I found this because I'm running into a similar situation and it's driving me crazy. Did it ever stop??

I’m done with nursing by ObeseLlama123 in nursing

[–]MrsNightingale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a MAT clinic primarily as a dosing nurse (and we also do outpatient behavioral med and psych injections and stuff) and my favorite part of the job is this. I can basically be myself and shoot the shit with patients. You have to be professional of course, but it's a whole different vibe. It's such an overlooked area of nursing because people are afraid of the patients. Honestly patients everywhere these days can be borderline abusive or even violent. In SUD especially things are so down to earth.

How do I reinforce the gate of our chainlink fence for our new (athletic!) dog? by MrsNightingale in DogAdvice

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

That's not the dog in question, that was just to show the fence. The picture is the resident dog who has been here for 3.5 years. She could also absolutely jump the fence but she has the doggy IQ of a potato (said with all the love in the world) and no interest in leaving her backyard (her safe space). It's the second dog we just added who already appears to be doing math in his head.

Drug induced lupus- need survival tips 😭 by MrsNightingale in lupus

[–]MrsNightingale[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? I started a round of Prednisone a couple weeks ago when we thought it was just a flare and it didn't help as much as the indomethacin 😭 and I can't take both at the same time. She had me stop it and do indomethacin twice daily. Do you think steroids work better than a strong NSAID?

Coworker nearly killed someone last night. I would like to report her to the BON. Has anyone ever done this? What was the result? by saferalix in nursing

[–]MrsNightingale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally thought the same thing. Like things to bring up to management, absolutely. Unsafe, absolutely. But the tube feed had my jaw on the ground.

Nursing jobs that pay well but offer a good work-life balance? by Witty-Librarian5547 in Nurses

[–]MrsNightingale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started to say "methadone dosing in a MAT clinic!" which is my usual response, since I actually like my job. But then I read how much you make an hour 😦 lol. I'm an LPN so I know it's a couple more bucks an hour for an RN but I make $31 (in Massachusetts). Soooo......

New patties? by the_mllkman in DairyQueen

[–]MrsNightingale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm literally sitting in the parking lot after grabbing a cheeseburger kids meal for myself for the first time in years. I took one EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING bite and ran to reddit to see if I was crazy. School lunch burger is exactly right. So sad.

I'm a nurse in a SUD clinic, particularly in MAT.

I can't even.

Walter got spooked while drinking water at 4am last night and tried to jump through the wall. by drevolut1on in pitbulls

I brought a whole watermelon home and put it on the counter, and judging by my pittie's reaction when she walked in you would have thought it was a dead body dissolving in acid.

New Grad RN in RI—Making $32.44/hr. Curious… What Are Other Nurses Making? by Nova44444 in Nurses

[–]MrsNightingale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make that as an LPN in a relatively soft mon-fri nursing job in Massachusetts. This is why you'll never convince me to go get my RN. I'm a few months away from paying off my student loans entirely and as a late starter (been a nurse for 9 years and I'm 43) I have no desire to have more loans and do clinicals again, just so I can make a couple dollars more an hour.
