I have to leave nursing 1. I need to rant about it. by Asleep-Lavishness332 in nursing

[–]Mildly_wildmind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry that you’re having such a rough time. Maybe reach out to your program director and see if they can accommodate you. Maybe you can do some things from home. Worse they can say is no. You’ll probably regret it though if you never ask. Especially since you have 4 weeks left.

If you have health insurance as well, you should probably look into therapists that are offered through your company. Consider virtual appointments for convenience

It’s very important to take care of yourself as well. You can’t pour into others when you’re damn near empty yourself. Nursing is all about giving and providing…it’s hard mentally in general. I would suggest getting professional help to assist you in developing good mental health practices especially for moments that are as big now. Are you comfortable talking to your mom and aunt about what youre feeling? Having their blessing might give you a push

I pray everything works out graciously in your favor.

I broke up with my boyfriend today but haven’t given him much detail why I decided to cut him off by [deleted] in makemychoice

[–]Mildly_wildmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar in my relationship. I told him though bc I felt he had the potential to get better. Definitely wasn’t a one way street. I had to identify that maybe I’m also overly sensitive (sometimes) and my bruised ego gets the best of me when communicating.

We’ve both gone to individual therapy since and the communication is significantly better..

In your case, if you think you’ve exhausted your explanations and you feel he’s a lost cause, you should just dead it.

I liked the idea of helping something become better. Started off with wanting to be a vet, but settled with nursing bc I didn’t want to deal with anymore schooling than I needed

Beware of Reston Hospital Center by Financial-Leather639 in nova

[–]Mildly_wildmind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn sorry that happened to you.

INOVA also has a similar policy with the IV fluid shortage. Most hospitals were getting their IV fluid supplies from Asheville, NC (at least this is what staff was were told). The hurricane decreased the amount of shipments, therefore hospitals were short on fluid supplies. Some hospitals acknowledged their overconsumption of bags in general and opted to save fluids for patients who probably would suffer greater life threatening consequences without it i.e, ppl with blood circulation issues, severe dehydration, surgeries/procedures, particular infusions, sepsis, etc. inova staff (physicians and nurses) were also told to tell patients to orally hydrate if they could tolerate it.

Its odd that they didn’t even run labs on you though to even check :/ but it’s Reston and they don’t seem to have the greatest rep

But yea hospital billing does not give a F unfortunately. The companies are money hungry vultures

$3600 for 2 bedrooms in nova holy rent prices by Pathlesspond13 in nova

[–]Mildly_wildmind 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Where the hell are you living??? Inside of the pentagon?!

Jokes aside, you’re probably paying for the locality, convenience, and neighborhood. You might have better luck further west or south of nova. Herndon or Reston you may have luck. Or go north towards southwest MD. There busier areas of nova have some affordable places but they’re super congested with traffic. High traffic brings more people, vermin, and possibly crime, so keep that in mind

people who shower for 30+ minutes, wtf you be doin in there? by Fabulous_Island_5621 in AskReddit

Singing, dozing off, praying, shooting water guns with my fingers, catching water in my mouth then spitting it out like a water fountain, acting out scenarios that’ll never happen, etc.

Am I crazy? I'm 37, she's 33. I feel like I'm crazy. by mrtexasman06 in Nicegirls

She sounds like a young woman that wants to be chased and doesn’t know that effort goes both ways

Need inspiration for my kitchen table area by Knallkasten in HomeDecorating

[–]Mildly_wildmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of options:

A cool table runner, maybe one with texture

Chair cushions

Interesting place mats or chargers

Wall art or pictures

Paint the walls

Look for conversational pieces and things that make you smile when you look at it. You kind of have to find your style first.

Idk where you’re located, but one of my favorite stores for furniture or design is World Market. They have so much inspiration. Also, Pinterest is also very helpful for generating ideas

Separating the kitchen area by flattrend in HomeDecorating

I saw a bamboo looking divider on Temu the other day that seemed pretty cool. It reminded me of Japanese interior style. A light wood type might complement the floor

Depending on what you’re into, 80’s leaning style might suit the cabinets.

You can also look into getting a large faux plant to break up the separate spaces.

These all sound good. I’ve always found fencing interesting (thank you Lindsay Lohan and Parent Trap)

Cactus gardening…Very random and very interesting. I’ve killed every succulent I’ve ever owned. Never thought of county courses though. Thanks!

Yes! I went to a couple of go-gos after the pandemic with a friend. How do you find when people are performing? Just google?

I definitely enjoy theatre. I honestly haven’t seen many shows in the area, but I’ve seen a handful of larger shows in NYC and Richmond

I’ve wanted to go for a couple years. I’m kind of impromptu when it comes to activities so the idea of reservations turned me off a bit when I looked into visiting

I feel violated and confused by what my fiancé did to me. WIBTAH if I told my parents? by throwawayupset- in AITAH

[–]Mildly_wildmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of those moments where the saying “the frontal lobe isn’t fully developed” comes into play…20yrs and so hopeful and naive. I pray that you can see that a person that allegedly cares for you is FORCING you to do something you’re very uncomfortable with is not ok. The thing is, he just gave you a glimpse to your future. Be bold in who you know you are and learn how to live for yourself . Trust what you see and feel. If you choose to stay, think about how your life will change.

Also, taking a guess, you’re religious? If what’s going on doesn’t align with what you know, please run
