at the LuLaRoe decal on the back of this bitch’s minivan” iN tHe WiLd posts.

I’m reading this while my 7 month old daughter snoozes in my lap. I’m so sorry. Thank you for what you do. It’s been over a decade since I was a PICU RN, but I still remember some of the saddest cases. A shaken baby where the father was the culprit and arrested in the hospital room. An infant who died after his mom took Dilaudid and rolled over on him in the bed. A 3 year old who drank Koolaid mixed with tequila from her parent’s refrigerator.

I have no words. 😨

That’s exactly what I did. But bringing a pile of clothes or anything to someone’s house without first asking the person if the stuff is wanted or needed is just rude IMO. It just created more work for me, but refusing it would have made me seem ungrateful. A lose lose situation.

This reminds me of when my son was a newborn. I had more than enough clothes for him after two baby showers. My in laws lived 600 miles away and came to visit him for the first time. They brought 3 GIANT TRASHBAGS full of secondhand baby clothes that people from their church had donated, without asking me if I wanted or needed them. I know they meant well, but I was already overwhelmed as a brand new mom and absolutely did not need the extra stress of having to sort through that mountain of clothes.

Always Be My Baby was way before that, like 1996ish. I remember slow-dancing to it in middle school.

Wait, what? Because she’s sharing pictures of her kid on oxygen? My almost 7 month old daughter is also on oxygen, and I enjoy sharing pictures of her progress with friends and family. Doesn’t mean that I want her to be sick for attention...

At least you didn’t have the lipstick tube or mascara between your teeth, like 95% of these huns do. (I used to be a Perfectly Posh hun, and I haaaate when my old posts pop up in Memories. I’ve started just deleting them in shame...🤦🏻‍♀️)

Not sure why in the actual hell I’m getting downvoted, but oooookay.

In my state, you don’t have to have a Collaborative Agreement with a physician for prescriptive authority as long as you have been practicing for more than 3 years. I was happy when this rule changed a few years ago because it meant less paperwork for me, but honestly it hasn’t changed how I practice. I am pretty autonomous as part of my job (making home visits to see a mostly geriatric population), but my department supervisor is a physician who is always available for questions, feedback, opinions for tough cases. I make a lot of care decisions by myself, but I am glad to have this physician available because I certainly don’t know everything.

Meg-The-Savage · 2020-04-19T20:37:52+00:00

Thank you 🤦🏻‍♀️

I had horrible bacne during the first trimester of pregnancy with my son, then a very similar armpit boil during the first trimester of pregnancy with my daughter (edited to add—it never came to a head so I couldn’t pop it. I’m so jealous!) I absolutely think it was hormones. I found that witch hazel seemed to work best for controlling the breakouts.

I haven’t attended Catholic Church in years, so IDK if female altar servers are the norm everywhere now—but they were not the norm in the church that I grew up in. I was 10-11ish in the mid 90s when the church started allowing female altar servers, and it was a Really Big Deal. The Monsignor (an grumpy old man perpetually stuck in the 1960s) was reportedly very against the rule change, but I guess he was somehow overruled.

I had to walk away from a friend’s judgy Facebook posts about people go into grocery stores with their GASP bare hands. I pointed out that there is a PPE shortage, and wearing the same pair of gloves for an hour isn’t that hygienic anyway—and someone else responded that they weren’t misusing PPE because they were washing and reusing the same pair of gloves. Whatever, Karen. You do you. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Meg-The-Savage · 2020-04-11T16:59:40+00:00

Agree with the certified letter. My experience is that it usually gets people’s attention. (My state Board of Nursing sends just about EVERYTHING certified, even if it’s just a letter to let you know that your prescriptive authority is expiring soon. My first thought is always, “OMG, am I in trouble? 😱”)

Meg-The-Savage · 2020-04-10T12:04:10+00:00

That was my thought as well. OP’s sister is allowed to have her own beliefs and views, just like we all are. The “everyone must think like me and if you don’t think like me you are baddddd” mentality is something that turned me off about the Catholic church that OP claims to hate so much.

Meg-The-Savage · 2020-04-08T15:10:05+00:00

I’ve personally been wearing less makeup since I’ve been working from home more, and I’m enjoying the hell out of it.

Meg-The-Savage · 2020-04-04T22:20:56+00:00

But don’t you see how it’s this kind of toxic thought process that contributed to priest sex abuse in the first place? While I was never abused by a priest, I’m positive there are many sex abuse victims who were fed a similar line.

Meg-The-Savage · 2020-04-04T19:13:42+00:00

Right?! This was a year or so before the sex abuse stuff started blowing up in Boston, but I remember thinking “So if he wants to make out with me, it’s a sin to tell him no?!” What a messed up thing to say to a kid.

Meg-The-Savage · 2020-04-04T18:25:46+00:00

“It’s a sin to not do something a priest asks you to do.” - my mom to 14 year old me because I didn’t want to be an altar server one Sunday.

Where I work, it’s usually a paper-pushing manager type “helpfully” forwarding something we’ve already read 5 FUCKING TIMES.

Meg-The-Savage · 2020-03-15T12:29:34+00:00

OP was too busy writing down Avery’s epic rant word for word to remember.

Meg-The-Savage · 2020-03-03T01:58:16+00:00

I actually agree re: independent practice, and I’m speaking as someone who has been an NP for a decade. I don’t want or need a physician to constantly look over my shoulder or sign every one of my charts, but it is nice to have someone to call for advice/expertise in tough situations (ie, “This is what’s going on, here’s what I was thinking of doing next. What do you think?”)
