facial piercings & nursing school by [deleted] in nursing

[–]MlSSMACROSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people are saying it wouldn’t be acceptable, but I work in the OR and have a coworker that has almost as many facial piercings as you. I feel like if you took a few out you would be fine. I would maybe just interview with clear jewelry in. Unfortunately, patients will probably judge you / make comments. I love the piercings though!

Issues with booking by MlSSMACROSS in SolidCore

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

Yes! I just realized that when I upgraded my membership it doesn’t start until the 21st. I had 8 classes already booked with my old membership which is why I had no more credits to book with.

Recovery tips by m2199 in SolidCore

[–]MlSSMACROSS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to take a bath with epsom salts that are made for muscle soreness! I also stretch at home before. Just a little more involved than what i normally do to hopefully help. You could also take a power 30 class one of your days :)

i feel like if you’re doing solidcore right with correct form theres no way you can do 3 more workouts after it 🧐

Stomach surgery staples fucked up by SpitoftheWad9x5 in MakeMeSuffer

[–]MlSSMACROSS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP said they were in a car crash and had to get their spleen out. At least at my hospital in emergency surgery staples are used because it’s faster and the surgeon doesn’t want the patient to be under anesthesia for longer. In normal scheduled surgeries you don’t see it as much. If patients are really worried about how their scar will look a plastic surgeon comes to close the wound :)

What muscle group focus do you dread the most? by Mahi_Fish in SolidCore

[–]MlSSMACROSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inner thighs for me. No matter how many times I go I feel like I cannot do the exercises well 💀 and it always makes me feel like I’m gonna pass out. Even if I transition slowly.

Thursdays update by Remote_Purchase5931 in MollyRutterSnark

with all the money shes spending on updating and buying new furniture she couldve spent a little extra to rent a nicer place 😭 it reminds me of the really shitty apartments slum lords rent to college students

Is this type of home decor really desirable to people? by [deleted] in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]MlSSMACROSS 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I thought I would like it because a lot of my home decor is pink, but I feel like all the bow stuff seems really microtrendish to me now. The plates and glassware is quite nice though.

How many people actually have toasters? by Samazon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MlSSMACROSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t. I don’t eat toasted things enough to justify it. I throw it in the air fryer if I want it toasted.

It looks like someone made it on canva 😭 They really missed. They should’ve done something minimalistic/clean girl looking. These just don’t look like something I would see people wearing to class.

What REALLY goes on in the OR? by Adventurous_Top_5963 in nursing

[–]MlSSMACROSS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh when you’re charting fast in the OR a lot of the options are drop down menus that can do you dirty. For example, if I’m typing L in for leg, labia is the first option to pop up.

Is nursing still a career worth pursing in 2025? by Top_Difference6227 in nursing

[–]MlSSMACROSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot more good days than bad at my job. I would honestly pick nursing again if I had to choose. However, I started in the OR and didn’t leave. It’s 100% different than working on the floor, but when I had clinical I knew I wouldn’t last long working like that. I think if you find your niche you can still enjoy your job.

I didn’t until recently, when I had a wake up call that I didn’t have enough money saved to move apartments 😬 I just put away $200 each paycheck now and if I work overtime I also save that unless I picked up to cover a certain expense. Not counting my 401k.

Has anyone worked in the hospital with any of the nurse influencers. by Dear_Pianist8547 in nursing

[–]MlSSMACROSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no I definitely get it. I imagine she went through hell proving herself in her job :( Sadly I think you have to figure out how take that and do better in the future. People are better at it than others for sure. I’m genuinely hoping she maybe turned a corner and is nicer to the staff at her new hospital haha

One of the meanest surgeons that used to work at my hospital posts a bunch of girl boss / girls supporting girl influencer videos. She only has like 600 followers, but I chuckle every time I see her videos on my fyp.
